Active Learning Enables Efficient Directed Evolution of a Far-Red Fluorescent Protein with Minimal Experimental Data
Fluorescent proteins are fundamental tools for cellular imaging. Most fluorescent proteins in routine use, including GFP, are derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and emit blue-green light, which is strongly absorbed and scattered by tissue, limiting imaging depth. Far-red and near-infrared fluorescent proteins, engineered from bacteriophytochromes, address this limitation because far-red…
