Solution To The Swine Flu? GLOWING PUPPIES!!!

All this Swine Flu talk is getting people paranoid and stressed. I have the solution, GLOWING PUPPIES. Apparently this pup glows red when put under UV lighting. Not only is it super cute, but it can help researchers better understand diseases.

“A team led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea created the dogs by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones.

Greg Barsh, a geneticist at Stanford University who studies dogs as models of human disease, says creating a transgenic dog is “an important accomplishment”, showing that cloning and transgenesis can be applied to a wide range of mammals.

“I do not know of specific situations where the ability to produce transgenic dogs represents an immediate experimental opportunity,” Barsh adds. But transgenic dogs will give researchers another potential tool to understand disease.”

So hurry up South Korea and clone more glowing puppies so we can understand the Swine Flu and save the world… and so I can adopt maybe 3 of them.
