Timeline of Notable Cloning Developments Dec 27, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- 1952: Scientists demonstrate they can remove the nucleus from a frog egg, replace it with the nucleus of an embryonic frog cell, and get the egg to develop into a tadpole. This "nuclear transfer" transplants an animal's genes to an egg. The tadpole is a clone of the embryo that donated its nucleus. 1975: Scientists get tadpoles after transferring cell nuclei from adult frogs. 1986: Sheep cloned by nuclear transfer from embryonic cells. 1997: Scientists reveal Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from cells of an adult animal. 1998: More than 50 mice reported cloned from a single adult mouse over several generations. Eight calves reported cloned from a single adult cow. 2000: Pigs and goats reported cloned from adult cells. 2001: Advanced Cell Technology of Worcester, Mass., says it produced a six-cell cloned human embryo, in research aimed at harvesting stem cells. 2002: Rabbits and a kitten reported cloned from adult cells. Dec. 27, 2002: Clonaid claims to produce first human clone, a baby girl.
