Green glowing piglets - transgenic pigs bred a group of researchers from the National Taiwan University, led by Professor U-Shin Ji. On the results of the experiment, it was announced in January 2006.

These pigs were bred by introducing into the DNA chain embryonic green fluorescent protein gene borrowed from a fluorescent jellyfish. Then, embryo was implanted into the uterus of a female pig. The pigs glow green in the dark and have a greenish tinge to the skin and eyes in daylight. "The fluorescent green pigs already existed - We recognize Shin Ji-- but pigs bred until now there was only a partial fluorescence. Animals obtained by us - the world's pigs, which even the heart and internal organs are green ».

The main purpose of elimination of pigs, according to the researchers - the possibility of visual observation of the development of tissues when stem cell transplantation.
