Blastocyst formation, embryo transfer and breed comparison in the first reported large scale cloning of camels

Abstract Cloning, through somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), has the potential for a large expansion of genetically favorable traits in a population in a relatively short term. In the present study we aimed to produce multiple cloned camels from racing, show and dairy exemplars. We compared sever...
