archenemy Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Taiwan is not claiming a world first. Others have bred partially fluorescent pigs before. But the researchers insist the three pigs they have produced are better. Â Better for what? Good thing they aren't wasting time with crazy shit like stem cell stuff, organ transplant compatibility, better bacon, whatever. Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Not a waste of time. It proves a concept. Once you can reproducibly introduce one gene (and more importantly, express it) you can introduce any other gene you want. Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Gotta love the Green Fluorescent Protein. Quote

catbirdseat Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Sometimes two genes are inserted at the same time. One gene produces some desired product or characteristic. The other is there just to demonstrate that the other one also must be there. Care to elaborate Pax? Quote
Gary_Yngve Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The Incredible Hulk's green is from GFP. See, jellyfish are useful for something! Now if the darn republicans would just see that we're losing scientific advances by extinguishing species... Quote

Dechristo Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 jellyfish are edible. BTW: Republicans are not.  Pork is edible regardless of color... or political persuasion. Quote

Selectable markers? i.e. toxin-resistance genes to simplify identification of transgenic clones? If so, yes that is a very common practice. Â I'm feeling pretty all of the sudden. Â Gotta go. Â Quote
olyclimber Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 baby come back! you can blame it all on me. I was wrong, and I just can't live without you. Quote
