- Scientists found that mammals cannot be cloned indefinitely, showing a limit before 'mutational meltdown'.
- The experiment, involving 1,200 clones from a single mouse over 20 years, ended as the 58th generation did not survive.
- The cloning technique, called serial cloning, was once considered promising for conservation and mass animal production.
