Claims21
A transgenic Cory comprising a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a fluorescent protein, wherein the Cory comprises a transformation event selected from a group consisting of the “Red Cory 1 transformation event”, the “Orange Cory 1 transformation event” and the “Green Cory 1 transformation event”.
A method of producing a transgenic Cory comprising:
- (a) obtaining a Cory that comprises a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a fluorescent protein, wherein the Cory comprises a transformation event selected from a group consisting of the “Red Cory 1 transformation event””, the “Orange Cory 1 transformation event” and the “Green Cory 1 transformation event”;
- and
- (b) breeding the obtained Cory with a second Cory to provide a transgenic Cory comprising the transformation event.
A transgenic cory comprising a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a green fluorescent protein, and a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding orange fluorescent protein.
A method of producing a transgenic cory comprising:
- (a) obtaining a cory that comprises a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding a green fluorescent protein and a chromosomally integrated expression cassette encoding orange fluorescent protein;
- and
- (b) breeding the obtained cory with a second cory.
