Welcome to the Xenopus Genome resources page. This homepage will
bring together information on
Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis
tools at NCBI and Xenopus community related resources.
We encourage your suggestions.

What's New

Xenbase 2.0 and My Xenbase...

Xenbase has a new look that includes over 2000 gene pages. Xenbase now provides official nomenclature so please note the section provided for working Xenopus gene nomenclature guidelines.


Xenopus Full-Length cDNAs
Xenopus Gene Collection (XGC) has deposited over 10000 X. laevis and over 5000 X. tropicalis clones in GenBank. Click on these links to retrieve the set of all X. laevis or X. tropicalis XGCs in GenBank. Click here
for tips on finding cDNA clones.
