The kittens glow in the dark!

Take a look at the kittens to the left: Pretty normal fluffy cuteness, right. Then take a look at the kittens to the right: Spooky! Like a creative manip someone did with Photoshop filter around here. But it's not a photo manip; it's the cats' genes that have been manipulated.



Scientists at the University of Gyeongsang in Seoul in South Korea have changed the DNA of a cat by planting in a fluorescent gene in it. And from that cat they have cloned a litter of kittens that glow in the dark with a pale red light. The reason is not to create cool and different pets for rich brats though, but to try out different DNA sequences in the order of being able to cure deceases in the future using advanced DNA manipulation.

Earlier there have been pigs glowing in the dark too. Pigs that have been given a gene from a jellyfish that made it fluorescent with a green colour.
