Much emphasis is currently given to the use of Interspecific Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
(ISCNT) as a potential salvage tool for endangered animals. In this short review we present …

Cloning as it relates to the animal kingdom generally refers to the production of genetically
identical individuals. Because cloning is increasingly the subject of renewed attention as a …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can provide a unique alternative for the preservation of
valuable individuals, breeds and species. However, with the exception of a handful of …

Embryologists working with livestock species were the pioneers in the field of
reprogramming by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Without the “Dolly experiment,” the …

Currently, the conservation of biodiversity is a pressing issue due to the extinction and
endangerment of many species. There are multiple reasons for the extinction or …

Interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) is an emerging assisted reproductive
technology (ART) for preserving Nature's diversity. The scarcity of oocytes from some …

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) offers the possibility of preserving endangered species.
It is one of the few technologies that avoids the loss of genetic variation and provides the …

Nuclear transfer (NT) experiments in mammals have demonstrated that adult cells are
genetically equivalent to early embryonic cells and the reversal of the differentiated state of a …

Attempts through somatic cell nuclear transfer to expand wild populations that have shrunk
to critical numbers is a logical extension of the successful cloning of mammals. However …
