Michael Davidson Fluorescent Protein Collection


The lab of Michael Davidson from Florida State University has contributed their comprehensive collection of ORFs tagged with a variety of fluorescent proteins. The majority of the ORFs are of mammalian origin and include localization data found below. In addition, the Davidson lab has contributed the corresponding empty backbone with different fluorescent tags for you to create fusion proteins with your gene of interest. Most of these plasmids are available to industry scientists as well as academic and non-profit labs.

Read our blog post to learn more about this collection, or visit Michael Davidson's Molecular Expressions website (Link opens in a new window) for images, tutorials, microscopy protocols, and more.
