Comparison among bright green fluorescent proteins in C. elegans.

Sydney Ko | Kota Mizumoto
microPublication biology | 2025

Green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) are invaluable tools for visualizing cells and proteins across model systems. Efforts have been made to generate brighter fluorescent proteins such as eGFP, GFPnovo2, mNeonGreen, and mStayGold. Here, we generated single-copy knock-in C. elegans strains for these GFP variants and directly compared their brightness and photostability. We confirmed that mStayGold is brighter and more photostable than eGFP, GFPnovo2, and mNeonGreen, suggesting that it may hold advantages over other GFP variants in experiments where brightness and photostability are important factors.

RRID:SCR_002037

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
