In the transgenic multicolor labeling strategy called 'Brainbow', Cre-loxP recombination is used to create a stochastic choice of expression among fluorescent proteins, resulting in the indelible ...

Figure 3: XFP expression in Brainbow transgenic mice. Thus, combinatorial gene expression in Brainbow mice appears to be generated by multiple copies of the transgene recombining independently towards ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- By activating multiple fluorescent proteins in neurons, neuroscientists at Harvard University are imaging the brain and nervous system as never before, rendering their cells in a ...
