Genetically Modified Beagle Glows


Mario R. -- Tegon ,a female beagle puppy that's genetically motified, glows to help scintist track diseases and is the thrid animal to be motified next to a puppy named Ruby and a cat named Mr. Green Genes. Tegon, Ruby, and Mr. Green Genes can be seen glowing in UV lights and gogles. ByeongChun Lee is the doctor that modifed Tegon in Korea. Lee sayes that him and his team being able to see the beagle glow, allows them to see how diseases develope in a body.
     Lee also sayes that dogs are better research because they respond to comandes better than mice. Chemyong Jay Ko a scintist that modifed Mr. Green Genes say  dog hve been use in metcal use in the past. Ko sayes cats and dogs are also better to research and that glowing animals might be a new pet trend in the future.
     This article is interrasting to me because has to do with glowing cats and dogs and its ment to help the study of diseases and how they form. At first i thought what a glowing dog? Then reading on that they modified not one but two dogs and a cat to see how disease form in a body. Think about it, to see how a disease forms and maybe a way to stop it from growing just from a slight differents in the body. And that dogs could be better tester than rats. But mostly about the scintists can put a gene in an organisms DNA that makes them glow and for them to study how a disease poduces. Also that this might be a new pet trend in the future.
