Fluorescent proteins have come along way since the discovery of GFP from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria in the early 1960s. Today, both natural and engineered fluorescent proteins come in a ...

The gene coding for GFP comes from the bioluminescent jellyfish, Aequorea victoria, and resides on a DNA plasmid called pGLO. The pGLO plasmid also contains a gene encoding for beta-lactamase.

Green fluorescent protein (GFP), which was first isolated in the 1960s from a crystal jelly (Aequorea victoria), has become instrumental to our understanding of biological phenomena. By ...
