Highlights

  • Cloned mammals produced by nuclear transfer (NT) are genetic duplicates of the donor cell nuclear genome

  • In the somatic cell nuclear transfer procedure foreign mitochondria are introduced into the enucleated recipient oocyte, clonal offspring may not be genetically identical to the donor cell mitochondrial genome

  • If nuclear recipient ooplasts are not derived from the same maternal lineage as the donor nuclei a high level of mitochondrial genotype heterogeneity often occurs in clonal embryos and resultant offspring as a result of the variability of specific mtDNA nucleotide sequences (Plante et al, 1992; Campbell, 1999a,b; Steinborn et al, 1998b; Hiendleder et al, 1999, 2004; Smith et al, 2000)
