    Xenopus laevis egg

    2753

    Xenopus laevis, the African clawed frog, has long been used as a model organism for studying embryonic development. In this image, RNA encoding the transcription factor Sox 7 (dark blue) is shown to predominate at the vegetal pole, the yolk-rich portion, of a Xenopus laevis frog egg. Sox 7 protein is important to the regulation of embryonic development.
