'''Dolly''' (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a [[sheep]], remarkable in being the first [[mammal]] to be [[Cloning|cloned]] from an adult somatic [[cell]].  

Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a [[sheep]], remarkable in being the first [[mammal]] to be [[Cloning|cloned]] from an adult somatic [[cell]].  

A [[somatic cell]] is a regular body cell, not an [[egg cell]]. The [[nucleus]] of the somatic cell was removed and put into an unfertilised egg cell. The process is called [[somatic cell nuclear transfer]].<ref>{{Cite journal|author=McLaren A |title=Cloning: pathways to a pluripotent future |journal=Science |volume=288 |issue=5472 |pages=1775–80 |year=2000 |pmid=10877698 |doi=10.1126/science.288.5472.1775}}</ref><ref name=Wilmut>{{Cite journal|author=Wilmut I,  |display-authors = etal |title=Viable offspring derived from fetal and adult mammalian cells |journal=Nature |volume=385 |issue=6619 |pages=810–3 |year=1997 |pmid=9039911 | doi=10.1038/385810a0 |bibcode=1997Natur.385..810W}}</ref>  She was cloned at the [[Roslin Institute]] in [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]].
