Glowing mice

Some mice have been genetically modified to assist in the study of human diseases. One way of genetically modifying the mice is to do a pro nuclear injection into a single cell of a mouse embryo where it spreads. There are transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein. Which glows green under blue light.
