Why would anyone want to make fish glow?

The glow of glowing fish comes from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. The GFP gene from Aequorea victoria was transferred to a zebrafish, where it is expressed in the muscle cells of the zebrafish. Interestingly creating glowing fish for pets wasn't the original purpose of the experiment. Instead these glowing fish were designed to sense toxins in the environment.

The first step was the creation of homozygous zebrafish, which would allow the creation of zebrafish mutants for research. https://rebrand.ly/xan03g A review article on transgene technology for the production of the human insulin protein. Herbert Boyer, together with the entrepreneur Robert Swanson founded Genentech that became a major in biotechnology and started producing human insulin in bacteria. The review takes a look at the history of insulin extraction and how commercial recombinant insulin production started. https://rebrand.ly/upkiqe (Open source) A fascinating paper by Stanley Cohen taking a retrospective look at the cloning and the impact it has had on biology. The paper outlines well the steps it took to clone DNA and refers to the significant papers. Here Cohen states that researchers suspected that there were barriers between species limiting the transfer of genes. https://rebrand.ly/uq345f The original paper (1962) by Osamu Shimomura and colleagues where they first extracted the GFP protein. They were studying a different fluorescent protein at the time, aequorin, and in the paper, GFP is only briefly mentioned as a side note and didn't have a name yet. Later it was found that in the jellyfish, Aequorea victoria, aequorin releases blue light that excites the GFP protein to glow green. https://rebrand.ly/cx5s4g Another vital paper (1979) by Osamu Shimomura and colleagues describing the structure of GFP https://rebrand.ly/lbls5z The famous paper describing the first transfer of the GFP gene by Douglas Prasher and colleagues https://rebrand.ly/ob8g5u A review of transgenic marine animals https://rebrand.ly/x759zu A review on the use of GFP in zebrafish by Zhiyuan Gong and Haiyan Wan. https://rebrand.ly/6qq1gq The paper on the first glowing fish by Zhiyuan Gong and colleagues https://rebrand.ly/0g3882 A paper describing the making of the glowing zebrafish by expressing GFP, RFP, and YFP under the mylpfa promoter. https://rebrand.ly/tgfvz9 (Open source) General review of fluorescent proteins as biomarkers https://rebrand.ly/zzi3e7 A paper assessing the environmental impact of Glofish https://rebrand.ly/mm6ky6 Zebrafish are more vulnerable to predators https://rebrand.ly/kumuhu A review article looking at the different fluorescent zebrafish developed for sensing environmental toxins. According to the article most of the methods created have not been able to detect toxicants at environmentally relevant concentrations https://rebrand.ly/62421 A review article on zebrafish and toxicology. The review looks at how zebrafish can be used to study the effects of toxins and also the research their use for toxin detection. https://rebrand.ly/lpj500 Zhiyuan Gong's fish was also meant to become toxin sensing fish. This is communicated in the book Frankenstein's Cat by Emily Anthes, which takes a look at transgenic animals in general. According to the author, she gained this knowledge from Alan Blake, one of the founders of Yorktown. In the patent filed by Zhiyuan Gong, the primary object of the fluorescent fish was stated to either be continually glowing or to glow selectively in the presence of chemicals. https://rebrand.ly/j0tyg4 https://rebrand.ly/1coima The book Frankenstein's Cat is also a source for the information on Yorktown technologies and the time when Glofish entered the market The selling of GM fish is limited in the EU https://rebrand.ly/79rhgl Credits: Glofish images are from www.glofish.com Images under (CC BY 2.0) https://rebrand.ly/8386d https://rebrand.ly/7d4e1 https://rebrand.ly/8e802 https://rebrand.ly/xqzway https://rebrand.ly/rm4g7y Other images https://rebrand.ly/qzahkv https://rebrand.ly/8a08c https://rebrand.ly/mvlmmg https://rebrand.ly/lhnpwn https://rebrand.ly/1d974 https://rebrand.ly/a7915 https://rebrand.ly/gi8qgq https://rebrand.ly/ad83b Zebrafish image under creative commons https://rebrand.ly/a4a80 Zebrafish development video (CC BY 4.0) https://rebrand.ly/69fc1
