Part I the Science of Cloning
نویسنده
چکیده
The year was 1997. The news was amazing: a team of Scottish scientists that included Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell had cloned a lamb from an adult sheep. Although Dolly had been born on July 5, 1996, the team had delayed the announcement to protect their ability to publish their work,1 which they did nearly eight months later in the science journal Nature.2 Dolly promptly became a media sensation. The outpouring of scientific research, academic analysis, and public discussion makes it likely that the reader already possesses some information (or misinformation) about this first and most famous mammal cloned from an adult cell. Also, the experiment that produced her serves as a basis for discussing later developments in cloning science. For these reasons, Part I will begin the discussion with a review of how Dolly was made and what we know about her.

I-19: Identifying and Overcoming an Epigenetic Barrier for SCNT Reprogramming
Background Despite successful cloning of many mammalian species, the cloning efficiency is extremely low compared to that of IVF raising the possibility of the existence of epigenetic barrier preventing successful cloning. MaterialsAndMethods Using comparative transcriptome analysis comparing transcriptomes of IVF and SCNT embryos and that of donor cells, we identified epigenetic barrier and fi...

Knowing the nucleotide sequence of the cholera toxin operon, we designed oligonucleotide primers for its-PCR amplification from local clinical isolates of V. cholerae. The resulting amplification product was cloned in a common pUC18 vector. Subsequently, a part of this operon encoding the cholera toxin Bsubunit (CTB) was reamplified and cloned between the BamH1 and EcoR1 sites of the same ...

Brucella melitensis, as a pathogenic gram-negative intracellular bacterium, causes brucellosis in animals and humans. According to literature, the B. melitensis outer membrane protein 31 (Omp31) is considered as an important vaccine candidate against brucellosis. The aim of the current study was to compare three different expression constructs containing B. melitensis Omp31 antigen using bioinf...

Concern for “reproductive liberty” suggests that decisions about embryos should normally be made by the persons who would be the genetic parents of the child that would be brought into existence if the embryo were brought to term. Therapeutic cloning would involve creating and destroying an embryo, which, if brought to term, would be the offspring of the genetic parents of the perso...
