The discovery of DsRed (and other Anthozoa fluorescent proteins of various hues) had a twofold impact on the fluorescent protein engineering community. First, there is now a relatively diverse ...

Researchers successfully use a nonviral, piggyBac transposon system to introduce a transgene into cynomolgus monkeys.

Researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a transgene – that is, a gene that has been ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, ...
