science: Scientists at Seoul National University have created a glow-in-the-dark transgenic dog. The puppy and its siblings produce a fluorescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light, created “by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones.” I don’t know. People get all freaked out about it, but I’m all for cloning—or at least all for testing the waters, so to speak. Any process that produces glowing puppies can’t be all that bad.
