Rare pig breed cloned - April 2002 - BBC
US scientists have cloned a rare breed of pig in an
experiment they say shows the copying technology
can be made more efficient.
The cloned animal, called Princess, was the last female
in one of only four bloodlines of Gloucestershire Old
Spots in North America.
Several attempts at getting offspring from Princess
through natural breeding and artificial insemination
had failed, NewScientist.com reports.
Cloning produced three piglets, born via a surrogate
mother, after just one embryo implantation round.
