1. Cloning
   [programming] In computer science, cloning refers to the making of an exact copy of an object, frequently under the paradigm of instance-based programming, or object-oriented programming(OOP). ==Shallow copies== In most programming languages (exceptions include: Ruby), primitive types such a...

4. cloning
   An in vitro procedure in which a particular sequence of DNA (e.g., a gene) is reproduced in large amounts by inserting ('splicing') it into a suitable replicon, introducing the resultant recombinant (hybrid) molecule into a cell in which it can replicate, and finally growing the cells in culture.

5. cloning
   Technique of creating a group of genetically identical cells or DNA molecules from a single ancestor. In horticulture, cloned plants are reproduced asexually from a single parent.

6. Cloning
   In this process one gene is isolated and inserted into a vector which has the capacity to transport genes into a host cell. Ideally the vector replicates itself and the gene which it is to carry inside the host.

9. Cloning
   Cloning: The process of making a clone, a genetically identical copy. Cloning can refer to the technique of producing a genetically identical copy of an organism by replacing the nucleus of an unfertilized ovum with the nucleus of a body cell from the organism. The first adult mammal cloned was Dolly the Sheep in 1997.

12. Cloning
    While Dolly the sheep settles into old age (and prematurely advanced arthritis), scientists continue to churn out carbon copies of cows, pigs, mice, goats, cats and maybe even humans. Last year saw not only the birth of a cloned calico cat called CC (the sole survivor of 87 embryos) but also the wid...
