A community portal about Cloning with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of an original organism or thing. Cloning in the biological sense results in a molecule, single cell or multi-cellular organism that has been directly copied from and is therefore genetically identical to the molecule, cells or organism being cloned. Sometimes this term can refer to "natural" clones, which may arise when an organism reproduces asexually by chance, but in common parlance, a clone is an identical copy created intentionally.

In this handout image provided by RNL Bio Co. Ltd., two cloned Beagles, Magic and Stem, are shown at the National Seoul University on January 29, 2009 in Seoul, South Korea. RNL Bio, a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in stem cell based therapeutics, completed the cloning of the dogs by means of somatic cells. (Getty Images) more pics » The South Korean firm RNL Bio announced Thursday that they had cloned dogs using stem cells taken from fat tissue, marking the first ever successful cloning of animals from cells other than somatic cells. The two clones, Magic and Stem, were reportedly derived from the ... Read Full Story

Beta-2-microglobulin (β2m) is the light chain of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I cell surface heterodimer. β2m is well conserved across most species with few polymorphisms seen within species. The aims of this study were to clone and express ovine β2m and investigate if allelic variation of ovine β2m exists. Ovine β2m clones were isolated from five sheep of three breeds by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . Sequence analysis showed that four ovine β2m sequences were obtained. Within breeds and individual animals there was evidence of allelic variation of ovine β2m. An expression system was established to express one of the alleles ... Read Full Story

On Nov. 19, scientists from Penn State University announced that they had succeeded in piecing together the majority of the woolly mammoth's genome, bringing the world one step closer to the Jurassic Park fantasy of using recovered DNA to bring an extinct species back to a shaggy, lumbering existence. The wonders of eBay allowed the scientists to purchase a $130 bag of 20,000-year-old woolly-mammoth hair from a vendor in Moscow, and the wonders of science allowed them to extract the mammoth's genetic information in the most successful attempt to date to sequence an extinct animal's DNA. DNA in general breaks down after 60,000 years ... Read Full Story

Deep inside the dusty university store room, three scientists struggle to lift a huge fossilised bone. It is from the leg of a dinosaur. For many years, this chunky specimen has languished cryptically on a shelf. Interesting but useless — a forgotten relic of a lost age. Now, with hammer and chisel poised, the academics from Montana State University in America gather round. They are about to shatter this rare vestige of the past. Why would they do such a thing? - READ THE FULL STORY ON dailymail.co.uk . Okay I'm really not to sure what to think of this one. I would love ... Read Full Story

The whole point of putting my xVMs on iSCSI, besides performance, was to make cloning easier. I have created a document that explains our process for cloning xVM domUs.  http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenIT/Cloning+iSCSI+xVMs Please let me know what you think!  ~tommy

Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases are thought to be key enzymes in the catabolism of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. However, little is known about the enzymes of this type in basidiomycetes. We investigated endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases in basidiomycetes using fluorescence-labeled glycoasparagines as substrates. Flammulina velutipes showed high activity and its enzyme was named endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase FV (Endo FV). The enzyme...

The gene encoding a catalase-peroxidase (KatG) was cloned from chromosomal DNA of a fast-growing Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1 DSM 3803. The nucleotide sequence of a 5.7-kb EcoRI fragment containing the katG and its flanking regions were determined. The fragment (5,706 bps) contained two complete open reading frames (ORFs) encoding putative ferric uptake regulator A (FurA) and KatG proteins. The cloned gene, katG, had an ORF of 2241 nt...

Trying to match the “SharePoint look” is always a challenge for developers. Recently I had to build a web part that would live along side other “stock” SharePoint web parts. I also needed a functional toolbar for the web part and having it on the same page I wanted a seamless look to the toolbar so it looked just like any other part of the solution. In the past I would just create a lot of HTML helpers to spit out the right markup with my...
