    Optimal recip research

    clone question

    No. No genes were modified. In fact, the chromosomal genes are an exact copy of another animal with no changes other that the same kind of spontaneous mutations that happen to every animal throughout its life.

    cloning.......purebred people vs. club calf people

    I worked for ViaGen, the cloning company for 8 yrs. I believe there are lots of reasons one might choose to clone an animal. For example, I have 9 clones of the 248 Charolais cow. She is one of the best known and productive Cigar daughters in the breed. I sold her (and reserved the right to...
