One puppy was cloned from the cells of a dog that had died 12 days before. [33] Sinogene, a Beijing, China-based biotechnology company, was reported in December 2017 to have cloned Apple, a gene-edited dog, named "Longlong". In 2019, the first batch of monotocous cloned police dogs was born. [34] [35] [36]
The cloned Pyrenean ibex was born in Spain through genetic cloning techniques, with the research article published in 2009. [2] However, she died several minutes after birth due to a lung defect. [3] [4] The Pyrenean ibex remains the only animal to have ever been brought back from extinction—and also the only one to go extinct twice.
Cloning has been used by scientists since the 1950s. [5] One of the most well known clones is Dolly the sheep. Dolly was born in the mid 1990s and lived normally until the abrupt midlife onset of health complications resembling premature aging, that led to her death. [5] Other known cloned animal species include domestic cats, dogs, pigs, and ...
Model of a woolly mammoth at the Royal BC Museum. The revival of the woolly mammoth is a proposed hypothetical that frozen soft-tissue remains and DNA from extinct woolly mammoths could be a means of regenerating the species. Several methods have been proposed to achieve this goal, including cloning, artificial insemination, and genome editing.
Mammonteus primigenius Osborn, 1924. Elephas boreus Hay, 1924. The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived from the Middle Pleistocene until its extinction in the Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with the African Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene.
Known for. First primates to be cloned using the somatic cell nuclear transfer method. Zhong Zhong (Chinese: 中中; pinyin: Zhōng Zhōng, born 27 November 2017) and Hua Hua (Chinese: 华华; pinyin: Huá Huá, born 5 December 2017) are a pair of identical crab-eating macaques (also referred to as cynomolgus monkeys) that were created through ...
Elizabeth Ann (born December 10, 2020) is a black-footed ferret, the first U.S. endangered species to be cloned. [1] [2] The animal was cloned using the frozen cells from Willa, a black-footed female ferret who died in the 1980s [3] and had no living descendants. [4] Black-footed ferrets are the only ferret species native to the United States. [5]
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. Her cloning proved that a cloned organism could be produced from ...
