One interesting thing to note. As for the similar-but-not-identical problem, well, what did they expect when they tried to clone a calico? Somebody must have known quite well that calico genes are expressed to a degree somewhat dependent on fetal development interaction and wanted to show that genetic identity still has uniqueness through some developmental factors. 'Identical' multiple births of calicos don't even look precisely identical.

Or they just plum fergot. Duh Aggies.

I heard a report on CNN that this was not intended for 'pet replacement'.

Is it just me or was that article repeated twice? Was it cloned? Was that some sort of tribute to the "copycat" thing?
