Move Over Dolly, Here Are The GLOWIES! Scientists Create Glow-In-The-Dark Sheep… Because They Can
Posted in: Today's Chili
Dolly, the first animal cloned from adult animal stem cells, is no
longer alive to see the latest bovine specimens of human intervention…
nine glow-in-the-dark lambs born to a ewe whose DNA received a shot of
green florescent protein (GFP), the gene found in Aequorea victory jellyfish.
Despite the undeniably great scientific breakthrough these lambs have
accomplished, they, unlike Dolly, will probably not achieve her fame,
for these bioluminescent sheep are being numbered one through nine,
rather than named.
