The First Clone

On July 5th, 1996, a female domestic sheep was born, becoming the first mammal cloned from a single cell. The process was successfully completed by the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland. Scientists cloned the animal named "Dolly" from a mammary gland cell taken from a sheep. Dolly had six lambs of her own, all by natural birth.
