Abstract:

From first nuclear transfer animals to first somatic cell nuclear transfer primates, nuclear transfer research has experienced for 90 years. During this nearly 100-year research course, it not only addressed a series of important scientific questions, but also has been put into practical applications in many aspects. Here we reviewed the developments and applications of nuclear transfer.
