  2. Cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

    In the field of biotechnology, cloning is the process of creating cloned organisms of cells and of DNA fragments. The artificial cloning of organisms, sometimes known as reproductive cloning, is often accomplished via somatic-cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), a cloning method in which a viable embryo is created from a somatic cell and an egg cell.

  3. Molecular cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cloning

    Molecular cloning takes advantage of the fact that the chemical structure of DNA is fundamentally the same in all living organisms. Therefore, if any segment of DNA from any organism is inserted into a DNA segment containing the molecular sequences required for DNA replication, and the resulting recombinant DNA is introduced into the organism from which the replication sequences were obtained ...

  5. In vitro recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_recombination

    Recombinant DNA (rDNA), or molecular cloning, is the process by which a single gene, or segment of DNA, is isolated and amplified. Recombinant DNA is also known as in vitro recombination . A cloning vector is a DNA molecule that carries foreign DNA into a host cell , where it replicates, producing many copies of itself along with the foreign DNA.

  6. Offspring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offspring

    Cloning is the production of an offspring which represents the identical genes to its parent. Reproductive cloning begins with the removal of the nucleus from an egg, which holds the genetic material. [4] In order to clone an organ, a stem cell is to be produced and then utilized to clone that specific organ. [5]

  7. Nuclear transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_transfer

    Nuclear transfer is a delicate process that is a major hurdle in the development of cloning technology. [5] Materials used in this procedure are a microscope, a holding pipette (small vacuum) to keep the oocyte in place, and a micropipette (hair-thin needle) capable of extracting the nucleus of a cell using a vacuum.

  8. Somatic cell nuclear transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_cell_nuclear_transfer

    It is used in both therapeutic and reproductive cloning. In 1996, Dolly the sheep became famous for being the first successful case of the reproductive cloning of a mammal. [1] In January 2018, a team of scientists in Shanghai announced the successful cloning of two female crab-eating macaques (named Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua) from foetal nuclei. [2]

  9. Artificial reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_reproduction

    Biology, being the study of cellular life, addresses reproduction in terms of growth and cellular division (i.e., binary fission, mitosis and meiosis); however, the science of artificial reproduction is not restricted by the mirroring of these natural processes.The science of artificial reproduction is actually transcending the natural forms, and natural rules, of reproduction.
