Document Summary
2011 commercial cloning (get paid for them) and wild species cloning (cid:1) Genetic material from coyotes- fused it with the eggs of domestic dogs (cid:1) Police sniffer dogs- 2007 genetic material from canadian sniffer dog chase clones used in airports. Hope to produce ~1 million cloned calves a year. Sooam biotech want to recreate a woolly mammoth. Have blood and skin cells from frozen example. Primate cloning: embryo twinning tetra cloned from embryo mokey by gerald schatten (cid:1) Cloning with the goal of initiating a pregnancy and thus a new, living organism (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) Cloning with the goal of creating embryonic stem cells for use in the treatment of disease (cid:1) Requires a greater understanding of the genetic components (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) behind disease. How are we different from plants and other animals. ~20 000 genes project to map all genes in the human genome (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1) (cid:1)
