Introduction: on June 26, 11 experts from NSFC and Chinese Academy of Sciences, including Wu Changxin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhu Yuding, chief scientist of the Ministry of agriculture, came to Shandong large and medium animal embryo engineering center in wulidun, Caoxian County, to carry out on-site assessment and acceptance of China's first indigenous cattle cloning project Up to now, the key support project of NSFC, the scientific research project of livestock asexual reproduction "cloned cattle" presided over by researcher Chen Dayuan of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been successfully carried out in wulidun, Caoxian county In this cloning experiment, 12 cows have successfully conceived cloned cow embryo, produced 114 cloned calves, and survived 5 This is the first batch of completely Chinese engineering It is also the result of the strong combination of domestic production technology of cloned embryos and a series of supporting technology of embryo transfer Today, animal husbandry cloning experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also collected body cell samples from cloned cattle that died of stillbirth or postnatal death These collected somatic samples will also be used to compare with the cell DNA of donor cattle According to reports, cell samples of 5 surviving cloned cattle were also collected recently, and the identification results were made by a famous international scientific research institution It is reported that these experts will return to Beijing tonight to participate in the summary and appraisal meeting of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the cloning technology, and the appraisal results will be published at home and abroad in the near future (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
