Review
"A particularly helpful adjunct is provided by a CD-ROM included with the book. This disc contains color images for many of the protocols and is especially useful for visualization. The breadth of applications for green fluorescent protein will make this book useful for many laboratories and may provide new approaches for others not previously familiar with gfp as a tool. Gfp has provided a wide ranging and valuable tool for many investigators. This is a very useful set of protocols, even for those who don't think they have an application for the technique. It is especially valuable to have the diverse methods compiled in a single book. Most will find something of value." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
"...this book truly is a collection of "Applications and protocols" and such is the degree of detail in the methods described that it should perhaps have been sub-titled "A Laboratory Manual." -The Analyst

Product Description
Barry W. Hicks and a team of well-practiced experimentalists demonstrate the power and the versatility of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker with a cutting-edge collection of readily reproducible GFP techniques. These include methods for detecting and imaging GFP (FRET, BRET, and whole-body imaging); for using GFP to create and select for transgenic organisms, for its use as a biosensor; and for studying viruses. A valuable companion CD-ROM displays many color figures and videos from over half the chapters.
