The genome sequence of the most common laboratory frog reveals that it originated when different frog species hybridized and the genome doubled, paralleling events that led to the origin of ...

The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) is the most commonly used frog in biological research 1. It is the model amphibian in developmental and molecular biology because, among other characteristics, ...

Good things come but once a year, but the international Xenopus conference is so good it only comes around every other year. The conference brought together researchers from nearby Europe, further ...

Actually, they are quite similar. The three clawed frog species, Xenopus borealis, laevis and tropicalis, are about as closely related as a horse and a donkey. But when it comes to their comfort ...

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, Vol. 62, No. 11 (Sep., 2008), pp. 1821-1829 (9 pages) We examined the behavioral and developmental responses of Xenopus laevis larvae to their mirror images in ...

The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study. Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ...

A fungus that grows on the backs of frogs may be responsible for the extinction of dozens of species, say the authors of a study published in Thursday’s issue of Nature. Amphibian chytrid fungus seems ...

Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study by researchers at the ...

When a Xenopus frog is deeply wounded, its skin can regenerate without scarring. Researchers have found that cells under the skin contribute to this regeneration after an excision injury. When a ...

Can scrambled eggs unscramble themselves? Well, sort of. The cytoplasm of ruptured Xenopus frog eggs spontaneously reorganizes into cell-like compartments, according to a study by researchers at the ...

Human-frog hybrids might reveal the neurological secrets of autism. By fusing cells from the preserved brains of deceased autistic patients with the eggs of a carnivorous African frog called Xenopus, ...
