#7 — In this episode, we cover how jellyfish were able to have a huge impact on biology through the discovery and development of GFP. Using GFP is now ubiquitous in pretty much all fields in biology, and we take you through how three Nobel Laureates developed this valuable research tool. [1] Many of the applications for GFP are microscopy-based, and we discuss how you can utilize GFP for translational and transcriptional fusions, FRAP, FLIP and FRET experiments in the lab. [2,3] Read the full article for more useful links, hints, and tips on using GFP in your experiments. [4] Resources: 1. Press release. NobelPrize.org. Nobel Prize Outreach AB 2022. Fri. 1 Jul 2022.
