Gene Preservation
A service that cryogenically stores a pet's somatic cell samples for the long term without promising a cloning outcome. It serves as a low-threshold precursor to cloning and functions as an important customer acquisition channel for cloning companies.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Gene preservation services do not promise any outcome and merely cryopreserve pet cell samples; the cost is usually far lower than cloning, and it serves as a customer acquisition entry point for cloning companies.
If samples are taken after a pet has died, cell viability is often no longer sufficient, so preserving living samples in advance is key to the success of gene preservation and cloning.
For pet owners, the most practical advice is to learn about gene preservation options while the pet is healthy and leave the decision of whether to clone until later.
