Effect ngali nah siya sa tambal nga ipa-take sa iro... Experiment gyud siya...


Taga planet Pandora ngali nang iro-a...hehehehe...

off-topic: nka hinumdom nuon ko sa luminous fish ni Sheldon sa the big bang theory

on-topic: this is nice...wa lng koy mhunahunaan na good use ani as of now...hmmm...

nindot lang una to og mo glow cya without the UV Light. kana luminous jud bah.

kuyawa, pang myth buster.

@baden: This is not a myth, this is reality.

@cute_6423: Sa pagkakaron wala pa ni practical nga gamit para natong mga normal citizens.

The only purpose of the fluorescence is to act as a gene marker. It tells the scientist that the modified genes they inserted were transferred successfully.

The scientific community knows that there are several human diseases that are caused by defective genes. But the details of these genetic defects are still unknown.

To understand more about disease-related genes, scientists want to implant these genes into a healthy host and perform experiments to gain more undestanding and possibly, to find cure for human diseases that are genetic in nature.

So kaning maong glow-in-the-dark dog, sign ni siya nga pwede na maka-proceed ang mga scientists sa sunod nga phase sa ilang experiment. Kay successful man ang previous experiment.

wala nay mga disgrasya nga motor if ingon ani na ang mga iro. layo palang kita na nga naay iro kung gabii.

Actually, way back in 1986, scientists had created a plant, specifically a tobacco plant, that glows in the dark. They did this by crossing tobacco and firefly genes...or in technical terms, "outfitting a fragment of a plant virus with the gene that tells firefly cells to produce a protein central to generating light."

Click here to revisit that development.

But now, to do this on a dog...they've really pushed the envelope on genetic science.
