Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around finding the earliest paper on cloning, with participants exploring both the historical context and specific references related to cloning research. The scope includes theoretical aspects of cloning as well as specific techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in locating the first paper on cloning using Google.
  • Another participant suggests looking for a highly regarded or "hyped" paper in the field.
  • A third participant provides a short bibliography of early references from the mid-1970s, including specific papers by Rougeon et al. (1975), Maniatis et al. (1976), and Rabbitts (1976), along with links to their PubMed entries.
  • A later reply questions whether the inquiry pertains to cloning in theory or specifically to somatic cell nuclear transfer, suggesting Google Scholar as a resource for the latter.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on what constitutes the "first" paper on cloning, as the discussion includes different interpretations of cloning and references to various early works.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects uncertainty regarding the definitions of cloning and the criteria for identifying the "first" paper, as well as the limitations of search tools like Google.

I'm not getting much success with Google - does anyone know where I could find the first paper on cloning ever written?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
or maybe something like one of the most hyped papers in the field?

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
