Can Humans Be Cloned?
What have we learned from Dolly?
Sometime around 1993, I wrote the following, which appears on page 409 of my text Biology. "Clearly, someone will eventually clone a mammal, even a human.

Clone
A group of genetically identical cells or individuals derived by asexual division from a common ancestor.
An individual formed by some asexual process so that it is genetically identical to its parent.

clone -- An identical copy of an organism. Most plants, fungi, algae, and many other organisms naturally reproduce by making clones of themselves as a form of asexual reproduction.

Clone: A group of genetically identical cells or o rganisms that are descended from one parent. Identical twins are clones, as are colonies of bacteria that reproduce by simple cell division.

In clone-based sequencing (also known as hierarchical shotgun sequencing) the first step is mapping. One first constructs a map of the chromosomes, marking them at regular intervals of about 100 kilobases (kb).

Working from a flanking DNA marker, overlapping clones are successively identified that span a chromosomal region of interest. (See Chromosome.) Cistron. A DNA sequence that codes for a specific polypeptide; a gene. See DNA, Gene. Clone.

Clone -- genetically engineered replicas of DNA sequences. Cloned DNA -- any DNA fragment that passively replicates in the host organism after it has been joined to a cloning vector.

Being genetic clones of the parent plant, offsets are the only way to enlarge the stock of a given tulip cultivar. By contrast, tulips do not "come true" from seed- the mixing of genes between parent tulips is very unpredictable.

Histochemical, immunohistochemical and functional analysis of the resulting cybrids all showed a pattern in the PD clones indicative of a mtDNA mutation.
Full article >>>

The resulting cloned (copied) collections of DNA molecules are called clone libraries. A second type of cloning exploits the natural process of cell division to make many copies of an entire cell.

Cloning animals refers to producing offspring that are genetically identical to the animal being cloned. This process has been done by removing the nucleus of an egg and replacing it with a diploid nucleus from the organism to be cloned.

Since bacteria reproduce asexually all of its descendents are clones. Since reproduction is not perfect mutations happen. The experimenter can set the environment so that mutations for a particular attribute are selected.
