Xenopus laevis is a popular model organism for gene and protein expression studies. Particularly, X. laevis oocytes are used due to their relatively large size (1mm diameter) and their readiness to culture for use in experiments. X. laevis has a tetraploid genome and takes 1 to 2 years to reach sexual maturity. Although it does not exibit the short generation time and genetic simplicity of many other model organisms, X. laevis does have a large and easily manipulable embryo, making it an important model organism for developmental biology research.
