Although fluorescent proteins are ubiquitously used as genetic tracers and imaging agents, there is significant room for improvement. This chapter discusses how new improved fluorescent proteins can be designed. It focuses on the design of far-red and infrared fluorescent proteins, since the currently-available red fluorescent proteins are not optimal for in vivo applications.
