Biohacker Josie Zyner’s new company, Los Angeles Project, is creating a new generation of gene-edited pets. The team has used Crispr to add a gene to rabbit embryos so they produce green fluorescent protein, or GFP. Zayner says they’re aiming to transfer the engineered embryos to female rabbits this week. If all goes well, the company will have glowing baby bunnies in a month. (Rabbits have a gestation period of just 31 to 33 days.)
