Cloned rabbits
Cloned rabbits. Female researcher holding cloned rabbits. A clone is a genetically identical copy of an organism. In cloning, the genetic material from the cell of the animal to be copied is implanted into an egg cell (ovum) from which the genetic material has been removed. Work at this centre, the Science and Production Bioengineering Livestock-Breeding Centre in Russia, includes cloning transgenic farm animals. These animals have other organisms genetic material inserted into their own to give them traits such as disease resistance or higher milk yields. They can also be used as a cheap way to produce medically-valuable substances and drugs. Photographed in 1999

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the world of genetic engineering and cloning. In the image, a female researcher delicately cradles two cloned rabbits, showcasing the remarkable advancements achieved at the Science and Production Bioengineering Livestock-Breeding Centre in Russia. Cloning is an intricate process that involves creating genetically identical copies of organisms. The technique employed at this center entails implanting genetic material from a donor animal into an egg cell, replacing its original DNA. This breakthrough technology has paved the way for various applications, including cloning transgenic farm animals. Transgenic animals are created by inserting genetic material from other organisms to confer specific traits such as disease resistance or higher milk yields. Moreover, these engineered creatures serve as a cost-effective means to produce medically valuable substances and drugs. The photograph was taken in 1999 when this cutting-edge research was still relatively new. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of scientific progress. By harnessing bioengineering and genetics, researchers at this facility have opened doors to endless possibilities in livestock breeding and biotechnology. This image not only showcases the beauty of nature but also highlights humanity's ability to manipulate it for beneficial purposes. It stands as a reminder that science continues to push boundaries while offering hope for advancements that can revolutionize various industries without mentioning any commercial use specifically associated with it.
