As a result, it was decided to name the cloned cow Flower, in honor of the fibroblast cell line used as the nucleus donor for cloning.
And now, a few years later, Flower gave birth to a calf that was decided to be called the Decembrist. According to scientists, such an unusual name was chosen because of his birthday, which falls on December 30, 2022.
Pyotr Vladimirovich Sergiev, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, one of the study’s authors, believes that genomic editing methods and reproductive technologies will soon lead to the creation of farm animals with improved characteristics. This technology will help create animals with improved traits such as disease resistance.
