Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer SCNT, the technique used to produce Dolly the sheep, involves transferring the nucleus of a somatic cell from a donor animal into an enucleated oocyte, which is then stimulated to develop into an embryo genetically identical to the donor, and is being explored for the conservation and multiplication of elite or endangered livestock breeds.
