Light-induced damage to biological samples during fluorescence imaging is known to occur but receives too little attention by researchers. Read more
Our reporting standards for fluorescent proteins – Feedback wanted
Several years ago, based on informal input from various members of the community, Nature Methods established some internal minimum reporting standards for manuscripts describing new or improved fluorescent proteins.
