Xenopus laevis To allow greater flexibility for the research staff, the Department of University Animal Care (UAC) has prepared this "self instruction" web module. This module takes the place of the hour long lecture. Please read the following general information, and complete the quiz. In order to become certified for protocol purposes you must achieve eighty-five percent.
