Welcome to the new Xenbase

In response to community feedback, we have developed a new homepage and expanded our community announcements section. We are now spotlighting new high-impact Xenopus research articles.


Explore our great new features:

New features are marked "new" on the Xenbase homepage, updated features are marked with a checkmark.



   - Antibody Database - search through 500+ curated antibody reagents known to work in Xenopus
   - X. laevis Genome v 7.1 pre-release - the allotetraploid genome is now incorporated into our Gbrowse
   - Improved Genome Browser - the latest version (2.55) has several bug fixes, is running reliably on new machines, and has several new features:

         - zoom in to 100bp to see the DNA sequence
         - faster, cleaner interface with many optional tracks
         - download snapshots as png's or send to others as a link
         - download track data in gff3, fasta, or GenBank format for selected regions, entire scaffold, or entire track across the genome.
         - faster response

   - Faster BLAST Server

   - Expanded community announcements and resources

   - New miRNA expression wiki from the Wheeler lab.

   - New Morpholino Wiki listing 300+ published MOs.
