...find out whether Hwang's stem cells came from a single egg, Daley's team, which included leading researchers from England, Japan and Canada, conducted a whole-genome analysis of the DNA from Hwang's stem cell line.

"The genetic signature of a parthenote is very very obvious," says Daley. Because...
