Among the model animals used in the biology, the amphibian, Xenopus, is unique. Xenopus has made possible many fundamental contributions. Completed genome sequences and the application of editing techniques, have made Xenopus a powerful system for the study of disease mechanisms, the evolution of the genome, and tissue-specific cell types and behaviors. Several books of protocols used Xenopus. Missing is a book taking an historical perspective on how this model system emerged; documenting cell and developmental discoveries; and illustrating how Xenopus continues to contribute to the understanding of genes. These topics will be covered in the proposed book.Among the model animals used in the biology, the amphibian, Xenopus, is unique. Xenopus has made possible many fundamental contributions.
