The first sheep cloned from differentiated cells were Megan and Morag in 1995 at the Roslin Institute, called 5LL2 and 5LL5 at birth. Contrary to popular belief, Dolly the sheep was not the first cloned sheep, but the first one cloned from AN ADULT CELL, in 1996. Dr. Steen Willadsen however, appears to have been the first to clone a sheep back in 1984, however he used immature embryonic cells.
