Talk:Dolly (sheep)

Cloners

"Dolly was cloned by Keith Campbell, Ian Wilmut and colleagues at the Roslin Institute,"

"Professor Ian Wilmut - the scientist widely credited for the research - that he did not create the animal after all. Speaking at an employment tribunal in Edinburgh, Prof Wilmut said he did not develop the technology or conduct the experiments, and played only a supervisory role." source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2006/mar/11/genetics.highereducation

The people who did the actual cloning were Karen Walker (nee Mycock) and Bill Richie. Prof Keith Campbell was the person who supervised, and co-authored the paper on the cloning of Dolly. 87.254.75.148 (talk) 12:48, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

So, Mojakabira added the whole section "Dolly in popular culture", but the real reason for this section is to promote their website about cryptocurrency. Person with the username Mojakabira is also the owner/admin of usdolly dot rocks website. Proof: usdolly.rocks/index.php/author/mojakabira/

Listed reference does not have a link to its source

Reference number 2 currently leads to a website called https://massmatch.org/ rather than a source. 2603:8000:6002:36A9:1C7E:E424:65A9:FC68 (talk) 00:14, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

The URL was usurped. I changed it to use its archive link. The DOI link and PMID link also work. Thanks, Dan Bloch (talk) 01:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 10 January 2026

Article states that Dolly was the "first animal cloned form an adult cell". This is false as Sir John Gurdon cloned frogs using differentiated skin cell nuclei. Dolly was the "first *mammal* cloned form an adult cell".

Donation of Dolly's body.

Hello! Dolly was obviously a female as she produced viable offspring. It would seem polite and biologically correct to make a revision in the following text: "Dolly's body was preserved and donated by the Roslin Institute in Scotland to the National Museum of Scotland, where IT has been regularly exhibited since 2003."
