Ruppy is the name given to the world’s first transgenic female beagle dog carrying fluorescent genes that make the canine glow red. All four of these puppies are named Ruppy. Ruppy is the combination of the words, ruby and puppy.
These dogs look like any other beagles in the daylight. When the sun sets, they looks different. These amazing puppies glow red under ultraviolet light and their nails and abdomens, which have thin skins, look red even to the naked eye.
The team of scientists identified the dogs as clones of a cell donor through DNA tests and recorded their experiments on the website of the journal, Genesis. Fluorescent mice and pigs have been cloned before in Europe, Japan and the United States, but this marks the first time dogs with modified genes have been cloned successfully.
