MTSkiBum 1,620 Posted December 30, 2013 South China Agriculture University scientists were able to create the glow-in-the-dark pigs by injecting fluorescent protein from jellyfish DNA into pig embryos. The green color simply indicates that the fluorescent genetic material injected into the pig embryos has been incorporated into the animal’s natural make-up. “It’s just a marker to show that we can take a gene that was not originally present in the animal and now exists in it,” explains Dr. Stefan Moisyadi, a veteran bioscientist with the IBR. Dr. Moisyadi said the animals are not affected by the fluorescent protein and will have the same life span as other pigs. “The green is only a marker to show that it’s working easily,” he said. http://www.impactlab.net/2013/12/27/glow-in-the-dark-pigs-created-using-jellyfish-nda/ There is a joke with green eggs and ham here, but I can't think of it.

paulinstl 296 Posted December 31, 2013 Hopefully they don't make them too bright: 1. If the Chinese have to squint any harder they'll be blind. 2. If they do, the pigs may come over here and be National Merit Scholars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,788 Posted December 31, 2013 Wow. Banner year for the chineez. First, they finally discover the moon. Now, they invent flourescent pigs. A few more generations and I bet they'll even be able to work basic flatware. Seriously, how do you take any people seriously who can't master the FORK for Chrissake?
