（2003）美國(guó)得州農(nóng)業(yè)機(jī)械大學(xué)已經(jīng)培育出他們所認(rèn)為的第一只克隆鹿,該校于12月22日宣布了此事,測(cè)試已經(jīng)確認(rèn)了名為杜威的幼鹿(5月份由替身母羊生出)是一只雄性白尾鹿的基因復(fù)制品。這只白尾鹿來(lái)自得州南部,它的皮膚樣品被用在了克隆過(guò)程中,該校說(shuō)道。"作為這么大的幼鹿,它發(fā)育得很正常,看上去也很健康。"威斯土森博士說(shuō)道,他是這一科研項(xiàng)目的領(lǐng)頭人。
Scientists at Texas A & M University have produced what they believe is the first cloned deer, the school announced on December 22. Tests have confirmed that a fawn named Dewey born to a surrogate mother in May was a genetic duplicate of a male white-tailed deer from southern Texas whose skin samples were used in the cloning process, the school said. 'Dewey is developing normally for a fawn his age and appears healthy,' said Dr. Mark Westhusin, who was lead investigator on the project.
