Photographs of cats genetically engineered by South Korean scientists to glow red when exposed to UV light made headlines around the world. What most news stories didn't mention was the scientific potential for fluorescent creatures: The animals' glow acts as a "green light" that lets scientists know that their genetic transformations of other, non-glowing genes have worked.
Above: A special filter in a dark room shows a cat (left) with a red fluorescent protein that makes it glow when exposed to ultraviolet rays, next to a normal cloned cat (right) at Gyeongsang National University in Jinju, South Korea.
Below: In normal light, a normal cloned cat (left) stands next to two cats which have been cloned to glow red, but only in ultraviolet.

Die Katzen schafften es jedoch nur auf Rang 7 der "Top 10 New Organisms of 2007". http://www.wired.com/science/discoverie ... _organisms#
Interessant sind auch die Super-Bäume oder die schizophrenen Mäuse...
Bald Katzen als Deko?
