The Glofish either have a green fluorescent protein (GFP) that was originally extracted from a jellyfish (Aequorea victoria), or the red fluorescent protein (RFP) originated from Discosoma sp., an Indo-Pacific ocean relative of sea anemones and coral.

The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

BCH-GENE-SCBD-45846-5 Green Fluorescent Protein gene | Aequorea victoria (Crystal Jellyfish, Water Jellyfish, AEQVI)Protein coding sequence | Selectable marker genes and reporter genes
-
BCH-GENE-SCBD-103740-1 Red Fluorescent Protein gene | Discosoma sp. (Coral anemones, Sea anemones)Protein coding sequence | Selectable marker genes and reporter genes
DNA constructs were made by fusing a zebrafish muscle-specific promoter to the green and red fluorescent protein genes. These constructs were then microinjected into the zebrafish embryos at the one- or two-cell stage. Fluorescent proteins are expressed in the skeletal muscle and are readily visible under normal daylight.
