First primate created by embryonic cell nuclear transfer (1 Jan 1997 Jahr – 31 Dez 1997 Jahr)
Beschreibung:
Cloning identical primates would decrease the genetic variation of research animals, and therefore the number of animals need in research studies. Wolf’s team of scientists fused early-stage embryonic cells with enucleated monkey egg cells using a small electrical shock. Out of 29 cloned embryos, two monkeys were born. This experiment showed that primates, humans’ closest relatives, can be cloned.Zugefügt zum Band der Zeit:
