[2] It is the second amphibian, and the first Neobatrachian, to have its whole genome published.

[3] Nanorana parkeri are medium-sized frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 44 mm (1.7 in) and females to 48 mm (1.9 in).

[4] The genome is about 2.3 Gb in size, encoding more than 20,000 protein-coding genes.

[3] xenbase provides limited support (BLAST, JBrowse tracks, genome download) for Nanorana parkeri.

This very common frog is found on high-altitude grasslands, forests, shrubs, lakes, ponds, marshes, streams and rivers in the Tibetan Plateau at elevations of 2,850–5,000 m (9,350–16,400 ft) above sea level.
