Summary
"Xenopus is unique among the model animals used in the biology. Several books of protocols used Xenopus. Missing is a book taking an historical perspective documenting cell and developmental discoveries and illustrating how Xenopus contributes to the understanding of genes. These topics will be covered in the proposed book"-- Provided by publisher
