The fact that they added insect dna to plant dna, was more amazing imo hehe.. but interesting study though

[tonyrosam]

yay i want to play god too and make some cool plants!

[theangelleshow]

ohhh that's so pretty

[Kenabis82]

Next we'll have glowing sheep..

[TTDeath]

We do. Ok, maybe only cats and mice.

[hamsterhill]

wow... thats awsome... i want some of those plants.

[WoWaddict3d]

Holy shit that's cool

This explains why my marijuana had a growth spurt during the power outage over the weekend. Topical! Thank you.

[ssnatcherss]

Haha! Who says science can't be enjoyable... ;)

[neonchez]

now if only you could figure out how make the plants think it was "just before dawn" all the time.

[thien0995]

lol

[Richona]

if you can do that with dna, ie make something glow when something grows or a certain gene is produced.... then what else can you do?

[chaz76vette]

they were able to insert genes like that into cloned cats in south korea that causes parts of their skin to glow in the dark.

[CurryCurry]

its a pretty common method in genetical research to attach the code of a luminescent protein to the code of a know or unknown protein to see what that protein does or where in the cell or body it is expressed.

check the 50year cell division puzzle vid from newscientist for another use of this method.

what other method there is, is to attach a substratetriggerable inhibitor to the gene and then add or remove that substrate in order to see how the cell does with and without that protein.

[theangelleshow]

yeah it's cool I sort of get it but what the fuck how do you see that shit cause everythings all tiny and I don't get... attaching codes cause all I see is like.. a little plant, you know? Maybe that's what I get for never taking chemistry or something.
