Since scientists produced the first cloned mammal Dolly the sheep in 1996 using the somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) technique, 23 mammalian species have been successfully cloned, including cattle, cats, dogs, horses and rats. [4] Using this technique for primates had never been successful and no pregnancy had lasted more than 80 days.
Commercial animal cloning is the cloning of animals for commercial purposes, including animal husbandry, medical research, competition camels and horses, pet cloning, and restoring populations of endangered and extinct animals. [1] The practice was first demonstrated in 1996 with Dolly the sheep.

Dolly Parton in January 2024; Dolly the Sheep in 2000 In 1997, scientists successfully cloned a sheep and named the animal Dolly after country legend Dolly Parton — for a very specific reason.
The first cloned large mammal was a sheep by Steen Willadsen in 1984. However, the cloning was done from early embryonic cells, while the sheep Dolly in 1996 was cloned from an adult cell. [82] Megan and Morag were sheep cloned from differentiated embryonic cells in 1995. Dolly (1996–2003), first cloned mammal from adult somatic cells. She ...
In 1996 Dolly the sheep was born, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. [11] The process by which Dolly the sheep was cloned utilized a process known as nuclear transfer applied by lead scientist Ian Wilmut. Although other scientists were not immediately able to replicate the experiment, Wilmut argued that the experiment was indeed ...
Ian Wilmut, the cloning pioneer whose work was critical to the creation of Dolly the Sheep in 1996, has died at age 79. The University of Edinburgh in Scotland said Wilmut died Sunday after a long ...
A guest on Antiques Roadshow left expert Cristian Beadman stunned by bringing in Dolly the sheep’s fleece for valuation. Dolly, the first mammal that was cloned from an adult somatic cell, was ...
