    Abstract:

    The criteria for the breeding or purchase of high quality research animals in general, and of dogs, cats, monkeys, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits were discussed. The reasons for using high quality animals are: economic, accuracy and reproducibility of results, no effects due to the presence of pathogens, and reduction of human health hazards.

    Reproductive Cloning

    Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
    Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
    In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic cell—any cell that is not a sex...
