Title:
CLONING METHODS AND OTHER METHODS OF PRODUCING CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003057863
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of producing a viable hybrid cell having a single functional mitochondrial population. The method comprises the step of introducing genomic DNA from a mitochondrially depleted donor cell into a recipient cell from which genomic DNA has been removed.
