Cloning

Cloning

  • Dolly (sheep)
    Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female domestic sheep, and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.
  • Egg cell
    The egg cell, or ovum, is the female reproductive cell (gamete) in oogamous organisms.
  • Roslin Institute
    The Roslin Institute is an animal sciences research institute at Easter Bush, Midlothian, Scotland, part of the University of Edinburgh, that is sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
  • Umbilical cord
    In placental mammals, the umbilical cord (also called the navel string, birth cord or funiculus umbilicalis) is a conduit between the developing embryo or fetus and the placenta.
  • Orphan Black
    Orphan Black is a Canadian science fiction thriller television series created by screenwriter Graeme Manson and director John Fawcett, starring Tatiana Maslany as several identical people who are clones.
  • Morula
    A morula (Latin, morus: mulberry) is an early stage embryo consisting of cells (called blastomeres) in a solid ball contained within the zona pellucida.
  • Blastula
    The blastula (from Greek βλαστός (blastos), meaning "sprout") is a hollow sphere of cells, referred to as blastomeres, surrounding an inner fluid-filled cavity called the blastocoele formed during an early stage of embryonic development in animals.
  • Y: The Last Man
    Y: The Last Man is a dystopian science fiction comic book series by Brian K.
  • Perivitelline space
    The perivitelline space is the space between the zona pellucida and the cell membrane of an oocyte or fertilized ovum.
  • Keith Campbell (biologist)
    Keith Henry Stockman Campbell (23 May 1954 – 5 October 2012), Professor of Animal Development at the University of Nottingham, was a British biologist who was a member of the team that in 1996 first cloned a mammal, a Finnish Dorset lamb named Dolly, from fully differentiated adult mammary cells.
  • How to Clone a Mammoth
    How to Clone a Mammoth: The Science of De-Extinction is a 2015 non-fiction book by biologist Beth Shapiro and published by Princeton University Press.
  • George Streisinger
    George Streisinger (December 27, 1927- August 11, 1984) was a Jewish-Hungarian molecular biologist at the University of Oregon.
  • Tissue engineering
    Tissue engineering is the use of a combination of cells, engineering and materials methods, and suitable biochemical and physicochemical factors to improve or replace biological tissues.
  • Dickey-Wicker Amendment
    The Dickey-Wicker Amendment is the name of an appropriation bill rider attached to a bill passed by United States Congress in 1995, and signed by former President Bill Clinton, which prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from using appropriated funds for the creation of human embryos for research purposes or for research in which human embryos are destroyed.
  • Samuel H. Wood
    Samuel H. Wood is a scientist and fertility specialist.
