Genome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus laevis

Adam M. Session, +80 more
- 20 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: The Xenopus laevis genome is sequenced and it is estimated that the two diploid progenitor species diverged around 34 million years ago and combined to form an allotetraploid around 17–18 Ma, where more than 56% of all genes were retained in two homoeologous copies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the western clawed frog xenopus tropicalis

Uffe Hellsten, +49 more
- 30 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: The western clawed frog Xenopus tropicalis is an important model for vertebrate development that combines experimental advantages of the African clawed frogs Xenopus laevis with more tractable genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative and developmental study of the immune system in Xenopus

TL;DR: This review provides compelling evidence for the high degree of similarity and evolutionary conservation between Xenopus and mammalian immune systems and proposes to build a powerful and innovative comparative biomedical model based on modern genetic technologies that takes take advantage of X. laevis and S. tropicalis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Informative price advertising in a sequential search model

Jacques Robert, +1 more
- 01 May 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the role and implications of price advertising when shopping trips are costly to consumers is studied, and it is shown that when initial marginal advertising costs are positive, entry drives prices higher and while the informed consumers almost surely locate competitive prices, welfare does not necessarily increase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of heat shock protein and immunity.

TL;DR: It has been proposed that, the role of hsps in immunity emerged early in evolution and to be widespread in extant organisms and data from studies with the frog Xenopus support this proposition.
