Sheep that glow - maybe they can create phosphorescent human beings and we will not need electric lamps any more http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/1112832841/glow-in-the- dark-sheep-altered-with-jellyfish-protein-042913/ A team of scientists from Uruguay have genetically modified a flock of nine young sheep, causing the lambs to glow in the dark whenever they are exposed to ultraviolet light. According to Slashgear’s Brian Sin, the scientists altered the creatures using the fluorescent protein from an Aequorea jellyfish. The sheep, which were born last October at the Animal Reproduction Institute of Uruguay, give off a glowing green color when exposed to some types of UV rays but are said to be developing normally.
