Bioluminescent fish for environmental detection, drug testing, and hobby collectors
The Technology Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed transgenic luminescent zebrafish. The gene cassette used to create the luminescence can be engineered to express exclusively in the presence of a particular compound or pollutant in the zebrafish’s environment, thus functioning as a bioluminescent environmental reporter. The...
