1. Fluorescent rats: The research team of Harvard University in the United Kingdom introduced the green fluorescent protein gene of jellyfish into the genome of the experimental mice, so that it appeared green fluorescence under the illumination of purple light. This green fluorescent gene is harmless to mice and only acts as a marker.
2, Spider Sheep: All of us have heard of Spider-Man, but have you heard of Spider-Goat? These genetically modified goats are unique in that they produce ordinary spider silk. The same substance that makes up spider webs is produced by their mammary glands.
3, anti-cancer mice: American researchers through a new technology, so that mice have the ability to resist a variety of cancers, and this scientific breakthrough will make cancer patients are expected to receive side-effects-free treatment.
4. Emerald sea cucumber: The emerald sea cucumber looks more like a leaf than a slimy gastropod mollusk, but it is the first species known to have transgenic phenomena in natural evolution.
5, fluorescent fish: In 2003, a company in the United States announced that after transgenic technology, they had developed a small tropical fish that could fluoresce - "fluorescent fish". This "radiant" red fluorescent fish is the first commercial fluorescent pet fish to obtain trademark registration using genetically modified technology. Genetically modified zebrafish emit pink fluorescence and look like goldfish from a distance.
6, genetically modified mosquitoes: The London research team has bred a genetically modified mosquito, in which the male has fluorescent testicles, which are easily identified and then sterile. Researchers say that a large number of such genetically modified mosquitoes can be released into the wild to mate with ordinary female mosquitoes, reducing the number of eggs laid by malaria mosquitoes, thereby slowly reducing the number of malaria mosquitoes.
7, super rat: a super mouse can run tirelessly for hours, live longer, have stronger reproductive ability, eat more without gaining weight... The genetically modified rats cultivated by American scientists have shocked the world and aroused people's reverie.
8, drug-producing chicks: British scientists successfully bred the world's first chicks that can lay "magic eggs". The eggs laid by this genetically modified chick can be used to make drugs to treat cancer and other diseases.
9, fearless mouse: Japanese scientists through the change of mouse genes, bred a mouse that is not afraid of cats. In the photographs the scientists showed, a brown mouse was less than an inch away from a cat, sniffing around the cat.
10, conducive to improving the environment of genetic pigs: transgenic pigs carrying bacterial genes can produce cleaner, less polluting green manure. These genes help pigs remove phosphate from their food, thereby helping to reduce agriculturally harmful waste generated in pig livestock.
