Cloning of Mammals or Hello, Dolly

N/A

March 1997 [posted]

Cloning is currently a non-print entry term to the MeSH heading CLONING, MOLECULAR. That is, the term CLONING does not exist in Index Medicus or MEDLINE but if a searcher types in 'cloning' online, articles indexed with CLONING, MOLECULAR will be retrieved. This is in the process of being changed. Since the advent of Dolly, it is expected that users will want to search with the term 'cloning' to retrieve articles about non-molecular cloning. Therefore, for the remainder of the 1997 indexing year, the entry term 'cloning' coordinated with *GENETIC ENGINEERING will be used to allow online retrieval on the subject of mammalian cloning; the MeSH Section will create an appropriate term for this literature for 1998.

The strategy that follows may be used to retrieve the original article in Nature on the transplantation procedure used to create Dolly in Scotland.
