This cat has been cloned to GLOW IN THE DARK

hehe !
Imagine how you could scare the crap out of people with couple of those cats in a dark room !
 
Too bad that it doesn't actually glow.
It needs external light-source to emit fluorescent light. (It won't glow at all, if there's no UV-Violet light source!)
AFAIC, glowing requires internal sources.
Now if they had put in some luciferin+luciferase genes and add some ATP, that would be different.

Anyways, there's nothing new about it, there are a couple of species that have the green fluorescent protein engineered into their every cell.

@horse:
you can have my avatar, it really glows!! :wink:
 
That's not nearly as creepy as BioSteel. They gave a herd of goats some spider DNA and now the goats mass-produce spider silk in their milk. Apparently spider silk has some unusual qualities that make it valuable.

Still, spider-goats...

Indeed,

Stupid video, I got all exited for nothing :cry:
 
Well, I think only americans can clone a cat so that it glows in the dark. I think every other people in the world would just buy candles, lol :D
 
Some guys just won the nobel prize probably for this same gene modification. They took dna from bioluminescent organisms and made it into a kind of DNA marker for cells so that scientists could easily find what they're looking for just by looking for the glowing shit.

That's probably the worst synopsis of what actually happened ever. But here's a link: http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Three_Researchers_Win_Nobel_Prize_For_Bioluminescent_Cells_26243.html

I guess scientists must have also had a hard time finding their cats.
 
Hm, a ghoul cat... Nice addition for a Wasteland wanderer's collection.

Now they have to make that into some injectible solution, so we could make people glow. I've got my mind on someone already - induce near comatosis sleep, thrash up the place at night, inject the glow thing, shave completely bald, put some fake blood around, and drag in a dog corpse with bitemarks.

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit dark tonight.

Ja. Off the top of my head, I know they've already done that to

tobacco plants
rabbits

And probably more besides.

Making animals glow is no longer exciting.

They need to start engineering cat-people. I want my very own Bagi chick.
 
they already did it with pigs to assist medical research in some form. i forgot why the pig glowing helps them out but it does....
