Manipulating Stem Cells: Somatic cell nuclear transfer

Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a laboratory technique used to create an ovum with a donor nucleus. The nucleus is first removed from an egg cell. The nucleus from a somatic cell such as a skin cell is removed and implanted into the egg cell. The cell now divides to form a blastocyst. Embryonic stem cells can be removed from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.
