Over the past 50 years, the use of \u003ci\u003eXenopus\u003c\/i\u003e has made possible many fundamental contributions to our knowledge in cell biology, developmental biology, molecular biology, and neurobiology. In recent years, with the completion of the genome sequence of the main two species and the application of genome editing techniques, \u003ci\u003eXenopus\u003c\/i\u003e has emerged as a powerful system to study fundamental disease mechanisms and test treatment possibilities. \u003ci\u003eXenopus\u003c\/i\u003e has proven an essential vertebrate model system for understanding fundamental cell and developmental biological mechanisms, for applying fundamental knowledge to pathological processes, for deciphering the function of human disease genes, and for understanding genome evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides historical context of the contributions of the model system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes contributions from an international team of leading scholars\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents topics spanning cell biology, developmental biology, genomics, and disease model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes recent experimental advances\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncorporates richly illustrated diagrams and color images\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelated Titles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen, S.
