Taiwan Breeds Transgenic, Fluorescent Green Pigs

ScentCone writes "Transgenic pigs (and other critters) are valuable research tools because of their utility in studying human diseases. Tracking changes in some developing tissues is going to be easier, say a Taiwanese team that has introduced fluorescent, green proteins into the breeding. Said one of the researchers: 'There are partially fluorescent green pigs elsewhere, but ours are the only ones in the world that are green from inside out. Even their hearts and internal organs are green.' Do you like green eggs and ham?"

ScentCone's URL wasn't linked, so the new system seems to be working. Yay!

I'm looking forward to the latest version of "taco bothers to show up" next week.

Good to see "the man" answering directly, that's what it's all about. Shit, I'd even watch G4 again if Rob pulls a Steve Jobs.
