Sentences with phrase «called nuclear transfer»

The basic process, called nuclear transfer, for making a cloned human embryo is the same as for other animals.

The nuclei are inserted into egg cells which have had their original nucleus removed, a process called nuclear transfer.

Not exact matches

The OAR proposal uses a variation of therapeutic cloning called altered nuclear transfer (ANT) in which the nucleus of a donor cell (a skin cell, for example), containing the 30,000 genes of the genetic code, is altered in such a way that it produces an epigenetic factor, a protein called nanog.

The method, called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), replaces the DNA in an egg cell's nucleus with the genetic material from the nucleus of a skin cell, then tricks the egg cell to start dividing as if it had been fertilized with sperm.

Stem cell researchers call them «a major step in the right direction,» although some were disappointed that NIH didn't open the door to the use of embryos created for research purposes — including through somatic cell nuclear transfer (cloning) and parthenogenesis (from an unfertilized egg).

This transfer of energy between particles with different speed limits is called Cherenkov radiation, and it makes the reactor pools of nuclear power stations glow with a bluish light.

The technique used by Wilmut and his co-workers — a technology called somatic - cell nuclear transfer — will probably be the way in which the first human clone will be created.

To get around that problem, some researchers have tried nuclear transfer using a human cell and egg cells from rabbits or cows to produce so - called cytoplasmic hybrids, or cybrids.

Townes says he and Jaenisch initially collaborated on a project that used nuclear transfer to make corrected stem cells, a process called therapeutic cloning.

This is the mechanism underlying normal fertilization, as well as the cloning technique called Somatic - Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT).

But it turns out that a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) can sometimes reactivate genes.

The experiment that led to the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1997 was different: It used a cloning technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer and resulted in an animal that was a genetic twin — although delayed in time — of an adult sheep.
