Scientists announced Thursday they had cracked the genetic code of an African clawed frog, the latest project aimed at understanding how genes work for potential applications in human health.
The genome -- or collection of genetic information -- of Xenopus tropicalis, a frog living entirely in water in sub-Saharan Africa, was published in the April 30 issue of the journal Science.
