WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Texas researchers clone cat This is Cc:, the first cat clone Researchers in Texas have cloned a cat, producing a two-month-old kitten called Cc:. The work is described in the scientific journal Nature and is the first time anyone has cloned a pet. Cc: is a copy of her genetic mother, not of the surrogate cat which actually gave birth to her. Despite having the same genes and the same colour coat as her genetic mother, Cc: has a different coat pattern, given that these patterns are not exclusively down to genes. The Wall Street Journal says the work at Texas A&M University was financed by an 81-year-old financier called John Sperling, who wants to charge wealthy pet owners to clone their animals. He was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying that he would also like to see cloning used for socially useful animals such as rescue dogs. Previous animal cloning experiments have concentrated on livestock and laboratory animals with a view to duplicating expensively created transgenic animals. Such animals have been genetically modified to make them produce valuable drugs in their milk or to make them potentially suitable for organ transplants. Cc: is the only surviving animal of 87 kitten embryos created by cloning. The success rate is similar to that achieved with sheep, mice, cows, goats and pigs. It will have to improve if pet cloning is to become a reality. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
