Genetically altered cat with a jellyfish protein, glowing green.

And why are they green? Because they are carrying a primate gene (along with a green fluorescent marker) called TRIM5alpha that scientists hope will make them immune from the virus FIV. If this works, it could have implications for one of FIV’s relatives … HIV.
