(Submitter supplied) To identify genes with different expression levels in Xenopus laevis embryos of different sizes, RNAseq of middle gastrula RNA of the wild-size and artificially prepared half-size embryos was done. As a result, several genes with drastically different expression between these two types of embryos were found.

(Submitter supplied) RNA sequencing has allowed high-throughput screening of differential gene expression in many tissues and organisms. Xenopus laevis is a classical embryological and cell-free extract model system, but its genomic sequence had been lacking due to difficulties arising from allotetraploidy. There is currently much excitement surrounding the release of the completed X. laevis genome (version 9.1) by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), which provides a platform for genome-wide studies. more...

(Submitter supplied) Exostosin 1 (Ext1) is a glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of the extracellular matrix Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan (HSPG). Knockdown of Ext1 caused gastrulation defects and formation of an abnormal body axis. Since ext1 has been implicated as an indirect contributor to multiple signaling pathways in vertebrate development, microarray was used to identify genes expressed in gastrulae that would be affected by a reduction in ext1 expression. more...

(Submitter supplied) Studies of the Xenopus organizer have laid the foundation for our understanding of the conserved signaling pathways that pattern vertebrate embryos during gastrulation. Here, we use this wealth of knowledge as leverage in the design and analysis of a genomic visualization of organizer-related gene transcription. Using ectopic expression of the two major activities of the organizer, BMP and Wnt inhibition, as well as endogenous tissues, we generate a focused set of samples that represent different aspects of organizer signaling. more...

Analysis of stage 10 early and stage 11.5 late gastrula embryos ectopically expressing Noggin, Dkk-1, or both to induce different aspects of organizer activity. The organizer patterns vertebrate embryos during gastrulation. Results provide insight into organizer function during gastrulation.

(Submitter supplied) Animal embryos have the remarkable property of self-organization. Over 125 years ago Hans Driesch separated the two blastomeres of sea urchin embryos and obtained twins, in what was the foundational experiment of experimental embryology. Since then, embryonic twinning has been obtained experimentally in many animals by diverse methods. In a recent study, we developed bisection methods that generate identical twins reliably from Xenopus blastula embryos. more...

(Submitter supplied) During embryogenesis, the pancreas develops from separate dorsal and ventral buds, which fuse to form the mature pancreas. Little is known about the functional differences between these two buds or the relative contribution of cells derived from each portion to the pancreas after fusion. To follow the fate of dorsal or ventral bud derived cells in the pancreas after fusion, we produced chimeric Elas-GFP transgenic/wild type embryos in which either dorsal or ventral pancreatic bud cells expressed GFP. more...

(Submitter supplied) We investigated whether normal embryonic developmental cues are only at the level of cells within the embryo or whether they exist in interactions between embryos. To explore this, we subjected groups of embryos with disruptors of normal development while varying group size. RNA-seq analysis revealed a small set of transcripts specific for teratogen response in large groups but not small ones.
