SKoreans clone cats that glow in the dark

Okay, I'm now officially a bit creeped out. Though wouldn't it be cool to glow? (And actually, the news here is that the glowing cats were cloned, not that they were made to glow - that's old news, though still creepy, or cool, I'm so confused.)

More from AFP:

South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases, officials said Wednesday.

In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.

A team of scientists led by Kong Il-keun, a cloning expert at Gyeongsang National University, produced three cats possessing altered fluorescence protein (RFP) genes, the Ministry of Science and Technology said.
