The genetic problems you're thinking of are likely located elsewhere on the genome - probably not even the same chromosome - they have nothing to do with GFP.

what picture are you looking at? I'm sure if they know enough to alter genomes, they know what species they're working with.

holy heck, people.
i guess you didnt watch the whole show that included this info directly from the first place to even sequence the rats genes.

i guess that uni. just lied about it
