ABSTRACT

Xenopus genomics, or Xenomics for short, is coming of age.   Indeed, biological insight into processes, such as growth factor signalling and

patterning of the early embryo, is now being gained by combining the value of Xenopus as a model organism for cell and developmental

biology with genomic approaches.   In this review I address these recent advances and explore future possibilities gained from combining this

powerful experimental system with genomic approaches, and how our quest to understand basic biological principles will be greatly facilitated

though the marriage of Xenopus and genomics.
