Woolly Mammoth To Be Cloned By Korean Scientists

Woolly Mammoth To Be Cloned By Korean Scientists | Science News | Scoop.it

A Siberian woolly mammoth preserved in permafrost could walk the Earth again after 10,000 years, after Russian academics signed a deal with a controversial Korean scientist to clone the animal.

Hwang Woo-Suk of South Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation -- who created the world’s first cloned dog, Snuppy, in 2005 -- will implant the nucleus from a mammoth cell into an elephant egg to create a mammoth embryo.

The embryo will then be implanted into an elephant’s womb. The Koreans say research could begin this year.

Not one, not two, not three, but four clones: First quantum cloning machine to produce four copies

Not one, not two, not three, but four clones: First quantum cloning machine to produce four copies | Science News | Scoop.it
Scientists in China have produced a theory for a quantum cloning machine able to produce several copies of the state of a particle at atomic or sub-atomic scale, or quantum state.

This is an amazing advancement in cloning technology. It is difficult to clone more than one copy at a time because clones are not exact copies, they are only approximate copies. By being able to clone 4 copies at a time, we are able to have a better understanding of cloning and are able to apply this information to clone substances with any quantum state.
