They think that part of the reason Dolly died young was because her TELOMERES had already degraded on her first day of life:
She was born “old”.

Those are like telomeres, which cap chromosomes to prevent them from fraying, and over time they degrade a bit.
So, we won't have to worry about Hillary clones...
Interesting.
That’s an aglet. On the shoelaces. I learned something from Phineas and Ferb.
How can one not help but expand his/her knowledge base by reading FR? Thanks for the post.
