Feliz Cumpleaños Dany!
y que mejor para celebrarlo que con una nota de animales geneticamente alterados:
Fishy Business
The world's first commercially available transgenic florescent fish are on sale in pet shops in Asia, and they'll be available in U.S. stores soon. The DNA of the green-glowing zebra fish, which look like escapees from a nuclear accident, has been genetically engineered with jellyfish DNA. Taikong Corp. spent $2.9 million developing the sterile fish, which cost $17.40 each. In April, the company turned out 10,000 fluorescent fish, and says monthly production should stabilize at more than 100,000. Maria Hung, who sells the glowing fish at her store in Taipei, says it must be very dark to see the fish. "I haven't found a single buyer," Hung said.
