Abstract
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) shows great value in the generation of transgenic animals, protection of endangered animals, and stem cell therapy. The combination of SCNT and gene editing has produced a variety of genetically modified animals for life science and medical research. Rabbits have unique advantages as transgenic bioreactors and human disease models; however, the low SCNT efficiency severely impedes the application of this technology. The difficulty in SCNT may be attributable to the abnormal reprogramming of somatic cells in rabbits. This review focuses on the abnormal reprogramming of cloned mammalian embryos and evaluates the progress and prospects of rabbit somatic cell cloning.

Cellular Reprogramming is the premier journal dedicated to providing new insights on the etiology, development, and potential treatment of various diseases through reprogramming cellular mechanisms. The Journal delivers information on cutting-edge techniques and the latest high-quality research and discoveries that are transforming biomedical research.
Cellular Reprogramming coverage includes:
Somatic cell nuclear transfer and reprogramming in early embryos
Embryonic stem cells
Nuclear transfer stem cells (stem cells derived from nuclear transfer embryos)
Generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and/or potential for cell-based therapies
Epigenetics
Adult stem cells and pluripotency.
