PRODUCTION OF CLONED OFFSPRING FROM COOLED CARCASSES

摘要

Genetic material is derived from animals post-mortem, and used in nuclear transfer processes to produce cloned embryos and live cloned animals having genetic make-ups identical to the post mortem animals. The method has particular applicability to the management and breeding of livestock, to the production of animals having desired genetic traits, and to the integration of those genetic traits into selective breeding operations.
