In Uruguay, scientists have genetically modified sheep so that they can glow-in-the-dark!!

They only glow under ultraviolet light though, so unless you have a black light, you'll miss these goats' special ability.

Researchers at Uruguay's Animal Reproduction Institute partnered with the Pasteur Institute of Montevideo to create the first transgenic sheep in Latin America.

The future of rock and roll is looking bright!

In a recent interview, Kate Hudson talked about her relationship with fiance Matthew Bellamy and life with their two beautiful boys, and apparently at just 21 months little Bingham is already showing signs of taking after his rockstar daddy:

Wowza!

For the first time ever in the entire world - genetically modified humans were successfully created!

That shiz cray!

Apparently, thirty one hundred percent healthy babies were born after being experimented on.

Two of the babies' genes have been tested and are confirmed to have genes from three different parents - one father and two mothers.

Over the past three years at least fifteen of these babies have been born who have received these genetic experimentations.

They began as embryos in women who originally had trouble conceiving - extra genes were injected into these womens' eggs before they were fertilized in order for them to be conceived.

DNA tests confirm that two of the babies both have three inherent DNA traits from three different parents.

If any of these babies eventually have children they will also pass their genes to their offspring and so on and so forth.

The practice, which is the first of its kind in the history of the world, has caused extreme outrage and criticism among the majority of scientists in the world.

Geneticists do not want this method to eventually be used to create new races of humans with super natural strength or extremely high intelligence.

Obviously that would just be totally unfair.

Darwin could've never predicted this.

Who needs survival of the fittest when you got science like this??

Scientists also believe this kind of experiments may be the first step towards cloning humans which is just a bad science fiction movie waiting to happen.

Ha!

But… how can we know this??

Oh yeah, science!

According to science and scientists alike, tomatoes are getting tastier… and will be much more so in five years!

So how did they find this out?

According to a new study, your genes may be what determine if you like the taste of pork or not.

The study had people with variations of an odor receptor gene rate the taste and smell of several pork meat samples.

The receptor is sensitive to

Body weight may be partially determined by your genes, however, it has been proven time and time again that exercise can thwart any extra pounds your body was born to pack on.

The latest study proving the power of an active lifestyle comes from the Harvard School of Public Health. After tracking the habits and health of 12,000 men and women, scientists determined that walking for about an hour a day can reduce the weight-promoting effect of certain genes by

Don't use this as an excuse to avoid using condoms, but scientists have found 1% of the population is naturally resistant to HIV and other deadly diseases like malaria, leprosy and hepatitis.

How's that for a genetic mutation? Professor X would be so proud! Ha!

The discovery came after researchers studying anthrax susceptibility found it is actually an inherited genetic trait.
