Korean dog cloning She Can Burning

Scientists in South Korea claim to have successfully cloned four dogs of beagle. Uniquely, the fourth body can burn the dog.

His body just will glow red when exposed to ultraviolet light. Especially the part that glowed in the nail and body parts such as thin-skinned belly.

Professor Lee Byeoung-chun of Seoul National University who led the cloning research was referred to him as a dog in the world's first transgenic carrying fluorescent gene. Previously, researchers had the U.S. and China can do it in mice and pigs.

"Important achievement in this research not only the red color, but our successful gene planted in his body," said Lee. Gene insertion techniques that can make the luminous body is usually used to detect cancer cells in order to develop therapies.

Lee led the team with the parent dogs skin cells to produce cloned dogs is four. The researchers inserted a fluorescent gene before intil cells injected into the empty egg cell and put into foster a dog uterus.

Cloning dogs are born in December 2007. Initially there are 6 dogs a successful cloning born safely, but two of them did not survive. Another four healthy Ruppy named, short for ruby and the puppy.
