Biologist Helena Fulková becomes first Czech scientist to clone mouse

Helena Fulková has become the first Czech scientist to clone a mouse. The biologist conducted the cloning in Japan, one of the leading countries in that area of science. Ms. Fulková told the Czech News Agency she had succeeded in cloning six baby mice, most of which were still alive. She had been working on research into genetically modified mice at a university in Tokyo and said she only carried out the cloning at the suggestion of a colleague in order to enhance a paper they were working on together.
