Scientists at National University of Singapore took 5 years and $1.5million to develop new cloning capabilities.
They have become the first to clone an animal by fertilising an egg with an embryonic stem cell that mimics sperm.
Their research has the potential to allow scientists to study and treat genes that cause diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
The molecular biologists behind the project are Associate Professor Hong Yunhan, Dr Yi Meisheng and Ms Hong Ni.
