Frog, any of various tailless amphibians belonging to the order Anura. The name ‘frog’ is often used to distinguish the smooth-skinned, leaping anurans from the squat, warty, hopping ones, which are called toads. In general, frogs have protruding eyes,
Amphibians have highly diverse sex-determining modes leading to a notable interest in vertebrate sex determination and sex chromosome evolution. The identification of sex-determining systems in amphibians, however, is often difficult as a vast majority consist of homomorphic sex chromosomes making them ha...

amphibians live in water. As adults, they live and breathe on land. This is just another cool fact about the life cycle of a frog. Other amphibians include newts and salamanders. Amphibians are often confused with reptiles, which are also cold-blooded. Reptiles live their entire life on land...
Recent advances in molecular techniques such as genome complexity reduction and high throughput sequencing present a valuable avenue for furthering our understanding of sex determination in amphibians and other taxa with homomorphic sex chromosomes like many fish and reptiles. Results: We use DArTseq as...
