existed for many years. However, past methods available to generate transgenic animals …

Reprogramming of somatic DNA by oocytes is inadequate and thus often causes an
abnormal epigenetic status in embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) …

The birth and adult development of “Dolly” the sheep, the first mammal produced by transfer
of a terminally differentiated cell nucleus into an egg, provided unequivocal evidence of …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been accomplished in an ever-growing list of
species. In each case, an enucleated oocyte has successfully reset the nucleus of a somatic …

The birth of 'Dolly', the first mammal cloned from an adult donor cell, has sparked a flurry of
research activities to improve cloning technology and to understand the underlying …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technique by which the nucleus of a differentiated
