• Resumen

  • A mouse has smashed the record for sequential cloning--the ability to make clones of clones of clones. Twenty-five generations of clones have come from the mouse, and all 580 of them were healthy, lived normal lifespans and could have healthy pups through normal mating. Teruhiko Wakayama carried out the work. He says that the technique could help in producing high-quality animals for farms and conservation purposes.
