The recent and massive expansion in plant genomics data has generated a large number of gene sequences for which two seemingly simple questions need to be answered: where do the proteins encoded by these genes localize in cells, and what do they do? One widespread approach to answering the localization question has been to use particle bombardment to transiently express unknown proteins tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) or its numerous derivatives. Confocal fluorescence microscopy is then used to monitor the localization of the fluorescent protein as it hitches a ride through the cell. The subcellular localization of the fusion protein, if not immediately apparent, can then be determined by comparison to localizations generated by fluorescent protein fusions to known signalling sequences and proteins, or by direct comparison with fluorescent dyes.

We analyze geographic genetic variation in C. ocellatus to evaluate the influences of major climatic, paleogeographic and anthropogenic factors in its biogeographic history. Ninety four specimens from 61 populations were collected across all of its geographical range and analyzed based on partial mitochondrial sequences (cyt b, 12S, and ND1).
