Rabbits join a growing list of fluorescent fur-bearers. 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.www2.tvboxnow.com5 {7 M" ` t }$ s( R
The 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 q2 `. ]3 p( ^) _/ N/ `8 JTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。For example, when Mayo Clinic researchers genetically engineered cats to carry a protein that defends the animals from infection by the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV, the cat version of HIV), the scientists added the fluorescent gene along with the FIV-resistance gene. That way they knew that any cat that fluoresced also carried protein protection against FIV, a trait that would otherwise be invisible. ) x5 m# y2 K9 f( R7 S& q4 p( By Tim Wall Published August 15, 2013 Discovery News ) " M6 n1 f- Y) e& s; ~* l# x公仔箱論壇 . q' P# \( l# |$ E5 O1 x2 ATVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 : y/ x8 e* Q8 Y& _9 N2 n公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb0 `& {4 s8 v5 m+ ?
