...Brainbow-2.1 construct can express one of four colors (n-GFP, RFP, YFP or M-CFP.) The construct contains ...CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing may be the hot new way to manipulate gene expression, but other gene manipulation...recombination, RFP is expressed. Cre can mediate one of two deletions to allow YFP or M-CFP expression; these deletions...first fluorescent protein in the construct, OFP (orange), is expressed when Cre is absent; stochastic Cre...the construct.
Sanes and Lichtman used pronuclear injection to insert these Brainbow constructs into...” state; for example, Brainbow-1.0 expresses RFP when the construct has not undergone recombination. This...the number and type of cells in which the construct is expressed. The photostability of Brainbow-3.2 is ...
