The cloning of animals is important to the studying of the Human Genome Project. Like we mentioned on the home page, a lot of research and testing has been performed on animals to better understand exactly how this DNA is interpreted and how it affects human life.
Some testing involves the manipulation of DNA and the creating of clones.
She has the exact copy of DNA of another adult sheep and has no father. Veterinarians fertilized the egg by the transformation of nuclei of different sheep cells. In September of 1996, just six months after Dolly, ABS Global cloned this young bull named Gene. This company is pursuing animal cloning as a way of producing livestock. The University of Hawaii cloned the two mice that are on the bottom, laying with their surrogate mother.
