The Xenopus Model Welfare Organization will make the use of xenopus as a model organism better by promoting model specific, species specific knowledge and making that knowledge readily available to all stakeholders, including researchers, animal care supervisors, veterinarians, IACUC’s, and government oversight entities. It will influence the care, well-being, and welfare of xenopus as a model for years to come. It will be a compassionate entity that supports the care of xenopus frogs in research institutions and supports the people using xenopus by promoting science based, practical knowledge that can be used by all.

This gateway provides a place for researchers funded by the NC3Rs to promote the 3Rs impact of their work, and publish rapidly, in an open and transparent manner.

Xenbase's mission is to provide the international research community with a comprehensive, integrated and easy to use web based resource that gives access the diverse and rich genomic, expression and functional data available from Xenopus research. Xenbase also provides a critical data sharing infrastructure for many other NIH-funded projects, and is a focal point for the Xenopus community. In addition to our primary goal of supporting Xenopus researchers, Xenbase enhances the availability and visibility of Xenopus data to the broader biomedical research community.

These photographic guides should be used in conjunction with our Welfare Monitoring Tools to identify behaviours which indicate positive and negative welfare. Video guides to behaviour are also available. 

The Sanger Mouse Genetics Programme (Sanger MGP) was initiated in 2006 to advance the functional understanding of protein coding and non-coding RNA genes using a standardised high-throughput phenotypic screen designed to contribute to improved diagnosis and treatment of human disease.

INFRAFRONTIER aims to build a world-class research infrastructure that provides the biomedical research community with the tools needed to unravel the role of gene function in human disease.
