As part of an effort to improve treatments for life-threatening illnesses, a team of scientists have created rabbits that glow in the dark.
The efforts have produced two rabbits out of a litter(一窝)of eight that went from being a normal, soft white to glowing green in the dark. The rabbits were born at the University of Istanbul as part of the cooperation between scientists from universities in Turkey and Hawaii.
The rabbits glow to show that a genetic operation technique can work efficiently. “The green is not important at all—it’s just a marker to show the experiment can be done successfully,” said University of Hawaii associate professor, Stefan Moisyadi.
To produce the glowing effect, researchers injected jellyfish DNA into a mother rabbit’s embryos. Then those embryos were put into the mother. Similar experiments have resulted in glowing cockroaches(蟑螂) and cats.
Eventually, the researchers hope the technique can lead to new ways to produce medicines. Moisyadi said, “The final goal is to develop animals that are able to produce beneficial molecules in their milk that can be cheaply extracted(提取), especially in countries that cannot afford big factories that make drugs, which usually cost US$1bn to build. Then they will be able to produce their own protein-based medication in animals,”
