Roslin Institute campus of the University, but despite this, retained its now world famous name. The Institute won international fame in 1996, when Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues created Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell, at the institute. A year later Polly and Molly were cloned, both sheep contained a human gene. Roslin has made many other contributions to animal sciences, especially in the area of livestock improvement and welfare through applications of Quantitative Genetics. In 2007 a Roslin team developed genetically modified chickens capable of laying eggs containing proteins needed to make
Patagonia (mammal) as opposed to earlier forest environments in the region. This coincides with "Patagonia"'s burrowing, grazing habits. A large variety of mammal species are known, including caviomorph rodents such as "Dudumus", as well as the rodent-like argyrolagoidean paucituberculates. "Patagonia" likely avoided competition in its fairly specialised niche. Patagonia (mammal) Patagonia is an extinct genus of non-placental mammal from the Miocene of Argentina. Traditionally considered a metatherian "incertae sedis", more recent analysis have shown it to be a gondwanathere. It is the youngest allothere species known. Currently, a single species is known, "P. peregrina", hailing from the Colhuehuapian-dating deposits of the Sarmiento
