title: [Molecular-genetic mechanisms of developing the brain based on an embryonic Xenopus model].
abstract: The review considers the advantages of Xenopus embryos as an experimental model to study the molecular-genetic mechanisms of embryo development. The results are described that were obtained with this model in studies on the early brain development within the framework of the Russian program Human Genome.
