Chinanews, Beijing, December 14 – China announced that the first cloned transgenic rabbit in the world had survived for more than three months. According to the identification result published in Shanghai, exogenous green fluorescent¹ protein has been found in the cells of the rabbit, which proves that it is a cloned transgenic rabbit.

The researchers of Shanghai Xinhua Hospital have spent a year to build transgenic rabbit cells and to clone a complete individual rabbit according to the modified genetic² information in such cells. The cloned baby rabbit was born on September 14, 2007. It will serve as a model for the cloning of rabbits.

The next goal of the researchers will be the combination of different exogenous genes³, and the transfiguration of functional⁴ genes.
