[5] Other known cloned animal species include domestic cats, dogs, pigs, and ...
Scientists have cloned the first rhesus monkey, a breakthrough that could help advance medical research but has drawn criticism from an animal welfare group. New cloned monkey species highlights ...
In January 2019, scientists in China reported the creation of five identical cloned gene-edited monkeys, using the same cloning technique that was used with Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, and the same gene-editing CRISPR-Cas9 technique allegedly used by He Jiankui in creating the first ever gene-modified human babies Lulu and Nana. The monkey clones ...
Cloning may have uses in preserving endangered species, and may become a viable tool for reviving extinct species.
