The Afghan hound named Snuppy is the world’s first cloned dog, scientists confirmed. It has come as a relief to his creator, who has been discredited all through and controversy has long surrounded him.
Using blood samples from Snuppy, the cell donor dog and the surrogate mother, a panel of experts at Seoul National University and researchers in the United States carried out similar DNA experiments. According to them, the results showed he was cloned by researchers led by once disgraced South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk.
Elaine Ostrander of the National Human Genome Research Institute, in Bethesda, Maryland said, “These data are consistent with Snuppy being a genetic clone of the donor dog Tai.”
