A team of scientists led by Kong Il-keun have managed to clone three cats that glow in the dark.Kong Il-keun, and other cloning experts at the Gyeongsang National University produced the cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases.But one of the side-effect is the fact that the animals glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.The leading scientist, Kong said:

“This technology can be applied to clone animals suffering from the same diseases as humans,”"It will also help develop stemcell treatments,” he said, noting that cats have some 250 kinds of genetic diseases that affect humans, too.
