Rabbit glows green

Scientists have created rabbits that can emit green light in the dark with cloning technology.

Scientists based in Hawaii and Turkey used a cloning method, creating a batch of 8 rabbits, of which two emitted green light.

Dr. Stefan Moisyadi, a biological researcher, said the two rabbits glowed like the light of LEDs. Strong light spreads across the rabbit's fur. Fluorescent color is used as genetic material to inject into animal embryos.

According to Dr. Stefan Moisyadi, fluorescent proteins will not affect the lifespan of rabbits, and they still live like other normal rabbits. Blue is just more special.

In order for the rabbit to glow, the team injected the fluorescent protein from the jellyfish's DNA into eight embryos of the rabbit. The embryos are then transplanted into the rabbit, and as a result, two out of eight born rabbits are able to glow in the dark when illuminated with a lamp.

Next time, experts will put genes into larger animals to create less expensive and effective drugs when used. In the past, some scientists have succeeded in converting animal genes to glow in the dark in black cats, dogs and monkeys.

According to experts, the technology applies to patients who often bleed and create enzymes to help blood clots. This can save more costs than normal methods. In the future, this technology will continue to be studied in an effort to accelerate the application to practical treatment for life-threatening patients.
