Rothblatt speaks about her moonshot ideas like pig cloning and creating digital doppelgangers who will live on the cloud, and gives her views on the Orlando shooting.

It wasn't what you'd call a normal pregnancy. The mother carried 72 embryos in her womb. Only five survived to term. Even weirder, the newborns weren't related to their birthmother; they were clones ...

The need for transplant organs is immense and growing. Some scientists think animal organs might be a good way to increase the supply. Advances in cloning and gene editing have led to breakthroughs.

Chinese scientists are reported to have developed a fully-automated, pig-cloning robot, and the AI-powered bot is apparently way more efficient than humans.

These miniature pigs are part of a bold scientific experiment that takes advantage of breakthroughs in cloning and gene editing to realize the centuries-old dream of xenotransplantation — the ...

Cloning Pigs NPR's Joe Palca reports the possibility of one day using animal organs as replacement organs in humans may have just moved a step closer. Researchers report in Science magazine this ...

Cloned Pigs Differ From Originals In Looks And Behavior Date: April 16, 2003 Source: North Carolina State University Summary: New research at North Carolina State University's College of ...

Cloning is still used for that purpose, especially for high-value animals, such as bulls. In some animals, like pigs, cloning remains the most effective way to add desirable traits, says Angelika ...

New research at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine indicates that cloned pigs can have the same degree of variability in physical appearance and behavior as normally ...

To turn the edited cells into a pig, cloning is required, taking the edited cells and fusing them with a donor egg cell that has had its nucleus removed to create a pig embryo.
