Transgenic pig hooves with aqueous parent gene fluoresce

Japan's Shizuoka Prefecture Small and Medium Livestock Laboratory announced on the 21st that the experimental site and Beili University have successfully cloned genetically modified pigs containing the jellyfish gene. Irradiating UV-irradiated pigs with genetically modified clones that had just been born, the trotters and other parts of the animal were all fluoresced. According to the person in charge of the experimental site, the researchers first implanted jellyfish genes that can synthesize green fluorescent proteins in pig somatic cells, remove the nuclei and transplant them into the pig's unfertilized eggs to make embryos and then implant them in pigs. In the womb. On the 15th, a genetically modified clone sow was born. When irradiated with ultraviolet rays, its hooves, nose, and tongue emit fluorescence. The DNA analysis showed that the gilt contained the jellyfish gene, and the researchers confirmed that it was a genetically modified pig. The person concerned believes that in the future it is hoped that the gene encoding the synthetic interferon will replace the jellyfish gene to clone transgenic pigs containing synthetic drugs in the body. The experimental site is planning to cooperate with pharmaceutical research institutions to carry out such research.
