It also raised two big questions. The first, from many a dog owner: When can I clone my dog? The second: What are they going to clone next? The answer to the first is not very soon. The Korean achievement proves that cloning a dog is possible, not that it...
But it may not help pet owners. Cloning Snuppy (the name comes from "Seoul National University puppy") took nearly three years and cost millions of dollars. Hwang's ultimate motive, he says, is to create a research model for making stem cells that could cure disease in people. "Compared with...
As for what comes next, GS&C has stored the DNA of several rare or endangered animals in its cryogenic freezers, including two types of antelope. But, as the world was reminded last week, the biggest breakthroughs in cloning are now coming from Asia--not just South Korea but also...
This lab, at Seoul National University, which made news earlier this summer when they announced a more efficient way of producing human stem cells using a similar cloning process, works seven days a week, for almost 24 hours a day. By keeping a constant vigil for the hormonal signs of...
