The African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis), also known as simply xenopus, African clawed toad, African claw-toed frog or the platanna) is a species of African aquatic frog of the family Pipidae. Its name is derived from the short black claws on its feet. The word Xenopus means 'strange foot' and laevis means 'smooth'.
Xenopus embryos for in vivo studies of human disease gene function: Xenopus embryos are large and easily manipulated, and moreover, thousands of embryos can be obtained in a single day. Indeed, Xenopus was the first vertebrate animal for which methods were developed to allow rapid analysis of gene function using misexpression (by mRNA injection ...
Gene nomenclature guidelines - Xenbase is the official body responsible for Xenopus gene naming; Literature search: Textpresso- Uses an algorithm to match your search to specific criteria or section of a paper. For example, you could identify papers describing HOX genes and limit your results to only papers which used morpholinos.
Müller's platanna (Xenopus muelleri), also known as Müller's clawed frog, [3] [4] is a species of frog in the family Pipidae found in Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo ...
Scopus xenopus is an extinct species of bird related to the hamerkop that lived during the Pliocene of South Africa. It was first described by Storrs L. Olson in 1984. Compared to S. umbretta , the modern hamerkop, S. xenopus was larger and had a foot structure more adapted to swimming.
The Kivu clawed frog (Xenopus vestitus) is a species of frog in the family Pipidae found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda.Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, swamps, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable ...
Xenopus lenduensis, the Lendu Plateau clawed frog, is a species of frog in the family Pipidae endemic to the Orientale Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] References
It is the only species in the genus Xenopus to have a diploid genome. [3] [4] Its genome has been sequenced, [5] [6] making it a significant model organism for genetics that complements the related species Xenopus laevis (the African clawed frog), [7] a widely used vertebrate model for developmental biology.
