Dolly, the sheep, became a scientific sensation when her birth was announced in 1996.
Now, 14 years on, the scientist, who cloned Dolly, has claimed to have created four more sheep who are the exact genetic duplicates of Dolly, the worlds first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell.
The cloning of Dolly was a long and tortuous process. In all, 277 eggs were used and only one lamb Dolly survived. And, this time, only five embryos were needed to produce each one of the Dollies.
