synonyms = The Western clawed frog ("Xenopus tropicalis") is a species of frog in the Pipidae family. It is the only species in the Xenopus genus to have a diploid genome. [Enrique Amaya, Martin F. Offield, and Robert M. Grainger. Frog genetics: Xenopus tropicalis jumps into the future. Trends in Genetics. Volume 14, Issue 7, 1 July 1998, Pages 253-255.] Its genome has been sequenced [ [http://genome.jgi-psf.org/Xentr4/Xentr4.home.html JGI X. tropicalis v4.1] ] , making it a significant model organism for genetics that complements the related species "Xenopus laevis" (the African clawed frog) [Bowes "et al" (2008). [http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/36/suppl_1/D761 Xenbase: a Xenopus biology and genomics resource.] "Nucleic Acids Res" 36:D761.] , a widely used vertebrate model for developmental biology.
