A California company is planning a string of online auctions next month to clone five dogs, with the bidding to start at $100,000.Scientists consider dogs among the most difficult animals to clone because they have an unusual reproductive biology, more so than humans. But the company behind the auctions, BioArts International, maintains that the technology is ready, and it is calling the dog

Last week, an expert committee in Japan's science ministry agreed to lift a 2001 ban on human cloning for research purposes. The amendment, expected to be effective later this year, maps out rigorous ethical regulations under which the research could proceed. Reproductive cloning would still be illegal.A group in Japan has expressed intentions to clone embryos for research. But serious hurdles

These great filaments are made largely of dark matter located in the space between galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope probed the structure of intergalactic space to look for missing ordinary matter, called baryons, that is gravitationally attracted to the cosmic web.

Australian scientists extracted genetic material from a 100-year-old museum specimen, and put it into a mouse embryo to study how it worked.
