How would you like to have a phosphorescent kitty? These kitties were created by the Mayo Clinic by injecting a genetically engineered protein that prevents them from contracting feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), the kitty version of HIV. The protein contains jellyfish, which makes the kitties glow in the dark.
The researchers did not intend to make the kitties glow in the dark, but rather prevent them from being able to contract FIV.
Very cool research!
