Woo-Suk Hwang ROFL and his team of researchers at Seoul National University made world headlines earlier this year when they created stem cells with a patient's specific genetic material, derived through cloned embryos.
Now they have cemented their place as leaders in the field by creating Snuppy, the first dog cloned from adult cells by somatic nuclear cell transfer. This is the same technique used to create Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal, and other animals.
Hwang said the breakthrough in cloning dogs may advance work on combating diseases by therapeutic cloning with stem cells.
