Let’s break it down word by word. Genetically refers to genes. Genes are made up of DNA, which is a set of instructions for how cells grow and develop. Second is Modified. This implies that some change or tweak has been made. Lastly, we have the word Organism. When it comes to GMOs, many people only think of crops. Yet an ‘organism’ isn’t just a plant; it refers to all living things, including bacteria and fungi."

There in fact isn't just one dog there are five that all glow just like Ruppy because they "produce a florescent protein that glows red under ultraviolet light." Also they live in South Korea. Their created purpose was to find a good model for a more accurate representation of human genes.

They then transferred the fibroblast’s nucleus to another dog’s egg cell, with its nucleus removed. After a few hours dividing in a Petri dish, researchers implanted the cloned embryo into a surrogate mother."

This could help find a cure to human diseases such as Parkinson's. There is also the benefit to the researchers the beagle dog's have a longer lifespan that for say mice and can provide a closer representation of humans.]]> 2020-11-20 16:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2599381/77oc1xb7he2g2v95/wish/946112484 2599381 https://padlet.com/2599381/77oc1xb7he2g2v95/wish/946196188 Kim, By Hyung-Jin. “Scientists Claim to Have Cloned Glowing Dogs.” NBCNews.com, NBCUniversal News Group, 29 Apr. 2009, www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna30463427.
