Cloned sheep not genetically identical
NEW YORK, Sep 13 – Dolly, the sheep cloned by Scottish scientists in 1997 — arguably the most famous farm animal in the world – is not identical to the ewe from which she was cloned, new research confirms.
Reporting in the September issue of Nature Genetics, Wilmut and colleagues at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, explain that Dolly has different genetic material in a portion of her cells than does the original ewe.
Comment: It looks as though innate is on the job again.
