Dolly was the first mammal cloned using the nuclear transfer prosess. She was cloned as a part of a project in Edinburgh, Scotland. Dolly was born on July 5th 1996 and died from a lung disease in 2003. The cloning of Dolly proved that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate a whole individual. The cloning also made Dolly into one of the worlds most famous sheeps. The name Dolly was inspired from the singer "Dolly Parton".
