First cloned primate by embryo splitting; major biotechnology milestone, though less public than later SCNT clones.
Scoring methodology
Semos was a nine-year-old male rhesus macaque residing at the Oregon National Primate Research Center. In 2007, scientists led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov successfully utilized Semos's skin cells to create cloned embryonic stem cells. This marked the first time primate embryonic stem cells were extracted...
Why this score
Cells enabled cloned primate embryonic stem cells; strong scientific significance, low public name recognition.
