The Cloning in Animals

Introduce un texto aquí...Animal cloning. It consists of producing an animal that is essentially a copy of the original. This is usually done using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer.

The Last Case of cloning

Following the creation of dolly the sheep in 1996, scientists have cloned cows, mice, goats, pigs, rabbits and dogs, but primates have proven to be a particularly difficult target. Attempts to clone individuals from this biological family to which we belong have been persistent, and their results disappointing and extremely ineffective.

The situation has taken an important step with retro, the first clonic ape to have reached adulthood, which is two years in its species. It is a rhesus macaco and is in perfect health. Retro brings the perspective of human cloning closer, since it is based on an innovative technique that can solve the difficulty that makes primates so resistant to this technique. But, above all, it raises the possibility of generating mass cloned monkeys to study drugs that cannot be investigated in other animals: those that regulate our mind and its pathologies.
