Project description:Gene expression was examined in testis and brain tissue between two species (Xenopus laevis and Xenopus borealis) and their hybrid. Genomic DNA hybridizations of the microarray target and non-target species were used to select probes that are unbiased between species.

Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to identify differentially localized transcripts from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis stage VI oocytes. Besides the discovery of a group of novel animally enriched RNAs, this study revealed a surprisingly low conservation of vegetal RNA localization between the two frog species. mRNA profiles of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis animal and vegetal oocyte halves were generated by RNA-seq technology. For Xenopus laevis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were generated in duplicates. For Xenopus tropicalis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were analyzed.
