RE: FW: [RC] Cloning/Larmarck/Bey Shah Temperament - heidi

Re: [RC]   Cloning/Larmarck/Bey Shah TemperamentThe process of cloning
leaves the mitochondrial DNA of the birth mare in the cells, so the total
cellular genome of the clone is different from that of the original.



Good point.  And although the connection between mtDNA and energy utilization 
has not been established, the fact that the mitochondria regulate energy usage 
makes this a particular area of interest.

Also keep in mind that "environment" begins at conception--so the cloned foal 
at birth has already had 11 months of a different environment than the 
chromosome donor did.
