Nieukoop to Holtfreter, April 1948: “….a new animal appeared in the embryological firmament…” #xenopus. ⁦National Xenopus Resource⁩ ⁦Xenbase⁩

What a crew! #xret24 is a smashing success!!! Thanks to the organizers! ⁦Jennifer Landino⁩ ⁦Coral Zhou⁩ ⁦Helen Willsey⁩

Check out these amazing #Xenopus resources through Xenbase ! Make sure you send this out to all your labmates. Xenbase has SO many features all ready to help you get the work done 💪🐸✨

It’s giving Joker vibes… #Xenopus laevis neuronal beta-tubulin-GFP transgenic tadpole head en face, stained for phalloidin (red) and nuclei (blue). Transgenic line from National Xenopus Resource imaged during the cshlxeno course on a Leica Microsystems widefield scope by Helen Willsey.

NEW TOOL on Xenbase Simple Synteny Search: 16,000 synteny maps! Each map shows the gene of interest at center (yellow) flanked by 5 up and 5 downstream genes. bio1.xenbase.org/synteny/Xenbas… Test it out and tell us if you find any bugs: [email protected] #science #devbio #xenoopus #frogs

So many mechanisms that determine whether an embryo develops into a male or female in the frog genus Xenopus. How did these mechanisms evolved? Happy to share our new paper: Rapid Sex Chromosome Turnover in African Clawed Frogs (Xenopus) and the Origins.. academic.oup.com/mbe/article/41…

⚙️#ORIPResourceOfTheMonth. The National Xenopus Resource, National Xenopus Resource collaborates with The European Xenopus Resource Centre, supporting the Xenopus community by providing breeding, maintaining genetic stocks & distributing stocks to researchers. (ORIP- P40OD010997). Learn more: orip.nih.gov/division-compa…

We are very excited to be hosting the 20th international Xenopus conference this year and are looking forward to seeing all of you lovely frog people. Come to Portsmouth for a week of science, fun and hopefully good weather. Check the EXRC website for more details.

The MBL hosts the National Xenopus Resource, which serves as a national stock center for X. laevis and X. tropicalis. 🐸 Our frog ranchers raise thousands of individuals and develop new experimental tools and husbandry techniques to support the Xenopus research community. 📷: Molly Herring

Congratulations to Ray Keller, PhD for his election to the National Academy of Sciences. xenbase.org/xenbase/doNews… #science #devbio #xenops #frogs

There’s still time to submit abstracts to this conference. Looking forward to seeing people at the conference. NXR will be there to answer any questions you have and discuss opportunities to use NXR resources.

Abstract submission for the 20th International Xenopus Conference in Portsmouth, UK is extended to 12pm UK time, June 9! xenopusresource.org/20th-internati… #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs

Please read and share this opinion piece written by Carole LaBonne (our fellow Xenopus researcher) published in STAT in support for animal models in biomedical research. statnews.com/2025/05/19/ani… #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs

Nice new paper using the tuba1a:MyrPalm-mRFP transgenic line from the NXR!

fda.gov/news-events/fd… Please watch video and post a comment in support of use of animal models. They are seeking our input and if we don’t provide it then they will simply say well we didn’t hear anything

Let Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD and Marty Makary MD, MPH know there is strong support for animal models. They are essential for biomedical research

A nice paper that used X. laevis from the NXR!

It is absolutely crazy to think we no longer need model organism research. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
