SCIENTISTS USE JELLYFISH DNA TO BREED RARE GLOW-IN-THE-DARK BUNNIES!!!

By injecting jellyfish DNA into rabbit embryos, a team of scientists based out of Hawaii and Istanbul were recently able to breed glow-in-the-dark bunnies. The project was meant to demonstrate the effectiveness of a genetic manipulation technique (which it succeeded in doing) that may eventually lead to new ways of creating medicine.

By injecting jellyfish DNA into rabbit embryos, a team of scientists based out of Hawaii and Istanbul were recently able to breed glow-in-the-dark bunnies. The project was meant to demonstrate the effectiveness of a genetic manipulation technique (which it succeeded in doing) that may eventually lead to new ways of creating medicine. The scientists say the glow-in-the-dark bunnies will enjoy the same life-span as their non-glowing brothers and sisters. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
