科學家們已經克隆出了能在暗處發光的兔子，使人類向開發出治愈威脅生命遺傳疾病的藥物更邁進了一步。
根據驅動之家報導，夏威夷和土耳其的研究者們成功地培育出一窩八隻的兔子，其中兩隻在暗處會發出綠光。這一綠意盎然的顏色表示注入胚胎的基因物質成為了兔子自身的組成成份。
夏威夷大學Stefan Moisyadi 博士告訴KITV ：『它就是一個記號表明我們能讓一個不是動物本身的基因存在於該動物體內。』這兩隻兔子在光亮處看起來跟它們白色的同胞沒有區別。它們出生在土耳其的一個研究中心裡。7 W$ Y6 L1 a% T7 o1 H: [( G
Moisyadi博士告訴KHON2：『它們就像正常的動物那樣生活……沒有顯示生病症狀。它們就像發光的燈管，整隻兔子就是一盞LED燈。』tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb) i1 l+ B' M- L* F
試驗使用了取自水母身上的螢光蛋白，使80年代開始的研究更進了一步，當年他們培育出了能在暗處發光的老鼠。從那時開始至今，科學家們先後在小貓，小狗，猴子和小豬身上進行試驗。(大陸新聞中心／綜合報導)公仔箱論壇  U0 t. N7 d) |# Q  G! z0 c, ~

A glowing bunny sounds like a creature from Jefferson Airplane’s psychedelic-laced song, “White Rabbit,” but real fluorescent rabbits were recently born at the University of Istanbul, Turkey.
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.1 j9 J  J( y0 {: B! W* j
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.
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.
