Epigenetic risks of cloning

"In Epigenetic Risks of Cloning, 32 leading researchers detail the cloning methods being employed with various animal models, providing both a review of current findings and a discussion of potential concerns. Less than four percent of reconstructed embryos typically develop to adulthood, the cumulative result of inefficiencies occurring at every stage of development. This book considers the very real consequences of those inefficiencies: high rates of fetal, perinatal, and neonatal loss, as well as the production of abnormal offspring. At present, there is a legitimate concern that the propensity for epigenetic errors could be paralleled in human embryos." "Epigenetic Risks of Cloning offers readers the opportunity to become acquainted with the current state of cloning, both the methods being utilized, and the risks being realized."--Jacket.
