This book extract explains the process of reproductive cloning and the issues that surround it. Topics covered include Dolly the sheep, biological problems with cloned animals and the claims of human cloning. It is argued that the process of cloning is inefficient and that biolo…
"Reflecting the milestones in the field that have occurred since the publication of the first edition, this book provides an updated tool kit that incorporates conventional as well as modern approaches to tackling biological and medicinal research in the post genomic era. The au…
"Could extinct species, like mammoths and passenger pigeons, be brought back to life? The science says yes. In How to Clone a Mammoth, Beth Shapiro, evolutionary biologist and pioneer in "ancient DNA" research, walks readers through the astonishing and controversial process of d…
