Press: Czech experts make cloning breakthrough

A group of experts from Prague’s Institute of Animal Science have made a significant breakthrough in the science of cloning, the newspaper Mladá fronta Dnes reported. In a paper published in the magazine Science, the scientists provide a possible explanation for why the cloning of animals and humans often proves unsuccessful. The Czech team studied the role of the nucleus in the mother’s egg – they found that when it is missing the clone does not develop.
