Features: This book is suitable for teaching and research personnel engaged in developmental biology, cell biology, genomics, genetics, molecular biology, drug design and development, and functional genomics, as well as undergraduates and graduate students in related disciplines. Xenopus is a model organism in biological research and holds a significant position in functional genomics, developmental biology, cell biology, proteomics, and neurobiology. It plays a crucial role in the early development of vertebrates. This book is a facsimile of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press's Early Development of Xenopus Laevis: A Laboratory Manual. The experimental protocols cover morphogenesis in Xenopus embryos and adults, manipulation of gene expression in Xenopus, embryo collection and routine experimental operations, microinjection, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, culture media and solutions, and other aspects of Xenopus early development research. Each protocol has been carefully selected and refined by experts, with rigorous, accurate, concise, and standardized experimental designs, demonstrating strong operability and commendable quality. The book includes both fundamental knowledge for beginners and detailed information for experienced researchers. The layout design focuses on convenience for readers, with abundant figures and tables interspersed throughout the text to assist in experimental design. The appendix also lists essential materials for Xenopus early development research, such as formulations and preparation methods for basic solutions and buffers.
