Atlas: Organ and Tissue Anatomy

This webpage introduces atlases of Xenopus, including books, papers, and external web content that have been released independently of our project. On clicking the icons below, you will be redirected to external websites where more details can be found.

An atlas originally means refers to "a book of maps." In biology, an atlas is similar to a book of maps that contain basic biological information of an organism, such as the positions and names of the cells, tissues, and organs. We are considering creation of an atlas of Xenopus tropicalis and publication of it on this website.
