Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. The team at the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh led by British developmental biologist Ian Wilmut, achieved this remarkable feat. They used a process called nuclear transfer, where they took a cell from Dolly’s mammary gland and inserted its DNA into an egg. The implanted egg developed into a healthy sheep, and Dolly was born.
