Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have discovered a family of green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) in a primitive sea animal ...

Living bacteria embedded in silicone can absorb green LED light and re-emit it as red, offering a potential sustainable ...

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Scientists in China have just grown a fluorescent green monkey using stem cells in a world first. Although this has been observed in other animals, such as rats and mice before, so far it has not been ...

Fluorescent protein chromophores are the light‐emitting centres intrinsic to proteins such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants. These chromophores emerge through post‐translational ...

Taiwan, home to the world’s first transgenic glowing fish, has successfully bred fluorescent green pigs that researchers hope will boost the island’s stem cell research, a professor said on Thursday.

A fluorescent tag, commonly referred to as a label or probe, is a fluorophore that may be used to determine the distribution and quantity of a particular target biomolecule both in vitro and in vivo, ...

In 2011, Mayo Clinic researchers genetically modified cats as part of a study involving feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV, the cat version of HIV). Those cats were also injected with a jellyfish gene ...

Scientists have just achieved a milestone in stem-cell biology after creating a monkey from two embryos. And proof of the achievement, perhaps unnervingly, showed up in the infant primate’s eerie ...

Cats come in all sorts of colors—tabby, orange, and calico—but scientists are most interested in the fluorescent variety. Eric Poeschla, a molecular virologist at the Mayo Clinic, used a technique ...
