Do they glow in the dark? If not, some firefly DNA and, well, the possibilities are endless. Tritium sights, glow in the dark hogs. Hunters slipping ghost like through the eerie night, too bad Hemingway isn't around to make it all into a novel.

I don't know about that particular research, but you typically splice in the phosphorescent gene so that it is attached to a gene you're interested in, or will be bonded to a protein, etc, you're interested in. That way, when the gene, or protein is activated, the part of the cell that's active will glow -- and be picked up by photographic film -- beats the heck out of the old way of having to use radioactive substrates -- probably trying to find out where in the pig's body a certain chemical product is made -- disect it, and photograph cross-sections of the organs, and the glowing should be concentrated wherever the desired compound is.

Packy, next time I shoot one that glows in the dark I'll check.

Hope you had a good Christmas
