Happy birthday to Dolly the sheep! Dolly, the female sheep born 5 July 1996, was a trailblazer. She was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.
Dolly was cloned from a mammary cell, and her name is a tribute to Dolly Parton. 🐡🧪 #histsci

I still find the naming offensive: On Dolly's name, Wilmut stated "Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn't think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton's."
