Scientists created new, high-quality illustrations of frog Xenopus laevis development. This open-access resource, including a landmarks table, aids embryogenesis research and teaching.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Biology
  • Comparative Biology

Background:

  • The frog Xenopus laevis is a key model organism for embryogenesis, developmental biology, and disease research.
  • Nieuwkoop and Faber's classic 'Normal Table of Xenopus laevis' is crucial for experimental reproducibility but its illustrations are no longer accessible.
  • There is a need for updated, accessible visual resources for Xenopus laevis development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a new set of high-quality illustrations of Xenopus laevis development.
  • To provide an open-access resource for the scientific community.
  • To develop a landmarks table for easy stage identification.

Main Methods:

  • Generated 133 new illustrations detailing Xenopus laevis development from fertilization to metamorphosis.
  • Ensured illustrations include views not present in the original classic table.

  • Compiled a landmarks table with key morphological features and marker gene expression.

    • Main Results:

    • 133 new, high-quality illustrations of Xenopus laevis development are now available.
    • All images are accessible via Xenbase under a creative commons license.
    • A comprehensive landmarks table has been created for stage identification.

    Conclusions:

    • The new illustration set and landmarks table provide a valuable, open-access resource for Xenopus research and education.
    • This resource will enhance experimental reproducibility and facilitate new discoveries in developmental biology.
    • The accessible nature of these tools will support the Xenopus research community for years to come.
