Taiwan breeds green-glowing pigs
Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred
three pigs that "glow in the dark".
They claim that while other researchers
have bred partly fluorescent pigs,
theirs are the only pigs in the world
which are green through and through.
The pigs are transgenic, created by
adding genetic material from jellyfish
into a normal pig embryo.
The researchers hope the pigs will
boost the island's stem cell research,
as well as helping with the study of
human disease.
