...Cloning farm animals from embryos is pretty easy; cattle breeders have been doing it for years. Cloning from full-grown mammals is more difficult, but in the two years since Dolly showed that it was possible, scientists have managed to clone other sheep, mice and even cows, starting with a variety of adult donor tissue. Last week Japanese scientists unveiled what may be the most painless way yet to clone a cow: they produced two healthy Holstein calves from their mother's milk...
...cows were cloned using residual mammary cells found in the yellowish foremilk, or colostrum, produced when a cow gives birth. Scientists from Tokyo-based Snow Brand Milk Products gathered up some of these cells and gave them the Dolly-the-sheep treatment: transplanting their DNA into hollowed-out eggs and inserting the resulting embryos into the wombs of surrogate cows. Mammary cells were also used to produce Dolly, but they were scraped from the udder of an adult sheep. The Japanese scientists believe their kinder, gentler technique will make it easier to clone high-milk-yielding "supercows" by reducing...
...bands of the past 30 years. But when pressed to put your finger on any direct musical similarities, it's impossible to find any of the blatant regurgitation with which modern bands have made a killing. Falkner laments: "We've had to suffer through years and years of clone bands. The whole quiet verse and loud chorus is really tired and sad." Running the opposite direction, Falkner taps into a timeless beauty and exudes thirst for life present in the pop bands that have managed a lasting impact of modern music...
