Animals resulting from trans-species cloning are valuable scientifically, but are not directly useful for supporting endangered populations. One of the first examples of trans-species cloning was a gaur Bos gaurus produced by scientists at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Massachusetts. The gaur is a wild ox native to South East Asia. Unfortunately, the clone, created using a skin cell of an adult male gaur, died of dysentery 2 days after birth.

In an another effort, scientists cloned a banteng Bos javanicus , a wild, hoofed mammal from Java, using skin cell nuclei from frozen tissue from a banteng that died in The banteng calf appeared healthy.

Nerve cells Cultured pluripotent stem cells Grow in special conditions Kidney cells to form different tissues or organs Heart muscle cells Pancreatic insulin-producing cells Bone marrow cells Tissues or organ transplanted into patient with no rejection problems Figure The diagram shows a hypothetical strategy for the therapeutic use of cloning for stem cells. Actual therapeutic use is in the distant future.

Cloned cells are allowed to develop into the blastocyst stage 30— cells. Cells are then removed from the inner cell mass and cultured to produce stem cells. The stems cells could then be cultured in special conditions that promote the formation of different tissues or organs. Thus, the embryo contained mitochondria of both species, forming an unusual type of hybrid. If such a cloned female were to breed naturally with a male that shared its nuclear genome, the offspring would still possess mitochondria that derived form the original donor and the cow egg, since mtDNA is.

More accessible to beginning students in the field than its encyclopedic counterparts, Fundamental Molecular Biology provides a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology, and is supported by current examples, experimental evidence, an outstanding art program, multimedia support and a solid pedagogical framework.

The text has been praised both for its balanced and solid coverage of traditional topics, and for its broad coverage of RNA structure and function, epigenetics and medical molecular biology. Focuses primarily on eukaryotic examples but includes key comparisons with prokaryotic organisms where it is appropriate? Includes all-original artwork providing the clearest possible insight into complex concepts.
