A fleece from Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal, has been donated to National Museums Dolly sheep museum. Dolly the sheep was born in at the Roslin Institute just outside Edinburgh, where she lived until her death in Equipment, including sharpened glass pipettes and an electrical fusion machine have also been gifted. He said: "When Dolly the sheep was introduced to the world the scientific community went wild, dolly sheep museum.

Dolly was born as part of a series of experiments at the Roslin Institute, when a better method of producing genetically modified livestock was being developed. If successful, this would mean fewer animals would need to be used in future experiments. Scientists at Roslin also wanted to learn more about how cells change during development and whether a specialised cell, such as a skin or brain cell, could be used to make a whole new animal. Due to the nature of the research, the team was made up of people with a range of skillsets, including scientists, embryologists, surgeons, vets and farm staff. Dolly was cloned from a cell taken from the mammary gland of a six-year-old Finn Dorset sheep and an egg cell taken from a Scottish Blackface sheep. She was born to her Scottish Blackface surrogate mother on 5 July

The fleece has been donated to the national collections by Dr William A Ritchie, an embryologist on the team that created Dolly — who was named after singer Dolly Parton. Dolly the sheep was born in at the Roslin Institute just outside Edinburgh , where she spent her entire life, gave birth to six healthy lambs and died in aged six. Her coat of wool has been gifted to National Museums Scotland along with laboratory equipment, including sharpened glass pipettes, a microscope and an electrical fusion machine. The fleece and tools join a range of material on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh associated with Dolly, including her preserved body, death mask and fellow preserved cloned sheep Morag and Megan. Preserved on a custom-built fibre glass frame, Dolly has been on display at the museum for nearly 20 years and remains one of its most popular exhibits.

A fleece from Dolly, the world's first cloned sheep, will go on display at National Museums Scotland. The museum in Edinburgh already has her preserved body, death mask and fellow cloned sheep Morag and Megan on display. Now the fleece has been donated by Dr William A Ritchie, an embryologist on the team that created Dolly. Dolly the sheep was born in at the Roslin Institute just outside Edinburgh, where she spent her entire life, gave birth to six healthy lambs and died in aged six. Her coat of wool has been donated along with laboratory equipment, including sharpened glass pipettes, a microscope and an electrical fusion machine. The tools were crucial to the success of the Roslin Institute's groundbreaking cloning procedure. Dolly's preserved body has been on display at the museum for nearly 20 years and remains one of its most popular exhibits. Sophie Goggins, the museum's senior curator of biomedical science, said: "Dolly the sheep represents one of the most important scientific advances of the 20th century.

She was born to her Scottish Blackface surrogate mother on 5 July Dolly was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. Her birth proved that specialised cells could be used to create an exact copy of the animal they came from. This knowledge changed what scientists thought was possible and opened up a lot of possibilities in biology and medicine, including the development of personalised stem cells, known as iPS cells. However, Dolly was not the first ever cloned mammal.
