Scientists try to clone rhesus monkeys
Scientists try to clone rhesus monkeys Scientists in the U.S. are attempting to clone
Rhesus monkeys in order to create a supply of genetically identical
animals for use in research. Since primates are so genetically
similar to humans, a large supply of Rhesus monkeys could be an
important boost for medical research. However, it could still be a
number of years before scientists successfully clone a Rhesus
monkey. 9 APRIL 1999
