Phenotypic effects of somatic cell cloning in the mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Although a variety of phenotypes and epigenetic alterations have been reported in animals cloned from somatic cells, the exact nature and consequences of cloning remain unclear. We cloned mice using fresh or short-term cultures of donor cells (cumulus cells, immature Sertoli cells, and fetal or adult fibroblast cells) with defined genetic backgrounds, and then compared the phenotypic and epigenetic...
