Genetic engineers have created glowing dogs, cats, pigs and mice by inserting a gene from a jellyfish into the mammals’ DNA. The jellyfish gene codes for a protein that emits light when exposed to ultraviolet light. % h k! ?5 d( x/ x: Otvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThe jellyfish gene adds an obvious physical change to an engineered animal. This allows scientists to know that genetic material successfully transferred into a new organism. 5 C.

That way they knew that any cat that fluoresced also carried protein protection against FIV, a trait that would otherwise be invisible.www2.tvboxnow.com- }7 G+ F, Q; o+ H; d7 }
