About the Cover

Traditional mouse reporters were not optimized for tissue clearing, leading to substantial fluorescence loss. Here, Chen et al. introduce the Ci1 reporter line, powered by the bright red fluorophore mScarlet and named after the Chinese Institute for Brain Research (CIBR). It outperforms the standard Ai14 reporter in every tested metric, most notably in signal retention after clearing. The creation of the Ci1 reporter provides a more effective tool for both neuroscience and other biomedical research applications. On the cover, a mouse relaxes under a green desk lamp, reading “How to Be a Superstar” and glowing red; CRISPR “bugs” in the background apply mouse-genetics cyclopedia, mScarlet wine, and “CRISPR chips” to rewrite its DNA strands. See pages 1317–1328. (Cover provided by Ms. Evelyn Xiaoya Zhao)
