About Us
The European Xenopus Resource Centre (EXRC) is situated in the United Kingdom and provides tools and services to support researchers using Xenopus models. Funded by the UKRI, NERC and BBSRC. The EXRC depends on researchers to obtain and deposit Xenopus transgenic and mutant lines, Xenopus in-situ hybridization clones, Xenopus specific antibodies and other resources with the centre.
EXRC staff perform quality assurance testing on these reagents and then makes them available to the community at cost. EXRC also supplies wild type Xenopus, embryos, oocytes, egg extracts, X.tropicalis Fosmids, X.laevis BACs and ORFeomes. A list of what is available can be found here, but if you don’t see what you need, call us: if we can help, we will.
