somatic cell transfer

**Post Tag Description for “somatic cell transfer”:**

Somatic cell transfer refers to a technique in biotechnology and cloning where the nucleus of a somatic cell (any body cell excluding sperm and egg cells) is transferred into an egg cell that has had its own nucleus removed. This process is a key step in cloning and regenerative medicine, allowing the creation of genetically identical organisms or cells. It is widely used in research for therapeutic cloning, animal breeding, and the study of genetic diseases.
