List of Cloned Animals
- 1952, by somatic cell nuclear transfer performed by Robert W. Briggs and Thomas J. King [1]
Contents |
[edit] carp
- 1963, in China, embryologist Tong Dizhou cloned a fish. He published the findings in an obscure Chinese science journal which was never translated into English. [2]
[edit] mice
- Mice were the first successfully cloned mammals; in 1986, USSR's scientists Chaylakhyan, Veprencev, Sviridova, Nikitin had mice "Masha" cloned. Research was published in the magazine "Biofizika" volume ХХХII, issue 5 of 1987.[3]. However, the cloning was done from an embryo cell, while the sheep Dolly in 1997 was cloned from an adult cell.
- First from adult cells, Cumulina, was born in 1997 at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa in the laboratory of Ryuzo Yanagimachi using the Honolulu technique.
- over a dozen as of 2002
[edit] sheep
- From early embryonic cells by Steen Willadsen (1986). Megan and Morag cloned from differentiated embryonic cells in June 1995.
- Dolly (1996)
- Polly and Molly (Transgenic Clones, July 1997)
- Royana (2006) cloned in Royan Research institute in Isfahan, Iran.
[edit] pig
- 5 Scottish PPL piglets (Millie, Christa, Alexis, Carrel, and Dotcom) (March 2000)
- Xena (female, August 2000)
[edit] gaur
[edit] cattle
- Millie and Emma were two jersey cows cloned at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. (females, 2001)
- Alpha and Beta (males, 2001)
- Ten more jersey cows were cloned at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. (females, 2002)
- endangered cow in Brazil (2005)
[edit] cat
- CopyCat "CC" (female, late 2001)
- Little Nicky (2004, was the first cat cloned for commercial reasons)
[edit] rabbit
- in France and North Korea independently (March-April, 2003)
- Human-rabbit hybrid in China (August, 2003)

[edit] rat
- Ralph (male, 2003)
[edit] fruit flies
(2004)
[edit] dog
[edit] Animals that have been cloned using embryo splitting
[edit] rhesus monkey
[edit] Note
An Asian scientist, embryologist Tong Dizhou, cloned a fish in 1963, 33 years before Dolly the Sheep. He published the findings in an obscure Chinese science journal which was never translated into English. [8]
