Welcome to the Harland Lab Xenopus tropicalis web site and our Mutagenesis Project. We have created this site to distribute protocols and techniques for the experimental use of X. tropicalis and in particular frog genetics.
For use as an experimental model organism, Xenopus tropicalis is similar in many ways to Xenopus laevis but does have important differences. In particular X. tropicalis offers the possibility for genetic analysis. Our goal for this site is to describe our progress in developing trop genetics and to distribute methods so that the genetic possibilities in X. tropicalis can be exploited by a wide audience.
