Scientists Create Fluorescent Pigs
Date: Friday, 13 January 2006 @ 17:33:16 GMT - Topic: General

Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three "glow in the dark"
pigs. While other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, these
are claimed to be the only pigs in the world which are green through and
through, reports the BBC:

The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from
jellyfish into a normal pig embryo. The researchers hope the pigs will
boost the island's stem cell research, as well as helping with the study
of human disease.

In daylight, the researchers say the pigs' eyes, teeth and trotters look
green. Their skin has a greenish tinge. In the dark, shine a blue light
on them and they glow torch-light bright. The scientists will use the
transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic
material is green, it is easy to spot.

Naturally, scientists need more fluorescent pigs before such tests can
begin, and the team hopes the three little pigs will mate and produce
glow-in-the-dark offspring. And, of course, they will have a nice
fundraising sideline in knocking out fluorescent bangers for the kids'
novelty food market.
