Great post @stevendion but there is is an unsung hero in the GFP story that many people miss and this person is Douglas Prasher. He was the scientist who cloned and published the sequence of the GFP gene. Unfortunately, his funding ran out in 1992 and he left academia. But his cloning of the GFP gene was instrumental for Marty Chalfie and Roger Tsien success with using GFP as an in vivo reporter.
Cheers!
