….coming soon to a pet store near you.

The so-called Night Pearls are likely the first genetically modified pets anyone will own.

HJ Tsai, a professor at National Taiwan University, created the Night Pearls as a way to make fish organs more visible when studying them under the microscope.

Tsai isolated a gene from naturally glowing jellyfish, extracted it, and inserted it into the DNA of zebrafish.

To Tsai's surprise, the jellyfish gene made zebrafish glow.
