Group 1 - The first cloned yak was born at the Tibet (Dangxiong) Golden Silk Wild Yak Breeding Research Base, a collaboration between Zhejiang University and the Tibet Plateau Biological Research Institute [2] - The cloned yak weighs 33.5 pounds and is larger than a typical newborn calf, attributed to the genetic background of the breeding process [3] - The research aims to address the fragmentation of yak populations and enhance genetic diversity through advanced breeding techniques, significantly reducing the time required for developing superior yak breeds [2][4] Group 2 - The team has developed industry-level techniques for in vitro maturation of oocytes and somatic cell cloning, establishing a rapid breeding technology platform for Tibetan yaks [4] - This technology platform is expected to better protect yak genetic resources, expand high-quality populations, and promote the conservation of wild yak species [4]
