cDNA-DERIVED NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING RED-SHIFTED CHANNELRHODOPSINS

University of Texas System

Abstract

Methods and compositions are used to identify and characterize new channelrhodopsins derived from algae and several of which are red-shifted. The rhodopsin domain of these red-shifted channelrhodopsins can be cloned and expressed in mammalian systems and used in optogenetic applications and as …
