Sinogene Biotechnology began by offering cloning dogs in 2017[8] and introduced cat cloning in 2019.[9] In 2022, they cloned an Arctic wolf,[10] and started horse cloning in 2023.[11]

Cloning

In 2022, Sinogene made history by being the first to clone a wild Arctic wolf.[12] The donor cell came from a wild female Arctic wolf, the oocyte was from a female dog, and the surrogate was a beagle.[12] The company transferred 85 embryos into seven beagles and one Arctic wolf was born.[13] In June of the same year, Sinogene cloned a male horse using skin cells from a horse born in 1995.[14]

Sinogene clients can harvest cells from their living pets, to one day use in the cloning process after their pet dies.[15] Customers receive their cloned animals three months after they are born.[15]

Partnership

Sinogene partnered with Beijing Wildlife Park in 2022 to work together on improving breeding for endangered animals as well as improving ways to protect endangered animals.[13][16]
