Glowing Pig Passes Genes to Piglets

DanyC submitted, created time 10 months 1 week (news.nationalgeographic.com)

A cloned pig whose genes were altered to make it glow fluorescent green has passed on the trait to its young, a development that could lead to the future breeding of pigs for human transplant organs, a Chinese university reported.
Besides,Tokyo's Meiji University last year successfully cloned a transgenic pig that carries the genes for human diabetes, while South Korean scientists cloned cats that glow red when exposed to ultraviolet rays—an achievement they said could help develop cures for human genetic diseases

Solution for NYC Bodega rodent problem

Darkfrog submitted, created time 10 months 4 weeks (www.nytimes.com)

The problem: The bodega owners will be fined for keeping cats in the stores, but a live cat is a thousand time more effective against rodents than traps and exterminators are.

Remember all those articles about pheromones? (http://www.discover8.com/article/Parasites_ingenious_tricks_are_protozoans_making_you_more_daring__0)

The solution: MAKE AN ANTI-RAT SPRAY THAT SMELLS LIKE CAT PEE.

Cats Genome Help Understanding Human Genome And Diseases

biosunny submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.efluxmedia.com)

An Abyssinian cat, called Cinnamon, will be the object of a 3 million pounds project in order to have its genome mapped. Next year, when the details of the cat’s genome will be revealed in full, Cinnamon will represent her species, Felis catus, as their genetic model. The cat genomes and humans are very similar. A cat genome is thought to contain 20,285 genes and the human genome is believed to hold between 20,000 and 25,000 genes.

Cat genome sequenced ...sort of

Hecate submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.nature.com)

The opossum can move over; 60% of the cat genome has been sequenced. Although the project is incomplete, there are enough genes available for some kinds of studies. Seems a bit anticlimactic to me.
