But cloning the GFP gene would prove difficult to fund and to finish. After scrounging for funding, Prasher landed a three-year grant from the American Cancer Society.

From its humble beginnings in the bodies of a particular species of jellyfish, green fluorescent protein, or GFP for short, has transformed biomedical research. Using a gene that carries ...

GFP is used for mapping mec-7 gene expression in vivo in small nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. If exhibits a promising way to monitor the efficiency of gene transfer in transgenic animals and ...

Prasher went ahead and published his description of the GFP gene; Chalfie found that scientific paper while working with a graduate student, and the two researchers finally made contact.

Since Prasher cut the GFP gene out of the jellyfish genome with restriction digestion enzymes, the clone had extra DNA segments that bookended the GFP gene. If Chalfie and Euskirchen wanted only the ...

Fluorescence images showing targeted green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene expression in cones. Refer to Table 1 for specific details. (a–c) 3LCR-PR0.5-GFP (dog M571, left eye, 4 weeks post ...

By inserting a version of GFP along with their gene of choice, they could easily see if they were successful because the organism would glow.

A transgenic line of monkeys carrying a gene encoding green fluorescent protein fully integrated into their DNA has been created for the first time. The research, published in the journal Nature ...

In this system, base-editing activity results in the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP). The team installed a mutation in the bacterium's GFP gene to remove its fluorescence.

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...
