Abstract excerpt
In the rapidly developing, diploid amphibian Xenopus tropicalis, genetics can be married to the already powerful tools of the amphibian system to overcome a disability that has hampered Xenopus laevis as a model organism: the difficulties inherent in conducting genetic analyses in a tetraploid organism with a longer generation time. We describe here a gynogenetic screen to uncover naturally occurring recessive...
