Glowing Monkeys, The Kind We Need In Zoos That Can Reproduce.

glowing-monkeysI saw this coming I mean there are already glowing dogs and cats and fish! It would only be natural for monkeys to be the next victum.

Though primates that make a glowing protein have been created before, these are the first to keep the change in their bloodlines.


Although the work demonstrates the principle that a gene can be introduced into a primate bloodline, study co-author Hideyuki Okano of the Keio University School of Medicine said it may not be suitable for studying all diseases.

That limitation is about 10,000 bases, or letters, of the genetic code. That upper bound will constrain the diseases that can be studied.
