We have seen beautiful handicrafts of gold. But can you imagine a real living creature with sparkling gold on the body? Bizarre as it might sound but this is exactly what scientists at Vietnam’s National University’s College of Science have done. They have produced genetically modified seahorses with golden stripes on the body.
The scientists combined light emitting genes of jellyfish with grains of gold and injected the combination into the seahorse egg cells. The outcome was seahorses with sparkling gold on the body.
This is a great achievement in the world of luxury. Now aquariums will flaunt gold seahorses - a new designer item. Soon other creatures will be genetically modified to incorporate gold in their bodies and we will have golden pets and who knows if the craze of designer babies picks up we will have humans born with gold on the body - requirements for gold jewelries might cease after all.
