Stable integration of foreign DNA into the frog genome has been the purpose of several
studies aimed at generating transgenic animals or producing mutations of endogenous …

Mitotic chromosomes of 16 species of the frog genus Xenopus were prepared from kidney
and lung cell cultures. In the chromosomes of 7 species, high-resolution replication banding …

There are regional variations of sex chromosome morphologies in the Japanese wrinkled
frog, Rana rugosa (2n= 26): heterogametic ZZ/ZW-type and XX/XY-type sex chromosomes …

Background We work on the development of transgenic sexing strains in the codling moth,
Cydia pomonella (Tortricidae), which would enable to produce male-only progeny for the …

Laser microdissection was used for the preparation of whole chromosome painting probes
in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis. Subsequent cross-species fluorescence in situ …

A single copy gene, mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase 2 (Mdh2), was localized on
Xenopus tropicalis chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization coupled with tyramide …

Amphibians have been used since the 19th century as vertebrate models for the
experimentalist. Since 50 years or so, Xenopus laevis is the most widely used anuran …

The genus Xenopus represents important model organisms in the field of developmental
biology and chromosomal evolution. Developmental processes are tightly coupled with the …

Two paralogous mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase 2 (Mdh2) genes of Xenopus laevis
have been cloned and sequenced, revealing 95% identity. Fluorescence in-situ …

For chromosomal localization of the hFVIII human transgene in F2 and F3 generation of
transgenic rabbits, FISH-TSA was applied. A short cDNA probe (1250 bp) targeted …
