Very nice work. We need brighter fluorescent protein tags that are more compact, in particular in the far red spectrum. The size of current fluorescent protein coding DNA sequences is out of reach of prime editing and still relies on less efficient gene editing technology.

But they aren't brighter...

There is only so much that you can get out of tinkering with naturally evolved proteins. I suspect that these kind of tools can be used to generate smaller & brighter FP's in the near future.

its not more compact either, right?
