Monkey Genes

This composite photo, provided by Nature magazine, shows newborn transgenic marmoset Kei, left, and Kou. Insets show their feet under ultraviolet light. Under UV light the skin on the soles of the feet glow green. Scientists have shown that a gene they slipped into a monkey was transmitted to the offspring, a step experts called a milestone for creating animals with versions of human diseases for study. The transgenic marmoset are part of the Targeted Basic Research Program of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and of the Strategic Research Program for Brain Sciences of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a group headed by Erika Sasaki, Laboratory Head of the Central Institute of Experimental Animals, and Professor Hideyuki Okano of the Keio University School of Medicine .
