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 somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), the same cloning technique that produced Dolly the sheep in 1996.
While pet cloning is sometimes advertised as a prospective method for re-gaining a deceased companionship animal, [40] pet cloning does not result in animals that are exactly like the previous pet (in looks or personality). [41] Although the animal in question is cloned, there are still phenotypical differences that may affect its appearance or ...
Cloning Dolly the Sheep Dolly the Sheep and the importance of animal research; Animal cloning and Dolly; Antiques Roadshow, Series 45, Brodie Castle 3, Dolly the Sheep. BBC (3' video clip). 6 April 2023. Episode where several items appertaining to Dolly, including wool from a shearing and scientific instruments, were appraised.
The taxidermied body of Dolly the sheep Dolly clone. Dolly, a Finn-Dorset ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. Dolly was formed by taking a cell from the udder of her 6-year-old biological mother. [30] Dolly's embryo was created by taking the cell and inserting it into a sheep ovum.
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]
This is the process that was used to successfully clone Dolly the sheep (see § History). [5] The technique, now refined, has indicated that it was possible to replicate cells and reestablish pluripotency, or "the potential of an embryonic cell to grow into any one of the numerous different types of mature body cells that make up a complete ...
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.
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 ...
