Dolly Was Born

Dolly was a female domestic sheep, and the first animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute, part of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics, based near Edinburgh. She has been called "the world's most famous sheep".
 
Dolly had three mothers (one provided the egg, another the DNA and a third carried the cloned embryo to term). She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer. On Dolly's name, Wilmut stated "Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn't think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton's".

She was born on 5 July 1996 and died from a progressive lung disease 5 months before her seventh birthday.
