Cloned DNA molecules must be made progressively smaller and the fragments subcloned into new vectors to obtain fragments small enough for use with current sequencing technology.

What have we learned from Dolly?
Sometime around 1993, I wrote the following, which appears on page 409 of my text Biology. "Clearly, someone will eventually clone a mammal, even a human.

clone -- An identical copy of an organism. Most plants, fungi, algae, and many other organisms naturally reproduce by making clones of themselves as a form of asexual reproduction.
Clone: A group of genetically identical cells or o rganisms that are descended from one parent. Identical twins are clones, as are colonies of bacteria that reproduce by simple cell division.
Clone
noun Is frequently used to mean a DNA molecule which has been replicated in a micro-organism such as a bacterium or yeast to make many thousands or millions of identical molecules.
Clone
Cells derived from a single cell and thus expected to be genetically identical.
Cloning
The production of multiple, genetically identical molecules of DNA, cells, or organisms.
clone seq Clones that are mapped onto the genome sequence include annotation units (e.g. BACS used to assemble the genome sequence), full length cDNAs and expressed sequence tags.
Clone. An exact genetic replica of a specific gene or an entire organism. See Cloning.
clone An exact copy of a DNA segment; produced by recombinant DNA technology.
closed community A community in which populations have similar range boundaries and density peaks; forms a discrete unit with sharp boundaries.
clone
[Gk. klon, twig]
(1) A lineage of genetically identical individuals or cells. (2) In popular usage, a single individual organism that is genetically identical to another individual.
clone
A lineage of genetically identical individuals.

A type of internal transport in which blood is confined to vessels.
Clone - All the cells derived from a single cell by repeated cell division and having the same genetic constitution.

Cloning Using specialized DNA technology to produce multiple, exact copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA to obtain enough material for further study.
Clone
An exact copy of biological material such as a DNA segment (e.g., a gene or other region), a whole cell, or a complete organism.

In clone-based sequencing (also known as hierarchical shotgun sequencing) the first step is mapping. One first constructs a map of the chromosomes, marking them at regular intervals of about 100 kilobases (kb).
The term clone is used in horticulture to mean all descendants of a single plant, produced by vegetative reproduction.
3. What is a Clone?
In biotechnology, one meaning of the term "clone" is any living organism (or the production of such an organism) with genetic material that is identical to that of the parent organism from which it was created.
Working from a flanking DNA marker, overlapping clones are successively identified that span a chromosomal region of interest. (See Chromosome.) Cistron. A DNA sequence that codes for a specific polypeptide; a gene. See DNA, Gene. Clone.
Clone -- genetically engineered replicas of DNA sequences. Cloned DNA -- any DNA fragment that passively replicates in the host organism after it has been joined to a cloning vector.
Library A collection of clones or DNA fragments which contains all of the sequences present in the source.
And then you can isolate one colony of bacteria and clone that, grow that clone up, and that's how you would propagate that.
At the Roslin Institute in Scotland, scientists successfully cloned an exact copy of a sheep, named 'Dolly'. This was the first successful cloning of an animal, and most likely the first occurrence of two organisms being genetically identical.
Å The resulting cloned (copied) collections of DNA molecules are called clone libraries. A second type of cloning exploits the natural process of cell division to make many copies of an entire cell.
Histochemical, immunohistochemical and functional analysis of the resulting cybrids all showed a pattern in the PD clones indicative of a mtDNA mutation.
The stimulated B cell undergoes repeated cell divisions, enlargement and differentiation to form a clone of antibody secreting plasma cells. Hence.
Cloning animals refers to producing offspring that are genetically identical to the animal being cloned. This process has been done by removing the nucleus of an egg and replacing it with a diploid nucleus from the organism to be cloned.
When treating a bacterial disease, a drug that kills one bacteria of a specific type will normally kill all other members of that clone (colony) it comes in contact with. Evolution requires genetic variation on which to operate.
Monoclonal antibody An antibody derived from a clone-a large number of cells that are all descended from the same cell and have identical properties.
An immunoglobulin secreted by a single clone of antibody producing cells, and therefore monospecific.
Since bacteria reproduce asexually all of its descendents are clones. Since reproduction is not perfect mutations happen. The experimenter can set the environment so that mutations for a particular attribute are selected.
