Movies: animations illustrating Xenopus development

Xenopus laevis

Stages	Movie	Author	Content
Single Cell to Blastula	(7.5M)	H.Williams and J.Smith	Cleavage from one cell to blastula stage embryo.
Single Cell to Gastrula	(10.6M)	H.Williams and J.Smith	Synchronous development of Xenopus laevis embryos during early embryogenesis. Gastrulation follows the synchronous cleavage stages, and migrating involuted mesoderm can be seen underlying the prospective ectoderm cells.
Gastrulation	(1M)	M.Danilchik	A morph of confocal optical sections illustrating the internal movements during gastrulation.
Gastrulation	(332K)	R. Keller, digitized by Jeff Hardin	A dorsal surface view of gastrulating embryo.
Gastrulation through Neurulation and Tailbud	(13M)	H.Williams and J.Smith	Time lapse dorsal view.

Xenopus tropicalis

Stages	Movie	Author	Content
Gastrulation	(1.9M)	E.Amaya	Color vegetal view of blastopore closure.
Neurulation and Elongation	(1.8M)	E.Amaya	Color dorsal view of neural tube closure and tailbud elongation.
