(R)evolution of protein-based calcium sensors: Expanding the toolbox of genetically encoded calcium sensors with new colors and traits is important for understanding calcium signaling and its relation to other intracellular pathways. Campbell and co-workers have used a new directed-evolution strategy to develop a rich palette of new sensors, including the first red-shifted, genetically encoded calcium sensor.
