Few days before researchers from Seoul national university created astounding dog named "Tegon" that can glow in fluorescent green under ultraviolet rays. Seriously, Tegon was cloned and genetically modified so that it light up when you put it in UV.This is another milestone in Biotechnology through Genetic engineering.
The scientists first inserted a DNA fragment that controls the expression of a green fluorescent gene into dog cells. They next extracted DNA from a dog oocyte (an immature female reproductive cell prior to fertilization) and injected the fluorescent-modified dog cells into it. The third step was to use a process known as Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer to generate an embryo. The resulting embryo was then transferred into a surrogate dog mother. After 60 days of pregnancy, she gave birth to Tegon. When given a doxycycline antibiotic, the female beagle literally glows under UV light.
There are 268 illness that is common for humans and dogs and scientist claim creating dogs that artificially show such symptoms could aid treatment methods for diseases that afflict humans. They have spent 3.2 billion won(three million dollors) and four years of research to create such a dog.
Splendid work from Scientist. congrasulations. But do not let your research cross nature laws and ethics how much ever benefit it may bring to humans.
Now you all start saving money so that in future when Tegon like dogs comes to market and your child pest you to get it for them, you should be able to manage
