Rag1-knockout newts lacking adaptive immunity regenerate larval limbs, tails and adult limbs without overt gross differences from controls; newt blastema tolerates allografts, and axolotl regenerating limbs show immunosuppressive transcriptional shifts.

Novabrowse enables high-resolution synteny analysis and ortholog detection by integrating BLAST results with genomic context, revealing gene presence/absence and chromosomal rearrangements in newt genomes.
