Tomlinson, Matthew L. published the artcileXenopus as a model organism in developmental chemical genetic screens, Name: [(2-Hexylcyclopentylidene)amino]thiourea, the publication is Molecular BioSystems (2005), 1(3), 223-228, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Chem. genetics is a potentially powerful tool for studying developmental processes in vertebrate systems. The authors present data showing X. laevis as a model organism in which systematic chem. genetic screens can be carried out. Previous forward chem. genetic screens, including those with developing zebrafish embryos, have demonstrated the nature and value of biol. information gained with this approach. The authors show how amenable Xenopus is to chem. genetics by investigating a series of compounds either with known biochem. effects, or previously identified to give developmental phenotypes, on a range of biol. functions, including the development of pigmentation, the heart, and the central nervous system in zebrafish. The authors have found that the compounds give comparable phenotypes when applied to developing Xenopus embryos. The authors have also studied the penetrance and expressivity of these chem. genetic phenotypes in relation to genetic variation and the developmental window during which the compound is present. Finally, the authors assess the feasibility and the potential throughput of a screen in this vertebrate species.
