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

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

Every winter, I put on weight. Even though I live in Los Angeles, where it's 80 degrees today, stingingly hot in the sun, and where I have no legitimate excuse for sitting on my ass all day indoors, except to communicate with you (and fritter my life away on Facebook). Also, I firmly believe that in my previous life, I was an inanimate object of some kind. If only there was some great use for my winter fat stores...like making outrageously adorable, fuzzy tummy-inspiring puppies!

Genetic cloning is an important area of genetic science. It helps to bring about more economical treatments for diseases. For instance insulin for sufferers of diabetes can be created by inserting the correct gene from a human chromosome into a vector, often bacterial. The information in this fact sheet provides some interesting information on cloning, which is part of our studies in introduction to biochemistry. I have therefore bookmarked it...
