Korea continues to successfully clone dogs

On December 17, Korean scientists at Seoul National University (SNU) announced that they had successfully cloned three more dogs.

Three dogs were named Bona, Peace and Hope (pictured), born in June and July this year respectively, using the same technology applied to create Snuppy - the first cloned dog. First in the world last year in Korea.

Scientists have extracted the mother dog's genetic gene to put it in the cores of the discarded egg. These cells are then implanted in the womb of another bitch. According to the report, the success rate of this experiment is 25%, much higher than the rate of 0.8% of Snuppy dogs. All cloned "dogs" have the same characteristics as their mother dogs. Scientists hope to apply this technology in the field of cell handling and animal husbandry.
