		The female foal, dubbed Prometea, is actually a clone of the mare that gave birth to it.
		Since Prometea was created from DNA of an adult horse, her birth sets the stage for the cloning of prized show and racehorses.
		In your article, you state that the cloned foal Prometea is a genetic twin of her birth mother which contributed the nuclear DNA.

		Prometea (born May 28, 2003) is a Haflinger foal, the first cloned horse and the first to be born from and carried by its cloning mother.
		Born 36 kg after a natural delivery and a full-term pregnancy in Laboratory of Reproductive Technology, Cremona, Italy, Prometea at 2-month-old is 100 kg (220 pounds).
		The name Prometea is the feminine form of Prometeo ("Prometheus" in Italian).

		The cloned Haflinger horse is named Prometea after Prometheus, the character in Greek mythology who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans.
		In a twist for the growing barnyard of cloned animals, the Haflinger mare that gave birth to Promotea was also the source of her DNA, meaning she and her foal are identical twins.
		Prometea was born just two weeks after the first member of the equine family — a mule — was cloned at the University of Idaho.

		Prometea is, in fact, the latest in a line of animals to be cloned, including Dolly the sheep in 1996 and Idaho Gem, the first cloned equine/mule, born May 4, 2003.
		Another notable, and unintended, part of the experiment was that Prometea was born to her genetic mother.
		Prometea (or Prometheus), was a Titan in Greek mythology who was punished by Zeus for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to humans.

		Prometea weighed 36kg when she was born during a natural delivery on May 28, 2003 following a normal, full-term pregnancy.
		Although sheep, mice, cats, cattle, goats and pigs have already been cloned, Prometea is the first animal known to be carried and born by the mother from which she was cloned.

		“Prometea was just a scientific experiment and, scientifically, there’s not much new about the new clone,” says Cesare Galli, who produced both horses at the University of Bologna in Cremona, Italy.
		Galli created Prometea and the latest clone using the same technique - implanting skin cells into eggs emptied of their own genetic material.

		What makes Prometea stand out from previously cloned animals such as Dolly the sheep and assorted mice, cattle, goats, rabbits, cats and donkeys is that she was carried to term by the animal she was initially cloned from.
		Prometea was created by extracting DNA from the adult mare, which was then placed in a hollowed-out egg, where chemicals and electricity were used to fuse them together and create a new cell.
		Prometea is in excellent condition, but cloned animals have a history of health problems.

		The foal, called Prometea, was created in the lab by fusing an adult skin cell and an empty egg from a female horse, then returning the resulting embryo to the female's womb after a few days.
		She is perfectly healthy and genetically identical to her mother, says team leader Cesare Galli of the Laboratory of Reproductive Technologies in Cremona, Italy.

	Prometea [Cem]
		The aim of PROMETEA is to develop a major comprehension of gender issues in science and technology research, in order to propose effective recommendations and practices aimed to improve opportunities for women engineer´s professional development in research.
		At the same time it is prejudicing the rights of women to have equal access to professional careers of high qualification and social recognition and to obtain the benefits of a scientific career.
		The main objective of PROMETEA project is to establish a diagnosis about the participation of women in science and technology research, about the development of their professional careers as researchers, identifying the contextual, social, cultural, institutional and individual barriers that limit this participation.

		As well as being the first horse to be cloned, the Haflinger foal, named Prometea, is also the first clone to be carried to term by the nuclear donor, rendering Prometea genetically identical to her dam.
		Ian Wilmut, leader of the research team responsible for producing Dolly, heralded Prometea’s arrival as “a technological achievement”, he also told the BBC that, “The time is now right for a thorough and independent scientific programme to assess the harm posed to animals by cloning”.
		Mr Digby said while Prometea was a biological clone of her mother, environmental influences would play a large role in her performance and temperament.

		By chance, Prometea’s birth mother also donated the DNA for the foal’s egg, making mom and daughter identical twins.
		Scientists are excited because Prometea challenges the long-held belief that a mother’s immune system would reject a genetic clone of herself.

		With the science of animal cloning becoming more and more routine, experts said, Prometea's birth is notable mostly because of horses' special cultural and economic status in human society -- primarily their value as racing and show animals.

		But the mule’s claim to fame is nothing compared to that of the foal (named Prometea, after the Greek god Prometheus who stole fire from the gods and gave it to man) that was born twenty-four days later on May 28.
		In the case of Prometea, the Italian scientists removed a single somatic (skin) cell from a 6-year-old Haflinger mare, and fused its nucleus with an egg cell (retrieved from an ovary in a horse at an abattoir) whose own genetic material had been removed.
		But while the embryo from which Prometea grew was the only embryo to be carried to term successfully, it hardly was the only embryo involved in the cloning process.

		Cesare Galli, whose team at the Laboratory of Reproductive Technology reported the successful birth of filly Prometea on Wednesday, said his scientists had the technical know-how to create carbon copies of the world's greatest racehorses.
		Prometea -- the only filly to be born after 800 eggs were manipulated by Galli's team -- was the first horse to be successfully cloned from an adult cell and also the first to be carried and born by the mother from which she was cloned.
