Where Can I Find the First Paper on Cloning?

I'm not getting much success with Google - does anyone know where I could find the first paper on cloning ever written?

or maybe something like one of the most hyped papers in the field?

There is a short bibliography on p130 of http://books.google.com/books?id=EGSi1Kur8cUC&source=gbs_navlinks_s. The earlist references are from the mid 1970s.

Are you talking about "cloning" in "theory" or are you talking about somatic cell nuclear transfer (that process made famous by certain sheep http://images.paraorkut.com/img/emoticons/images/s/sheep-93.gif )?

If the latter, I'd try Google scholar

I am happy to assist with your query. The earliest paper on cloning was published in 1952 by Robert Briggs and Thomas King. The paper, titled "Transplantation of Living Nuclei from Blastula Cells into Enucleated Frogs' Eggs," described their successful experiments with cloning tadpoles from frog embryo cells. This groundbreaking research laid the foundation for future cloning studies and opened the door to a new field of science. You can easily find this paper by searching for the authors' names and the title of the paper on academic databases such as PubMed or Google Scholar. I hope this helps in your research.
