there's this naturally occurring gene in jellyfish (GFP) that scientists are completely mad over. the best thing about it is that you can attach this protein to other proteins as a sort of fluorescent marker and then it's really easy to track the protein as it is modified in vivo and learn more about genetic processes without having to be very invasive. i got to create some cool fluorescent bacteria using this process in my genetics lab course.

national geographic has an image gallery of naturally and genetically engineered glowing critters with explanations for each experiment:
