The internal organs being transparent from outside, Professors Masayuki Sumita of the Hiroshima large amphibian research facility succeeded in being born the transparent frog which is visible.
You do not dissect and live and because state of the internal organs and the blood vessel can be observed to the cartridge, you may be useful to the research and cure development of the various sicknesses. The transparent creature is an example with the Pisces and the like, but you say that with four foot animal quite it is unusual.
On the 22nd, it announces at the Japanese animal academic society which is in the midst of holding in Aomori prefecture Hirosaki city.
According to Professor Sumita, with ニホンアカガエル which inhabits widely on the country, mutation of the gene where body color becomes thin had been found so far 2 types. The professors hybridized the frog which has mutation, made the frog which two it has the mutation gene. Furthermore the individual where the skin is transparent the result of hybridizing this frog, via life from the tadpole to the adult was born.
Connecting the gene of the fluorescent protein to the gene of specification, if it installed in transparent moth l, when the gene of problem worked, you say that it is possible the frog where the body shines in real time to have and to come.
Professor Sumita says "if transparent moth l is used, at cost it can make observation such as occurring and advancing of the cancer, growing and aging of the internal organs and influencing to the internal organs of the chemical substance low simple, utilization value is large as a laboratory animal".
