How bout making me a glow in the dark goldfish?
Fish nightlights. It's a billion dollar idea. shhhhhhh

Whatever next? The Mind Boggles at Man's Ingenuity with Animals and ITs Ability to Shape Humanised Perception.
"The scientist did, though, remain tight-lipped on exact details of the research, saying it was still "under way"." ..... QuITe so. One doesn't want to be unduly Alarming the Natives.

I need hard evidence of these Red nailed glowing devil dogs

All we need now is glow-in-the-dark fermented cabbage.

Already been done. http://www.glofish.com/
Not allowed for export, alas.

with your pooch, you won't need flashlights! Brilliant!
Where is my camping gear? Go, Sparky, fetch! Good boy!

Does their poo glow in the dark as well? Handy as it will stop you walking in it at night.
I for one welcome our new fluorescent overlords

Here's the recipe for your own,

According to PNAS 2002, their glowing powers come from Discosoma, which according to reefpedia are "bulletproof".

said the other scientist. So what? Or does "clone" now mean anything which has been messed about with genetically, like in bad movies, rather than several individuals with identical genes.

The only question is why do the Asian scientists insist on making things glow in the dark? Not enough daylight over there?
What about something useful like a chicken with 4 legs ( good for KFC! ) or deaf goldfish ( they invariably croak after the bang if you have a slight electrical problem that results in you getting free electro-shock treatment! )?
What about chocolate bar trees? Lager streams? PC O/S that actually works? ( Sorry some things are just way to advanced for the foreseeable future! )

Option 1:
Injected fluorescent genes (from an unspecified source)
Option 2:
Hot Curry

Isn't it curious how us humans keep opening one pandora's box after another?

...how long before they engineer dog that tastes of chicken? Or lamb, yum!

All you need is a bowl of Ready Brek.
PS Something surreal happened - I think I understood amanfromMars's comment. Well part of at least, I wouldn't want to exaggerate.

In a month or so the Mediterranean resorts will be full of British volunteers glowing bright red after subjection to ultraviolet.

More showboating from the Korean biotech business as usual. I guess the funding must be running out. Oh, and "genuine clones" are involved once again. Tick all those media boxes, boffins!

Come on, fluorescent under ultra violet light is not the same as glow-in-the-dark. I want a proper glow-in-the-dark puppy that doesn't need an external light source.
Posted Thursday 30th April 2009 14:47 GMT
Just think of all the energy Korea will save by not needing to have a little light inside the fridge come on when you sneak down at night for a snack.
Paris, nice puppies...

AC,
It is much more to do with the Virtual Semiconductor and Quantum Communications Processing Industry and the Far East have a Practical Priceless Monopoly on ITs Secure Open Source Networking Potential. But then they always have been More Highly SupraNaturally Attuned to Lucrative Captivating Market Adventures.

"What about something useful like a chicken with 4 legs"
I met a scientist who claimed he had developed a 4-legged chicken. "Fantastic! What do they taste like?" I asked. "I dunno," he replied, "We've never been able to catch one!"
"Koreans cook up glow-in-the-dark beagles" Now they will have to release a new edition of the world-famous Korean cookbook, "101 Ways to Wok your Dog."

Mother Jones sez "sea anemones". Didn't anyone think of googling "ruppy" before posting this "news"?
Posted Thursday 30th April 2009 19:53 GMT
sadly those don't glow in the dark :( I have about 20 currently. Now if you combo them with a blue LED in the dark they seem to glow but they do not glow in the dark themselves.
Posted Thursday 30th April 2009 19:53 GMT
I don't trust the South Koreans when it comes to the integrity of their scientific research, especially when anyone mentions the word clone.
Maybe the dogs were just soaked in a fluorescent dye. Maybe they just learned to use an exciting new Photoshop filter.
*yawn* wake me when they do something useful, peer reviewed AND with the results replicated by a respectable third party.

If there ever was a purpose for science, glow-in-the-dark dogs is what it's all about. I've been saving my pennies for one of these ever since the first green pig was previewed on The Reg.
I said it then and I'll say it now, fuck medical science, this beats owning the largest flat panel TV every made and a flying car.
Get the party going, turn out the lights and release the glowing puppies.
Posted Thursday 30th April 2009 21:23 GMT
When I read the title I thought it meant that Korans cooked a dog. LOL. Is this title totally prejudice or what!? Hahah. WTF?!

flourescent lights give me headaches ;)
Posted Friday 1st May 2009 11:06 GMT
they'd announced beforehand just exactly which parts of the dog would glow, and then proceed to make it happen. But just having some areas glowing doesn't seem very precise. Can't they control the glow areas a little bit better?

"I've been saving my pennies for one of these ever since the first green pig was previewed on The Reg."
First green pig? I don't think so. Don't recall the article but I'm sure that Green Eggs And Ham is a hell of a lot older than The Reg.

so this might be a breakthrough! Then again, I seem to remember some kind of breakthrough from an US-sponsored south-korean lab* about cloning... never mind.
*pleonasm I know. Kind of like saying "US-sponsored Israeli [anything]". Amazing how the US taxmoney is spent...
If we pray hard enough. these mutts might save us from the mexican-swine-flu-from-hell... which was sent by all these oil-rich TERRORIST MUSLIM ARAB COUNTRIES to destroy civilisation surely. We should invade them all and suck their oil, shurely... this swine-bird-earthworm-flu must be a weapon of mass destruction...
