What is somatic cell nuclear transfer?

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory technique where the nucleus of a somatic cell (e.g., skin cell) is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. This process creates a cloned embryo that can develop into an organism genetically identical to the somatic cell donor.

How does somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) work in the process of cloning?

Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a cloning technique where the nucleus of a somatic cell (any cell in the body except for reproductive cells) is transferred into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed. This creates an embryo that is genetically identical to the donor of the somatic cell.
