(Advanced Cellular Technology press release, 28 April 1998) Transgenic animals are those in which a foreign gene is inserted into an animal's DNA sequence. July 1998: Scientists at the University of Hawaii developed a new method for performing SNT with a higher success rate, and also demonstrated that clones of clones (mice, in this case) are born healthy and fertile. (Leutwyler, Kristin. "Send in the ; Scientific American, 27 July 1998) June 1999: The first human clone was created by a private biotech company in Massachusetts. The clone was created through SNT by inserting a human nucleus into a cow egg, and allowing the embryo to grow to 12 days old. The company's goal was not reproductive cloning, but rather the cultivation of human stem cells. (Sung, Ellen. "First human embryo ; , 21 June 1999) March 2000: A litter of five piglets, all cloned from one adult, was born in Virginia ("This little piggy is a ; , 15 March 2000). Pigs have to date been the most promis- ing source of organs for transplant into humans. The ability to clone healthy pigs with predictable genes is one step towards successful transplantation; the other step is the ability to insert and knock out certain genes that would otherwise cause transplanted organs to. be rejected by the recipient. April 2000: Scientists in Europe have successfully performed nuclear transfers between human egg cells, a potential aid to women whose infertility is the
