A glowing bunny sounds like a creature from Jefferson Airplane’s psychedelic-laced song, “White Rabbit,” but real fluorescent rabbits were recently born at the University of Istanbul, Turkey.公仔箱論壇# r- F( o9 w0 @+ _) _) N
Rabbits join a growing list of fluorescent fur-bearers. Genetic engineers have created glowing dogs, cats, pigs and mice by inserting a gene from a jellyfish into the mammals’ DNA. The jellyfish gene codes for a protein that emits light when exposed to ultraviolet light. 0 p# _+ H5 T$ o; ^& wTVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。The jellyfish gene adds an obvious physical change to an engineered animal. This allows scientists to know that genetic material successfully transferred into a new organism. 1 K7 s( ~+ F o# i- x, |0 `9 Q4 aos.tvboxnow.comFor example, when Mayo Clinic researchers genetically engineered cats to carry a protein that defends the animals from infection by the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV, the cat version of HIV), the scientists added the fluorescent gene along with the FIV-resistance gene. That way they knew that any cat that fluoresced also carried protein protection against FIV, a trait that would otherwise be invisible. 3 g9 ?1 L. |$ p6 t- m6 N& ]os.tvboxnow.com( By Tim Wall Published August 15, 2013 Discovery News ) $ E* b/ z% D2 I5 Q% Q8 _/ w 9 x# E7 [9 i: A9 I- s, C: }.
