Glow in the dark rabbit

HISTORY
1. Alba was the name of a genetically modified "glowing" rabbit created as an artistic work by contemporary artist Eduardo Kac, produced in collaboration with French geneticist Louis-Marie Houdebine.
  1. Alba's lifespan is an open question. In 2002, a US reporter called INRA (France), where Houdebine works, and was told that Alba had died.
PROCEDURE
1. The Rabbit Zygote with the Recombinant DNA is reimplanted into the mother who gives birth to transgenic offspring.
2. 1.Obtain a somatic cell from an organism and identify the desired gene.
3. 2.Isolate the desired gene by cutting it out using Restriction Endonuclease enzymes.
4. 3.Obtain fertilized Oocyte of Rabbit and cut DNA using the same Restriction Endonuclease Enzyme.
5. 4. The desired DNA is annealed to the Rabbit Zygote DNA using DNA ligase Enzyme. The result is a Recombinant DNA.
ADVANTAGE
1. The rabbits are part of a genetic manipulation experiment, one that the researchers hope will shed some light on hereditary diseases and hopefully lead the way to producing drugs to help cure them.
