Information about the Image

The image represents ubiquitous expression of an enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) transgene in the TgN(EGFPU)5Nagy hemizygous preimplantation stage embryos. Transgenic blastocysts can be separated from non-transgenics due to green fluorescence. The image is used here with permission of Drs. Kat Hadjantonakis and Andras Nagy.
