    Tencent science news (traveler / compiler) genetic engineers have created glowing dogs, cats, pigs and mice by inserting a jellyfish gene into the DNA of mammals A protein of the jellyfish glows when exposed to ultraviolet light The jellyfish's genes add a significant body change to the engineered animals This enables scientists to understand that genetic material has been successfully transferred to a new organism
    The genetically engineered rabbit glows under ultraviolet light   For example, when Mayo Clinic researchers genetically engineered cats to carry a protein that prevents them from contracting the immunodeficiency virus (FIV), scientists added a fluorescent gene to the FIV resistance gene Then they will know that any glowing cat will also carry a FIV resistant protein, otherwise the protein will not be observed   Ryuzo yanagimachi and Stefan moisyadi, geneticists at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, worked with scientists at the University of Istanbul and the University of Marmara to create these luminous rabbits These fluorescent rabbits may also eventually produce proteins Genetically engineered rabbits can make protein molecules, which biologists will collect from the milk of female luminous rabbits Making drugs or other chemicals from rabbits may be cheaper than making them in factories.
