What animals DNA was used to make a glowing monkey in 2000?

...but if you are referring to the rhesus monkey "ANDi" he does not glow. But the two other monkeys who got the gene did exhibit florescence. Their hair and fingernails glowed green when exposed to ultraviolet light under a microscope.

Good answer and thanks alot!

There are two very special rhesus monkey infants roaming about the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center. These infants, which are short-tailed monkeys native to southeast Asia (genus Macaca), were born at the UW-Madison facility and are the first genetically modified monkeys to be born with functional transgenic organs.2 The monkeys have placentas that contain a gene from a jellyfish. This gene, which causes cells to have a green glow, was transferred into the genome of a rhesus embryo and placed into a surrogate mother.

The purpose of producing these hybrid monkeys is to develop a better understanding of genetic diseases in humans. The monkeys are used as models in determining which genes can cause or cure diseases.3 The jellyfish gene was chosen because it creates a protein that glows green and enables scientists to confirm whether or not the gene is active within the host cell. - Wisconsin Engineer, UW-Madison
