Dolly the sheep is created and born at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, which is funded by Scotland's Roslin Institute and biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics and the Ministry of Agriculture in Great Britain.
The ewe is born in 1996 and announced to the world as the first successfully cloned mammal the following year. She is genetically identical to the sheep her DNA was extracted from, and has no genetics of the surrogate sheep that carried her. This advancement propels the biotechnology industry forward.
