Clones of animals

Many people remember a few years ago, the world learned of the cloned Dolly the sheep.
Its creator is the scientist Ian Wilmut from England. But let's look at the lesser-known clones of other animals.




When the company «BioArts International» decided to conduct an experiment in cloning a dog, the choice fell on the German shepherd Tracker. On this heroic dog repeatedly written media. September 11, 2001 this heroic dog almost two days without rest worked on the ruins of New York shopping mall searching for victims. In June 2009, it came to light five healthy puppies - clones tracker.



These white kittens handiwork of geneticists from South Korea. A team of scientists has created three clones cats with modified DNA. The skin of these animals glows red when exposed to ultraviolet rays. Korean researchers believe that their work will help in the treatment of genetic diseases in humans and animals.



This handsome Maine Coon Little Nicky (Little Nicky) is also a clone and was born in September 2004, after the death of a seventeen-year-older cat Nicky. The mistress of the old cat is very fond of his pet, and therefore decided to cloning, paying him $ 50 000. It was the first cloning for commercial purposes.

Among the clones already trained dogs, this percentage is much higher and reaches 90.



Biologist - geneticist Hwang Usok Korea in 2011 showed the world the eight puppies cloned wild coyote. This kind of animal is on the verge of extinction.



In Dubai, in 2009 there was the first cloned camel Inzhas. The scientist - a reproductive Lulu Skidmo calls this work a breakthrough. According to the scientist, his research will help to reproduce the most productive dairy camels and fastest sports camels.



These clones oxen were born in 2008 in Japan. Biomaterials for them were the frozen cells, two oxen, died in 1993.



Puppy Snoopy is considered one of the major scientific achievements in 2005. The dog was cloned from ear greyhound African scholars from Korea Hwang Usok. Later, the scientist has repeatedly been seen in the falsification of their labors. But the authenticity of this puppy cloning confirmed by other scientific men famous geneticists.



In Texas Veterinary College December 22, 2001 was born Shorthair kitty - clone CC. According to the color baby does not like her mother. Scientists attribute this to the X-chromosome inactivation. In 2006 Sisi she became a mother, having given birth to four tiny kittens conceived naturally. This is the first cloned animal, which gave full posterity.



Calf in the picture - the result of dual cloning. It was cloned from cells already previously cloned animal.
