Three decades after Dolly the sheep, animal cloning is big business
By Peter de Kruijff and James Bullen
We visited a commercial horse cloning farm on the outskirts of Sydney to find out just how far the technology has come since Dolly the sheep's birth back in 1996.

I want to talk about fruit fly gene names because they're fun.* Those of us who study genetics using fruit flies name a gene based on the properties of the flies in which that gene is mutated. This is a tradition over a century old, from when Thomas Hunt Morgan found a fly with white eyes (normal flies have red eyes) and called the gene "white." *There is a huge asterisk here and we'll get to it.
