-Tech report [] message: it is contrary to reports, the Korea scientists announced today that they have successfully developed the world's first to clone the Wolf, the technology will help save endangered species in Korea.

Researchers showed that only one and a half years before the birth of a cloned Wolf. Is now before the announcement, most likely due to the special review, but this is largely affected by the cheating scandal before.

Responsible for the project team of Professor Li Byong, said the research results will be published in a forthcoming issue of the cloning and stem cell "magazine," normally, academic journals are not required to verify the mitochondrial DNA, but due to some problems before, but now need to make this known. "

Li Byong also said that the success of the clone Wolf will contribute to the protection of endangered species. In the last 20 years, Korea had been rare in the wild Wolf tracks just in Seoul a Zoo has approximately 10 Wolf.

Responsible for the subject of Korea Seoul University research group has pioneered the successful 2005 to produce the world's first cloned dog, Nubian (snuppy), this outcome was also named the time magazine in 2005, one of the most surprising discovery. At that time, the Group's leader was subsequently broke academic cheating scandal of Hwang Woo-Suk 's. Last December, the Group once again successful cultivation of three clone dog.
