Introduces cloning, describes succesful cloning experiments, and discusses the ethical implications of the process.

In Human Cloning a panel of distinguished philosophers, medical ethicists, religious thinkers, and social critics tackle the thorny problems raised by the now real possibility of human cloning. In the

Cloning - few words have as much potential to grip our imagination or grab the headlines. No longer the stuff of science fiction or Star Wars - it is happening now. Yet human cloning is currently bann

These essays address the complex moral, ethical, and political issues that infuse the debate.

Technology is the boon of modern times. The expansion of molecular cloning technology in the late 20th century created an uprising in the biological and biomedical sciences that extends till today. Th

Principles of Cloning is the first comprehensive review of animal cloning since the creation of the cloned sheep Dolly. The book presents the basic biological mechanisms of how cloning works and progr

PCR Cloning Protocols, Second Edition, updates and expands Bruce White's best-selling PCR Cloning Protocols (1997) with the newest procedures for DNA cloning and mutagenesis. Here the researcher will

This volume provides an overview of gene cloning techniques and how they can be used in pure and applied research. Writing for undergraduates and graduate students in biological and biomedical science

Seven medical ethicists, philosophers, religious thinkers, and social critics confront the Pandora's box of issues raised by the imminent prospect of cloning humans a la Huxley's 1932 Brave New World

Kass, a noted teacher, scientist, and humanist, and Wilson, a political scientist, explore the ethics of human cloning, reproductive technology, and the teleology of human sexuality. Although in their

Animals and plants use ingenious ways to reproduce and ensure the survival of their species. One of these methods is asexual reproduction, a process by which some plants and animals create clones. Sci

Cloning was first published in 1985. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University o

In DNA Cloning and Assembly Methods, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used for DNA cloning and make cloning procedures faster, more reliable and also s

Updated to reflect advances in the field, this introduction provides a broad, but concise, coverage of recombinant DNA techniques. Written for advanced undergraduates, graduates and scientists who want to use this technology, emphasis is placed on the concepts underlying particular types of cloning vectors to aid understanding and to enable readers to devise suitable strategies for novel experimental situations. An introduction to the basic biochemical principles is presented first. Then PCR and cloning using E. coli hosts and plasmid, phage and hybrid vectors are described, followed by the generation and screening of libraries and how to modify, inactivate or express cloned sequences. Finally genetic manipulation in a range of other organisms is discussed, including other bacteria, fungi, algae and plants, insects and mammals. A series of 'real-life' biological problems are also presented to enable readers to assess their understanding of the material and to prepare for exams.

With the birth of "Dolly," a sheep cloned from an adult-sheep tissue cell, a seemingly fantastic technique once confined to the fertile imaginations of science fiction writers has suddenly become pres
