Seven-month-old Dolly (centre), the genetically cloned sheep, with pen mates Megan and Morag, at the Roslin Institute. It was revealed that Dolly, the first animal to be genetically cloned from adult cells, got her name from Country singer Dolly Parton. * Dr Ian Wilmut, who co-ordinated the work at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, told a news conference: She was derived as you know from mammary cells and the people who were looking after her could not think of a more impressive set of mammary cells than those that belong to Dolly Parton.
