I am doing a group project on the GFP gene. Our basic focus is on the 
experiemnt conducted on mice. In this experiment the GFP gene was injected 
into a group if mice causing everything to glow except for their fur.  I was 
bascially wondering if the gene ever goes away or does it eventaully wear off?
