Our ability to cut and paste DNA from different sources and to assemble it into gene constructs has been one of the key drivers of biological research and biotechnology over the past four decades.

It’s been 20 years since scientists in Scotland told the world about Dolly the sheep, the first mammal successfully cloned from an adult body cell. What was special about Dolly is that her “parents” ...

With the arrival of Little Nicky, a kitten cloned to duplicate a Dallas woman's deceased pet, animal cloning has moved from closed-door laboratories to commercial application. The $50,000 feline was ...

As a crusader against reproductive human cloning, Rudolf Jaenisch doesn’t exactly fit the profile. He’s motivated by neither politics nor religion. To make his case he appeals only to biology: human ...

Certain cloned mice become more obese than mice that were born by normal means or conceived in a test tube, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine ...

Kevin Sinclair receives funding from University of Nottingham. It’s now 20 years since the birth of Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned. This groundbreaking scientific achievement was ...

The hitherto rather tranquil and research-focused cell biology community is at the receiving end of a number of wakeup calls that hammer home an important message with increasing urgency: you as cell ...

“Nobody wants the dinosaurs back, because we’ve all seen ‘Jurassic Park,’ ” says documentarian Christian Frei. “But everybody wants the woolly mammoth back, because of ‘Ice Age’! They have this ...
