To gain insight into these questions, we combine mathematical modelling, biophysics and quantitative measurements of spindles during the early development of the zebrafish Danio rerio and in Xenopus laevis egg extract. (dresden-ipp.de)
The African clawed frog X. laevis genome contains two full sets of chromosomes from two extinct ancestors. (brightsurf.com)
We currently use the mitotic spindle and the nucleus in Xenopus laevis egg extract and zebrafish Danio rerio embryos as model systems to study how the large - scale patterns and behaviors of biological structures emerge from the collective behaviors of molecules. (dresden-ipp.de)
