Glow-in-the-dark cats …shed light... on AIDS research

A team of scientists genetically modified cats resulting in felines that glow in the dark.

Researches inserted a feline AIDS resistant gene. So the cats with the AIDS resistant trait could be more easily identified, they also inserted the gene for the fluorescent effect. Both genes were injected into feline eggs.

From the BBC to HuffPo, this story has gone viral.
