Looks like we finally have "the next GFP". Until now we had monomeric GFPs brighter than EGFP (mClover3, mNeonGreen, mGreenLantern) but with reduced photostability.
In monomeric StayGold (mSG), there's finally an mGFP that is both brighter and more photostable.
Brightness:
So excited to share this lovely paper from the Miyawaki lab on their monomeric StayGold variants!
@michaelzlin and I were chatting at Janelia and he said we're in a second golden age of FP development. I believe it!
