Sinogene Biotechnology is a Chinese biotechnology company, focusing on animal cloning technology.[1][2] In 2022, Sinogene was the first to clone a wild Arctic wolf.[3]

History

Sinogene Biotechnology began offering dog cloning services in 2017[4][5][6] and later introduced cat cloning in 2019.[7][8][9]

In 2022, Sinogene became the first company to successfully clone an Arctic wolf,[10] and started horse cloning in 2023.[11][12] The donor cell came from a wild female Arctic wolf, the oocyte was from a female dog, and the surrogate was a beagle.[3] The company transferred 85 embryos into seven beagles and one Arctic wolf was born.[13] In June of the same year, Sinogene cloned a male horse using skin cells from a horse born in 1995.[14]

Sinogene partnered with Beijing Wildlife Park in 2022 to work together on improving breeding for endangered animals as well as improving ways to protect endangered animals.[13][15]

Sinogene clients can harvest cells from their living pets, to one day use in the cloning process after their pet dies.[12] Customers receive their cloned animals three months after they are born.[12]
