World's First Genetically Modified Primate Born
384217 01: The world's first genetically modified primate, a baby rhesus monkey named ANDi, for "inserted DNA" spelled backward, is seen here in a photo from the Oregon Regional Primate Research Center at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, OR. Scientists at the center announced ANDi's birth January 11, 2001 in the journal "Science." The monkey, born in October 2000, carries an extra gene called GFP for green fluorescent protein. The gene is taken from jellyfish and is used as a "marker" gene because it glows green when looked at under a special microscope. (Photo by Oregon Regional Primate Research Center/Newsmakers)
