Dolly (5 Julie 1996 – 14 Februar 2003) wis a female domestic sheep, an the first mammal cloned frae an adult somatic cell, uisin the process o nuclear transfer.[2][3] She wis cloned bi Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell an colleagues at the Roslin Institute, pairt o the Varsity o Edinburgh, Scotland, an the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics, based near Edinburgh. The fundin for Dolly's clonin wis providit bi PPL Therapeutics an the UK's Meenistry o Agricultur.[4] She wis born on 5 Julie 1996 an died frae a progressive lung disease five month afore her seivent birthday.[5] She haes been cried "the warld's maist famous sheep" bi soorces includin BBC News an Scientific American.[6][7]
The cell uised as the donor for the clonin o Dolly wis taken frae a mammary gland, an the production o a healthy clone tharefore proved that a cell taken frae a speceefic pairt o the bouk could recreate a whole individual. On Dolly's name, Wilmut stated "Dolly is derived frae a mammary gland cell an we couldn't think o a mair impressive pair o glands than Dolly Parton's".[1]
