Glowing pig passes genes to piglets:

The piglets’ mother was one of three pigs born with the trait in December 2006 after pig embryos were injected with fluorescent green protein. Two of the 11 piglets glow fluorescent green from their snout, trotters, and tongue under ultraviolet light, the university said.

As I mentioned back in December 2006, the end goal is not glowing pigs; it’s organ transplants from transgenic pigs.
