[Coral-List] coral fluorescent proteins

[mikhail matz]

Hello colleagues,

For anybody who is curious about coral fluorescence: our paper just  
came out in PLoS ONE, describing 40 new coral fluorescent proteins,  
phylogeny and a little about the history and mechanisms of color  
diversification in evolution (based on ancestral reconstructions and  
mutagenesis).

Here is the PLoS link:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone. 
0002680

The paper can also be downloaded from our lab's website:

The sequence data (alignment of coding cDNA sequences and  
corresponding proteins), in addition to PLoS one website, can be  
downloaded here:

cheers
