Attempts at Applying Cloning to the Conservation of Species in Danger of Extinction

Int. j. morphol; 23 (4), 2005
The somatic cloning by transfer of the nuclei of differentiated adult cells to previously enucleated oocytes is a promising technique for the production of embryos of high genetic value. The better mastering of somatic cloning gives us the possibility to produce embryos from endangered species. The huemu...
