Writing in last week's issue of Science, the Japanese researchers report that they achieved this feat of bovine photocopying using two different types of cells, taken from a single cow's ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Ten such identical embryos were then implanted in the wombs of surrogate cow mothers, and all but two came to term...
