With the successful establishment of both targeted gene disruption and integration methods in the true diploid frog Xenopus tropicalis , this excellent vertebrate genetic model now is making a unique contribution to modelling human diseases. Here, we summarize our efforts on establishing homologous recombination‐mediated targeted integration in Xenopus tropicalis , the usefulness, and limitation of targeted integration via the homology‐independent strategy, and future directions on how to further improve targeted gene integration in Xenopus tropicalis .
