Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female Finn-Dorset sheep and the first mammal that was cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland .
In 1996, the institute won international fame when Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell, and their colleagues created Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell, at the institute. [13] [14] [15] A year later, two other sheep named Polly and Molly were cloned, each of which contained a human gene.
The resulting cloned animal is an exact genetic replica of the adult mammal from which the somatic cell nucleus was taken. [2] The patent application claims the cloned animal. Claim 155 is representative: 155. A live-born clone of a pre-existing, non-embryonic, donor mammal, wherein the mammal is selected from cattle, sheep, pigs, and goats.

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 ...
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]
Megan and Morag, two domestic sheep, were the first mammals to have been successfully cloned from differentiated cells. [1] They are not to be confused with Dolly the sheep which was the first animal to be successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell [2] or Polly the sheep which was the first cloned and transgenic animal.
