You can eat breakfast in the dark just as long as you're having bacon, ham, or pork sausage.

The scientists will use the transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic material is green, it is easy to spot.
So if, for instance, some of its stem cells are injected into another animal, scientists can track how they develop without the need for a biopsy or invasive test.

Well, according to the article...
"The scientists will use the transgenic pigs to study human disease. Because the pig's genetic material is green, it is easy to spot.
