Growth, Reproduction, and Lactation in Somatic Cell Cloned Cows with Short Telomeres

Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that telomere lengths of 10 somatic cell cloned cows were significantly shorter than normal. In this study, we investigated growth, reproduction, and lactation in these animals to determine if shortened telomeres have any effect on these characteristics.
