In image-editing programs, the process of replacing part of an image by copying another area of the image over it. Often used to remove or add objects to a digital image, or to cover dust spots and other image imperfections.
A form of artificial reproduction in which the offspring produced is genetically identical to the individual from whom he or she originated. Reproduction is achieved without sexual union and without the union of gametes.
The intentional creation of an embryo that would be genetically identical to another human, foetus or embryo. Techniques of cloning: Embryo splitting An early stage embryo is split into two or more genetically identical embryos. Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) The transfer of the nucleus from a somatic cell of an individual into an egg from which the nucleus has been removed. A somatic cell can be any cell found within the human body except the sperm or egg (ie. germ) cell. The resulting embryo would be genetically identical to that of the individual. There are two reasons to clone: Reproductive The use of a cloned embryo for transplantation into a uterus with the intention of producing offspring genetically identical to a living or dead person. Therapeutic The use of a cloned embryo produced via SCNT for the purpose of deriving stem cells for medical/research uses. (The stem cells would be immunologically compatible with that of the somatic cell donor.)
a term that is applied to genes, cells or entire organisms that are derived from, and are genetically identical to, a single common ancestor gene, cell, or organism, respectively
To obtain a group of organisms derived from a single individual by various types of asexual reproduction.
Procedure based on nuclear transfer, which involves the use of two cells. The recipient cell is normally an unfertilized egg. The donor cell is the one to be copied. The recipient cell's DNA is removed, then the donor cell, complete with its nucleus, is fused with the recipient egg. Some fused cells start to develop like a normal embryo and produce offspring if implanted into the uterus of a surrogate mother.
A procedure that copies the RAM contents (configuration, formats, fonts, pages, and graphics) from the memory of one printer to the memory of another.
a process of producing cells and living things with identical
Production of genetically identical cells from a single starting cell.
Originally a botanical term meaning asexual reproduction, or reproduction by "budding" rather than by genetic recombination involving an egg and a sperm. Animals can be cloned either by splitting an embryo during cleavage (nature does this in producing monozygotic twinning) or by inserting an adult cell nucleus into a suitably primed secondary oocyte, a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (and generally still very inefficient, resulting in a new developing embryo in at most a few percent of attempts). See also therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning.
The process of making an identical copy of something. The term is used when making copies of a piece of DNA, usually a gene (molecular cloning), culturing cells (cell cloning) or making copies of a living organism (for example, animal cloning).
Cloning is a type of backup which allows users to copy the whole partition or disc to another partition or disc with all files and folders. If the partition is bootable, the cloned partition will become bootable too.
Reproducing without combining genetic material from the mother and father.
A process in image-editing programs that allows a part of the image to be copied onto another image or another part of the same image.
The production of a clone. (For the purpose of this report, generating an individual animal or person that derives its nuclear genes from a diploid cell taken from an embryo, fetus, or born individual of the same species.)
the production of organisms, cells or micro-organisms from a single parent by asexual means.
a general term for the research activity that creates a copy of some biological entity (a gene or organism or cell)
a simpler method, whereby DNA is extracted from a host then replicated using plasmids
a technique for reproducing DNA fragments
a technique that allows the wholesale production of a specific DNA sequence
In z/VM®, a copying technique that preserves the characteristics of the original but personalizes instance-specific data. The result of a cloning operation is new instance of an entity (for example, of a virtual disk, a virtual computer system, or an operating system) rather than a backup of the original.
the process used to make genetically identical copies of an organism.
The isolation of a particular gene or DNA sequence, e.g. from a library. In recombinant technology, genes or DNA sequences are cloned by inserting them into a bacterium or other microorganism, which is then selected and propagated. See also Positional cloning.

Often, at inaccurately, use to refer to the propagation of animals by nuclear transfer.
Taking body (i.e., non-sex) cells from an adult and introducing them into an unfertilized egg that has had its genetic material removed, and then encouraging embryo development.

the process of making genetically identical copies, acheived in mammals by somatic cell nuclear transfer. (See also Reproductive cloning and Therapeutic cloning.)
The formation of clones or exact genetic replicas.
the process of producing a genetically identical group of cells from a single ancestor.
a form of asexual reproduction in which an exact genetic copy of an adult organism is reproduced. Asexual reproduction is the norm for certain simple life forms, like bacteria, yeasts, certain plants, and some snails and shrimp. More complex organisms reproduce sexually, which allows for reshuffling of the genetic material of two individuals to produce a third unique individual who is different from both parents, but who has some traits from each one. This process leads to diversity within a population. Each offspring is then different from its siblings and also from its parents.

the cloned embryo is replaced into the uterus of a mature female of the species where it may implant and grow See the INCIID April 2004 Article: Cloning What's it All About? by Carlene Elsner, M.D.
the cloned embryo is grown in the laboratory. The cells from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst when grown in tissue culture can sometimes produce a stem cell line. As with reproductive cloning, the success rate is low for the production of stem cell lines. However, if a stem cell line is produced, these cells are very primitive and totipotent which means that they have the potential to develop into any and all of the different cell types in the body. Also, the stem cell line is a perfect genetic match to the parent. See the INCIID April 2004 Article: Cloning What's it All About? by Carlene Elsner, M.D.

Producing a stock of individuals all derived asexually from one sexually produced
Using specialized DNA technology to produce multiple, exact copies of a single gene or other segment of DNA to obtain enough material for further study. This process is used by researchers in the Human Genome Project, and is referred to as cloning DNA. The resulting cloned (copied) collections of DNA molecules are called clone libraries. A second type of cloning exploits the natural process of cell division to make many copies of an entire cell. The genetic makeup of these cloned cells, called a cell line, is identical to the original cell. A third type of cloning produces complete, genetically identical organisms.
the use of DNA manipulation procedures to produce multiple copies of a single gene or segment of DNA is referred to as cloning DNA.

The process of asexually producing a group of cells (clones), all genetically identical, from a single ancestor.
The technique used to produce copies of a piece of DNA. A DNA fragment that contains a gene of interest is inserted into the genome of a virus or plasmid which is then allowed to replicate.
The process in which an organism produces one or more genetically alike copies of itself by asexual means. Cloning may occur by propagation of cuttings, as in the case of plants; continual budding, in hydra; fission, in bacteria and protozoa; parthenogenic asexual reproduction in aphids; or somatic cell nuclear transfer, in higher order animals such as mammals. The term cloning is also applied to cells undergoing replication by repetitive mitoses (cell divisions) which produces cells that are genetically identical to one another.

Molecular cloning: propagation of a single gene or segment of DNA in a host cell after molecular recombination in vitro using a suitable vector (plasmid or phage). Organisms that contain genetically engineered molecules are referred to as recombinants.
Cloning creates a genetically identical copy of an animal or plant. Cloning is the process of making copies of a specific piece of DNA, usually a gene. When geneticists speak of cloning, they do not mean the process of making genetically identical copies of an entire organism. [Talking Glossary
Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of something. In Biology, it collectively refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments (Molecular Cloning), Cells (Genetic Cloning), or organisms. The term also encompases situations, whereby organisms reproduce asexually, but in common parlance refers to intentionally created copies of organisms.
Cloning refers to the making of an exact copy of an object, frequently under the paradigm of instance-based programming, or object-oriented programming.
