Laboratory manual designed to introduce developmental biologists to the use of Xenopus as a model system. Should be used in conjunction with Kay and Peng (1991) and Nieuwkoop and Faber (1994). Text arose from a course first taught at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in April 1991. Cloth edition, 'printed hardcover' edition will not be handled by Majors.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Specialised and comprehensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Early Development of Xenopus Laevis: A Laboratory Manual (Spiral-bound)
Certainly a specialised book that would only appeal to herpetologists interested in developmental aspects of anuran larvae. Comprehensive nonetheless, and fascinating for the interested anuran biologist.

everything a specialist needs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Early Development of Xenopus Laevis: A Laboratory Manual (Spiral-bound)
This is a laboratory manual aimed at people who work on Xenopus development in, well, laboratories. If you are a herpetologist or general frog enthusiast this book is not for you. As far as adult frogs go, Xenopus are actually quite ugly. However, if you work with their beautiful embryos and need to know how to do wholemount in situ hybridization, mark dorsal blastopore lips, dejelly embryos, or dozens of other technical processes- this book is exactly what you need. The experts who designed and optimized these various protocols give step by step instructions on how to perform procedures in your own lab, list reagents and suppliers, provide chemical safety information, and more.Hardly a week goes by without us referring to this book in my lab.
