Endangered animals cloned by somatic cell nuclear transfer (1 janv. 2001 – 31 déc. 2001)

A challenge to cloning endangered and extinct species is finding closely related animals to serve as egg donors and surrogates. The gaur and mouflon were chosen in part because they are close relatives of domestic cattle and sheep, respectively.
