1 day ago · Two commonly discussed types of human cloning are therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning . Therapeutic cloning would involve cloning cells from a human for use in medicine and transplants. It is an active area of research, and is in medical practice in the world.
5 days ago · Dolly the sheep was successfully cloned in 1996 by fusing the nucleus from a mammary-gland cell of a Finn Dorset ewe into an enucleated egg cell taken from a Scottish Blackface ewe. Carried to term in the womb of another Scottish Blackface ewe, Dolly was a genetic copy of the Finn Dorset ewe.

3 days ago · The story of Dolly, the first ever mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, is incredible. Let’s figure out how these scientists achieved this feat. The journey to Dolly's creation began with the exploration of somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), which is the transferal the nucleus of a donor cell into an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed. The goal was to see if an adult somatic ...
5 days ago · Ian Wilmut (born July 7, 1944, Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire, England—died September 10, 2023) was a British developmental biologist who was the first to use nuclear transfer of differentiated adult cells to generate a mammalian clone, a Finn Dorset sheep named Dolly, born in 1996.

4 days ago · In this approach, the large cloned inserts are further fragmented by physical or enzymatic means and subcloned into another vector; the smaller cloned fragments are then sequenced. These sequences are reassembled thereafter based on sequence overlaps (termed contiguous or “contigs”) using bioinformatics programs to ultimately obtain the original long sequence ( Figure 8 ).
3 days ago · Chinese scientists have cloned three "super cows" able to produce 18 metric tons of milk per year and over 100 tons of milk in their lifetimes, a feat that may help reduce China's dependency on imported dairy cows.
