Mr. Green Genes
Current Mood:
Energetic
Mr. Green Genes lives in New Orleans and he’s the country’s first glow in the dark ginger tom cat.
The six-month-old cat was created by scientists who are trying to combat a range of diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
They modified his DNA to see if a gene could be introduced harmlessly into an animal’s genetic sequence.
To track where the gene went, they decided to use one that glowed under ultraviolet light.
He looks totally normal in natural light and glows when in a dark room with an ultraviolet light. My cats sadly do not glow in the dark.
