The promise of dog cloning

Reprod Fertil Dev. 2017 Jan;30(1):1-7. doi: 10.1071/RD17375.

Abstract

Dog cloning as a concept is no longer infeasible. Starting with Snuppy, the first cloned dog in the world, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been continuously developed and used for diverse purposes. In this article we summarise the current method for SCNT, the normality of cloned dogs and the application of dog cloning not only for personal reasons, but also for public purposes.
