Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test kits for COVID-19 use what’s known as gene cloning – not reproductive cloning – to detect the presence or absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but social media posts ...

WASHINGTON - Cloning humans, or any other primates, may be impossible with today's techniques because of a fundamental molecular obstacle, say scientists trying to understand why attempts to clone ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Colossal Biosciences has announced its first acquisition, bringing Viagen Pets and Equine, the world leader in animal cloning, into its growing biotechnology family. Viagen made headlines a few years ...
