However, effective pig somatic cell nuclear transfer, avoiding the sexual reproduction pathway, creates a possibility of providing numerous monoge- netic and monosexual offspring derived not only from genetically-transformed individuals, but also from adult (postpubertal) animals of high genetic merit. Generation of cloned transgenic pigs for biomedical purposes to obtain recombinant xenogeneic proteins or organs suitable in xenotransplantology, or to create cell (gene) therapy foundations for a number of serious monogenic diseases that induce heritable (congenital) developmental anomalies, is perceived as a service to humanity.}, type={Text}, title={The role of pig in somatic cell cloning and transgenesis}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/87768/PDF/POZN271_114732_biotechnologia-2006-no1-samiec.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
