RED FISH, BLUE FISH, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK FISH

Inventor: H.J. Tsai

Want to add some pizazz to your aquarium? A Taiwanese scientist has devised a way to make otherwise colorless fish glow neon green in the dark. Professor H.J. Tsai at National Taiwan University works this biological magic by injecting a protein extracted from jellyfish into the fertilized eggs of rice fish. He also uses a protein from coral to make fish glow a vibrant reddish pink. Opponents of genetic engineering fear that these creatures could crossbreed with wild species, creating glowing schools of Frankenfish. To keep them from spreading their shining DNA, the distributor, Taikong International, sterilizes them all.

TAIWAN A research team at Taiwan's leading National Taiwan University claims it has succeeded in breeding three male green pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs.

There are partially green pigs elsewhere in the world but the Taiwanese pigs are said to be the only ones that are green from inside out, including their hearts and internal organs.

The pigs are said to glow in the dark.

It is reportedly expected that they will be used in stem cell research and the study of several human diseases.
