Wait. Does the article say that thing prevents cats from getting AIDS?

So in the future, this might end up as a trait of the human race, if this works!

Glowing in the dark is just a cool trait to show that the transfection worked.

I've done that a fair few times with bacteria and mammalian cells, never with a full animal, yet!

There are a lot of other examples around too, such as rats and pigs too

Aww yeah. Those cats will be the hit of the rave scene.
