  3. 20 Years after Dolly the Sheep Led the Way—Where Is Cloning Now?

    Some agricultural cloning is used in the U.S. and China to capitalize on the genes of a few extraordinary specimens, scientists say, but the European Parliament voted last year to ban cloning ...

  4. Cloning Fact Sheet

    Cloning Fact Sheet. The term cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone. Researchers have cloned a wide range of biological materials, including genes, cells ...

  5. Cloning

    Cloning offers the opportunity to make transgenic animals from cultured cells that have been genetically engineered. The first genetically engineered or transgenic mammalian clones were sheep born in 1997 carrying the coding sequences for human clotting factor IX, which is an important therapeutic for hemophiliacs.

  6. Animal cloning and consumption of its by-products: A scientific and

    The goal of animal cloning includes the production of genetically modified animal for human consumption. Therefore, this research endeavoured to study animal cloning's current scientific findings, examine the by-product of said process, and determine its permissibility in an Islamic context. This study employed descriptive literature reviews.

(A) Mammal cloning as represented by the number of articles published per year.(B) Representation of the number of publications by species per year, upper left indicates the scale difference of small laboratory animals, mice and rats, when compared to the most published of the larger species.. Dotted lines indicate the peak in cloning ...

  8. Cloning: A Review on Bioethics, Legal, Jurisprudence and Regenerative

    Cloning is the outcome of the hard works on use of genetic engineering in animal breeding, treatment of hereditary diseases in human and replicating organisms. 16 In 1901, transfer of nucleus of a salamander embryonic cell to a enucleated cell was successfully undertaken. During 1940-1950, scientists could clone embryos in mammals.

  9. Birth of clones of the world's first cloned dog

    Animal cloning has gained popularity as a method to produce genetically identical animals or superior animals for research or industrial uses. However, the long-standing question of whether a ...

  10. Cloning

    Cloning is a technique scientists use to make exact genetic copies of living things. Genes, cells, tissues, and even whole animals can all be cloned. Some clones already exist in nature. Single-celled organisms like bacteria make exact copies of themselves each time they reproduce. In humans, identical twins are similar to clones.

  11. Biology of Cloning: History and Rationale

    Professor of Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN 55108-1095. He is the author of Cloning: Nuclear Transplantation in Amphibia (1978) and Cloning of Frogs, Mice and Other Animals (1985) and the 1998 recipient of the Prince Hitachi Prize in Comparative Oncology, awarded by the Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research.

  12. Animal Cloning

    Animal Cloning. In 2001, when it became apparent that animal cloning may become a commercial venture to help improve the quality of herds, FDA requested livestock producers and researchers to keep ...

  13. Cloning (Animals)

    The United States has had extensive exposure to domestic animal cloning in general, especially in the horse. Since the first equid cloning by Professor Gordon Woods, in 2003 [7], there have been reports of equine cloning for research and commercial purposes [14]. In 2005, ViaGen LLC, located in Austin, Texas, began producing bovine and equine ...

  14. Mammalian cloning: advances and limitations

    The cloning of large farm animals from genetically manipulated donor nuclei will have significant practical benefits. ... Following these reports, cloning research stalled for a couple of years ...

  15. Animals

    Animal cloning, scientifically known as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), is an advanced reproductive technology which has potential application in various aspects of bioscience and biotechnology, such as livestock breeding, endangered species preservation, organ xenotransplantation, and transgenic animal generation. ... Research articles ...

  16. In World First, Monkeys Cloned Like Dolly the Sheep

    January 24, 2018. • 11 min read. In a world first, Chinese researchers have successfully cloned macaques using the same technique that yielded the famous clone Dolly the sheep. The milestone ...

  17. Genetic engineering of animals: Ethical issues, including welfare

    Wild animals . The primary application of genetic engineering to wild species involves cloning. This technology could be applied to either extinct or endangered species; for example, there have been plans to clone the extinct thylacine and the woolly mammoth ().Holt et al point out that, "As many conservationists are still suspicious of reproductive technologies, it is unlikely that cloning ...

  18. Scientists Show Cloning Leads to Severe Dysregulation of Many Genes

    New results from Rudolf Jaenisch's lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research confirmed that the cloning process jeopardizes the integrity of an animal's whole genome. Scientists had suspected this based on studying a mere dozen genes, but the current study, which will be reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science this week, expansively surveyed ...

  19. What are the potential medical benefits of animal cloning? So far I

    The primary biomedical benefits of cloning stem more from the use of this technology in the genetic modification of animals rather than from making identical copies, however.

  20. Will Cloning Ever Save Endangered Animals?

    Current cloning techniques have an average success rate of less than 5 percent, even when working with familiar species; cloning wild animals is usually less than 1 percent successful. Any animals ...

  21. Animal Cloning

    In two cloning studies [ 26; 50], researchers did find that inbred animals showed much poorer cloning success than outbred animals, but even in outbred strains, cloning efficiency was low 0.36-1.8% of the hybrid cloned embryos produced from nuclei of hybrid cells resulted in live births). That suggests that inbreeding, although it plays a role ...

  22. Scientists Track Down the Root of Cloning Problems

    The researchers found that animals developing from mouse embryonic stem cells were not overgrown at birth, but embryonic stem cells used in the cloning procedure gave rise to overgrown animals. These findings could shed light on similar phenomena observed in cloning other animals, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats, says Eggan.

  23. Benefits and problems with cloning animals.

    Animal cloning is becoming a useful technique for producing transgenic farm animals and is likely to be used to produce clones from valuable adults. Other applications will also undoubtedly be discovered in the near future, such as for preserving endangered breeds and species. Although cloning promises great advantages for commerce and research ...
