	Roslin Research Groups
		Scientists at Roslin Institute have been at the forefront of farm animal genomics research at a national and global level from the initiation of the first international farm animal genome project (PiGMaP) in 1990, to the genome sequencing projects in chickens and cattle of recent years.
		The Institute is the host for ARK-Genomics, Centre for Comparative and Functional Genomics in Farm Animals – a collaborative centre that provides genomics resources and tools for research groups.
		The Institute has also developed and maintains public databases, including the ARKdb database system which provides comprehensive public repositories for genome mapping data from farmed and other animal species, and facilitates the comparative genomics – the sharing of information between species.

		Grahame Bulfield, the director of the Roslin Institute added, "We are delighted that this agreement ensures a key role for UK scientists in the development of human stem cell therapies—potentially the most exciting application of the nuclear transfer technology that produced Dolly."
		Nuclear transfer: In early 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute demonstrated for the first time with the birth of Dolly the sheep that the nucleus of an adult cell can be transferred to an enucleated egg to create cloned offspring.
		Roslin Bio-Med was established on the basis of an exclusive license from the Roslin Institute to develop its nuclear transfer technology for all animal and human-based biomedical applications excluding human reproductive cloning.

		However, scientists at Roslin are now focusing on ways animals could benefit medical research rather than producing genetically modified animals specifically for human consumption.
		The institute will not completely shut down its agricultural research, and much of its medical research will continue to be with animals - for instance, genetically modifying chickens to lay eggs containing human antibodies, which can then be used to make useful drugs.
		Roslin is now one of the world's leading centers for genetic research on animals.

		A leading scientific institute is set to halt its research into pig organ transplantation - but says the decision is a "purely commercial" one.
		Professor Grahame Bulfield, the director of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, UK, which is famous for creating Dolly the Sheep, stressed that scientists were not abandoning projects because of new health fears.
		But discussions between scientists at Geron, the US-based company which is funding the work, and the Roslin Institute team are thought likely to lead to the research programme being halted.

	'Roslin Institute's claim is false'
		Since the Roslin Institute, which is linked to the leading firm in animal biotechnology, PPL Therapeutics, has major interests in unique genetic trades for genetic engineering in animals for the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals, bioprospecting for animal genetic material is a necessary part of its activities.
		The research association between the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) and the Roslin Institute as well as the fact that the KAU holds the germplasm of the unique Vechur cow suggest that the potential for bioprospecting links between Roslin and the KAU needs to be explored.
		Suman Govil's letter that the Institute has no patents is false since we have a list of 14 patents held or applied for by the Roslin Institute in Europe.
