A toolbox for quantitative morphometric analysis of early development in spherical embryos, such as Xenopus laevis (African Clawed Frog). The toolbox was originally developed for Matlab 6.5 and higher and combines C-Mex code with Matlab functions and was originally hosted on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/frogspawn).
FrogSpawn tools were used for the following publications:
