Cloned cats glow in the dark?


South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases, officials said Wednesday. In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams. "It marked the first time in the world that cats with RFP genes have been cloned," the ministry said in a statement.
