-
A cloned pet is akin to an identical twin of the donor pet, albeit born months or years later. Both the donor pet and the cloned pet share the same genomic sequence information, resulting in nearly identical genetic makeup and characteristics.
-
Upon delivery of the cloned pet, we will provide a test report from a reputable third-party identification laboratory. This report will confirm that the DNA homogeneity between the donor and the clone is over 99%, ensuring the authenticity of the cloning process.
-
If your pet has recently passed away unexpectedly and you're considering cloning, it's important to follow these steps:
1. Do not freeze the body. Instead, wrap it in a wet towel and keep it refrigerated.
2. Contact us promptly to receive guidance on how to collect biopsy samples.
3. Send the collected biopsy samples to Peternity Genetics as soon as possible.
These steps will help ensure the best chances for successful cloning.
-
Expert Consultation: Begin by consulting with PETernity Genetics for advice and information regarding DNA preservation.
Sample Collection: Arrange for a small piece of your pet's skin tissue to be collected by a trusted veterinarian.
Sample Processing: The collected tissue undergoes a process where living cells are cultured and then preserved by freezing them in liquid nitrogen for permanent storage.
-
Yes, it is indeed possible to perform cell preservation after a pet has passed away. However, the success and viability of preserving genetic material may vary depending on the condition of the remains and the promptness of the sampling process, as well as the shipping conditions for the samples.
-
No, the tissue biopsy process is generally safe and does not cause harm to your pet. It is a routine procedure that can be performed by your veterinarian without causing any significant discomfort. Your pet should fully recover within a few days after the biopsy.
-
Yes, the lifespan of a cloned pet is typically normal. Animal somatic cell cloning technology has been successful for over 20 years. During this time, it has been demonstrated that many cloned species have comparable lifespans to their naturally born counterparts.
-
The success rate of cloning pets is theoretically over 99% if live somatic cells are successfully collected from the donor pet.
-
No, the age of the donor pet does not directly impact the cloning process as live somatic cells are used, regardless of the pet's age.
However, we recommend early Cell Preservation whenever possible. This is because cell viability decreases with age, which can lower the success rate of pet cloning. Collecting somatic cells from younger pets tends to be easier and may lead to higher success rates in cloning.
-
The personality of a cloned pet is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors. Since the genetic material of the cloned animal is derived from the donor, its genetically-determined personality traits and level of intelligence are similar to that of the donor pet. However, acquired socialization, interactions, and training will also play a role in shaping the final personality and behavior of the cloned pet.
-
Yes, cloned pets can reproduce just like naturally born animals.
-
The timeline for a dog cloning project, conservatively speaking, is up to 10 months. After the client signs the cloning technology service agreement and submits the down payment for the project, we begin preparing for the cloned embryo transfer. A B-ultrasound test is conducted on the pregnant dog, and we provide updates to the client regarding the birth and growth of the puppy. The puppy will be delivered at around 3 months of age.
This process ensures transparency and keeps the customer informed at every step of the cloning journey, providing reassurance regarding the success of the cloning process.
-
A cloned pet is a healthy individual that develops and grows from an embryo. It will create its own memories as it grows. This process begins anew for the cloned pet. It's important to note that there is currently no scientific method to transfer memories from one pet's brain to another, so cloned pets do not inherit the memories of their donors.
-
While theoretically, skin samples are not mandatory, it is generally more successful to use somatic cells extracted from skin tissues for cloning. Skin samples are relatively easy to obtain and are preferred for their viability. It's important to note that dead cells cannot be utilized for cloning. Therefore, to ensure the smooth progress of the cloning process, it is advisable to opt for cell preservation services in advance. This allows for the preservation of suitable somatic cells in preparation for cloning.
-
The process typically takes up to 5 weeks. Upon completion, the client will be promptly notified of the results of the cell culture.
