Gene the cow raises interesting possibilities

Noteworthy

Like the polymerase chain reaction, the power of cloning actually may reside in its ability to improve the efficiency of processes already used by animal breeders and laboratories. When ABS Global Inc. (DeForest, Wis.) unveiled its cloned calf last week, it demonstrated for the first time that cloning could work in a cow. The company also introduced innovations into its procedure that could prove less costly, less time consuming and less wasteful of animal embryos than has been possible in the fields of animal breeding and transgenic animal production...
