Submission + - Genetically Modification produces Super Mouse (bbc.co.uk) 1
Identity Missing writes: An Ohio laboratory has produced genetically modified mice which "can run five to six kilometres at a speed of 20 meters per minute on a treadmill, for up to six hours before stopping," as well as a number of other remarkable feats. An enzyme called phosphoenolypyruvate carboxykinases (PEPCK-C) is apparently responsible, and we should hope that the scientists are correct in saying that athletes won't be modifying their genes any time soon to get it, because it apparently makes the mice more aggressive. If anyone feels a super villain coming on, at least we can rely on these Mighty Mice. A video demonstrates just how much these little guys beat the competition.
