Project description:The aim of this study was to study the gene expression profile in developing female and male gonads of Xenopus laevis at four stages: at the Nieuwkoop-Faber stage 50 (genital ridge), at NF53 (sex-determining period), NF56 (the onset of sexual differentiation), NF62 (gonads sexually differentiated).
Project description:We investigated the cornified spines in a sexually mature and male Xenopus laevis frog. The spines are located on the ventral forelimb skin. Aim was to identify the protein composition of the nuptial spines.
