Chinese scientists have cloned a genetically modified sheep containing a
"good" type of fat found naturally in nuts, seeds, fish and leafy greens
that helps reduce the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.

"Peng Peng", which has a roundworm fat gene, weighed in at 5.74 kg when
it was born on March 26 in a laboratory in China's far western region
of Xinjiang.
...
Du and colleagues inserted the gene that is linked to the production of
polyunsaturated fatty acids into a donor cell taken from the ear of a
Chinese Merino sheep.

The cell was then inserted into an unfertilized egg and implanted into
the womb of a surrogate sheep.

"The gene was originally from the C. elegans (roundworm) which has been
shown (in previous studies) to increase unsaturated fatty acids which
is very good for human health," Du said.
