"jellyfish" news and stories

When pigs glow...

Scientists in Taiwan have bred, through transgenic engineering, three glowing pigs. Not only do these pigs glow, they glow green due to jellyfish DNA inserted into the pigs' embryos. Other labs have produced partially green pigs, but these are the first completely colored ones, with everything from green organs to green-tinged eyes and skin. Scientists intend to use green pigs such as these for research purposes, because genetic material taken from them will be easy to spot, due to its color, in ordinary pigs.

Admittedly, these pigs are not currently intended for eating, but suddely "green eggs and ham" seems like more of a possibility, doesn't it?
