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.
