The panel said in its final report that "the 2004 paper included manipulated images and data similar to the 2005 paper. We concluded that the cloned embryonic stem cells Hwang claimed to have produced in the 2004 paper were not developed by somatic cell nuclear transfer, but by parthenogenesis." Parthenogenesis means reproduction from an ovum without fertilization. However, the panel has confirmed as a result of DNA fingerprinting analysis that Snuppy, the cloned dog, was actually cloned. SNU investigators also discovered that 2,061 ova extracted from 129 women at four hospitals were supplied to Hwang's team from November 2002 to last November. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
