has anybody on steer planet cloned a cow?

Yes we have a cell line on Hazel and am considering having her cloned.I would like some input to see how a cloned cow reproduces.CAB said:Do you have a cellline on Hazel?

yes it does.. it is lost.. the end of the strands (ladders) is constantly being sluffed off, small peice by small peice. Go back to school and learn about it.
This is what causes people to need glasses when they get older, lose their hair, get wrinkles, etc... (the signs of getting old)

chambero said:That's why they take ear punches to get cell lines from old cattle for cloning - they don't want the offspring to have poor eyesight, chronic hair loss, or crippled due to old DNA in those parts of the body. They dont care if they are hard hearing. (really wish I had the little wink icon)
On a more serious note, you have more than a few things confused on the how the aging process, so you might want to retake that class.
You also might want to be sure about the background of someone before throwing darts at them. Although I'm not a geneticist, i'll lay money I've spent more time in science classes and have more degees and professional licenses related to science on my business card than you. Lack of time in school isn't my weakness.
DNA doesnt change - at least not significantly enough to matter for this discussion. Any losses due to age are very random and not uniform from one cell to another. That's about as much as I care to know.
The people that are cloning know cattle and know the science- when there is a better way to do it, they will.
I would never presume to think I knew more about it than them.
