By Joseph Panno
Animal Cloning: The Science of Nuclear Transfer offers a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of animal cloning within the broader context of modern biology. The book explains how cloning occurs naturally at the molecular, cellular, and organism levels, then traces the scientific journey that led to nuclear transfer techniques and the successful cloning of mammals, including the landmark case of Dolly the sheep.
Key Features:
-
Clear explanation of nuclear transfer and cloning mechanisms
-
Historical overview of animal cloning experiments
-
Discussion of transgenic animals and biomedical applications
-
Coverage of ethical, legal, and commercial issues
-
Suitable for biology, biotechnology, and veterinary readers
