Clones aren’t all work

University of Hawaii professor Ryuzo Yanagimachi, below right, and
Dr. Hidenori Akutsu of Japan, who is working with "Yana" on a
fellowship, display one of six cloned mice that left here yesterday for
Chicago. Akutsu is laughing because the mouse is chewing on him.
Dr. Patricia Ward of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
selected the mice for a permanent exhibit on genetics, opening in
about a year. Until then, the mice will be in a temporary exhibit.
Cumulina, the famed first mouse cloned by "Team Yana" a little
more than two years ago, remains in her home lab.
