…bioluminescent jellyfish at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., and first identified the green fluorescent protein (GFP) that helps it glow. Douglas Prasher, also working at Woods Hole at the time, then isolated the gene that encodes GFP. Prasher sent the gene to Martin Chalfie at Columbia University,…
