experiments for kids Scientists gave these mice green feet - here's why

British scientists are testing cutting edge gene editing techniques in mice, by inserting a jelly fish gene that makes their skin green.

The research uses CRISPR-Cas9, a gene editing tool that works like a pair of 'molecular scissors', cutting out and replacing specific parts of a cell's DNA.

It's hoped the technology could one day be used for gene editing in humans. In 2016 scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine used it to repair the gene that causes sickle cell disease in stem cells of diseased patients. This could herald a cure for the disease which affects up to 5 million people around the world.
