Back again… + GFP mutation database

Just got back from a week in the desert at Burning Man.  This was the year of Dune-like duststorms, with two 8-hour whiteouts.  Need to build a better shade structure next year…  

Some big GECI papers have come out recently, the TN-XXL paper from Griesbeck, and the “1-AP” D3cpv paper from Maz Hasan. Later this week, we will take a critical look at these two papers, and hopefully get back to that GECI shootout paper from last month.

Till then, check out this awesome spreadsheet of fluorescent protein sequences and mutations from George McNamara.
