An interesting result has been stated as "The clones looked normal and lived as long as normal mice." in contrast to Dolly the Sheep who retained the genetic, cellular age of the parent sheep. Ie, if the parent was 14, Dolly was 14. Dolly would have died of old age prematurely. Though the embryo can partially repair some of the aging markers. Maybe de-aged 50%, give or take.

I would be a rich person if I would get a coin for each occasion some web developer has copied a folder on a server, leaving no comments (except for the new name ending in .orig) and simply walked away.

More than 50 % of files on web servers from past 2 decades is that kind of digiral crap someone needs to do research on.

So annoying.
