A cat shining in the dark is a cat 6 months old who is undergoing experiments for the treatment of hereditary diseases. In a study on whether genes can be incorporated safely, it seems that we were investigating where in the place the fluorescence gene was incorporated and where the characteristics would come out.

It is such a feeling when it is a bright place.


According to Betsy Dresser, an endangered species research institute in New Orleans who is conducting the experiment, the gene that has been incorporated does not adversely affect the health of cats. The cat's genetic structure seems to be suitable for research because it resembles human beings, so the final goal of the project isCystic fibrosisIt seems that we will develop a gene to counteract it.
