Another episode with Adriana and Ute. Today they talk about the recent birth of a cloned Przewalski horse and how cloning of horses is done. Adriana who has done a lot of reproductive medicine in horses tells us the different steps involved, how difficult and expensive it is and we discuss the question whether it makes sense to clone a horse six times to get a whole polo team of horses which are basically the same. If you have always wanted to know how cloning works, listen in, it is going to be interesting!
