GFP is also lurid fun fluorescent aquarium fish
transfectable FP of every color are findable online Blue Green Red are more affordable Yellow is newer
how come this page lacks scientific references? for a subject like GFP, one could find endless supplies of papers...
Since 69.123.68.35 keeps trying to add a Chalfie reference I decided to add a bit of history, including the specific contributions of the 4 main players in the development of GFP. I also fleshed out some detail on the specific mutants that led to EGFP. -AH
[edit] Uses
In short, whats it used for? Like many scientific and historical articles on wikipedia, this one goes of at a tangent, without actually describing its importance. You know, scientists don't wear lab coats and drink coffee into the night just to discover a protein they do it for a reward, or its use in the science community. And that reward/use is....? Anyone care to help out?Tourskin 23:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Agreed, need to flesh out WHY the protein is so important, and the diversity of it's uses. Will write up a consise summary in a new section in the next few days. AndrewHires 21:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GFP lab
I am a lay person who wants my blood tested with GFP. I am interested in the number of circulating adult stem cells. I have found a company who claims they have done such a study but my group is interested in finding a lab that would do that for us. Do you know what laboratory we can contact that could do that? 69.161.152.51 00:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
