Here's a selection of Science desk reporters' most memorable stories of the year, with a focus on archaeology, biology and space. <\/p>\n

Apparently not. A Times science writer learns how to tell the difference between a Finn-Dorset and a Lleyn. <\/p>\n

Scientists have answered a longstanding question about whether cloned animals age prematurely. <\/p>\n

The companies behind it, Boyalife Group and Soaam Biotech, must contend with consumers in a country where food safety is a near obsession. <\/p>\n
By OWEN GUO <\/p>\n
The retraction by Science of a study of changing attitudes on gay marriage is the latest in a growing number of prominent withdrawals of the results of studies from scientific literature. <\/p>\n

Scientists have moved a step closer to the goal of creating stem cells perfectly matched to a patients DNA in order to treat diseases, they announced on Thursday, creating patient-specific cell lines out of the skin cells of two adult men. <\/p>\n
Nearly a decade after his downfall for faking research, the South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk has won patents for his work in an attempt to resume studying human stem cells. <\/p>\n
Bringing extinct animals back to life is really happening and its going to be very, very cool. Unless it ends up being very, very bad. <\/p>\n

Dr. Hwang Woo-suk of South Korea received the patent for the method by which he claimed in 2004 to have extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos. <\/p>\n
In 1997, Scottish scientists revealed they had cloned a sheep and named her Dolly, sending waves of future shock around the world that continue to shape frontiers of science today. <\/p>\n
Retro Report <\/p>\n
The uproar over Dolly the sheep and human embryonic stem cells, revisited in a Retro Report video, shows how emotions can cloud understanding of science. <\/p>\n
By NICHOLAS WADE <\/p>\n
Researchers fused skin cells with donated human eggs to create human embryos that were genetically identical to the person who provided the skin cells. <\/p>\n

It could be years before scientists succeed in bringing species back from extinction, but they are thinking of ways to give new life to creatures like woolly mammoths and weird frogs. <\/p>\n
By GINA KOLATA <\/p>\n
Dr. Campbell, a British cell biologist, helped create Dolly, the first mammal to be cloned from an adult animal. <\/p>\n
Shinya Yamanaka and John B. Gurdon, the two scientists who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday, helped lay the foundation for regenerative medicine. <\/p>\n
I Cloned My Pet 2 is about three dog owners contemplating the costly procedure to genetically recreate their beloved dead pets. <\/p>\n
Surprisingly, it's possible to take ''I Cloned My Pet 2'' seriously for almost its entire length. Right up until the moment when one pet owner consults a medium to find out her dead dog's opinion on whether she should clone him. The show, Monday on TLC, is a follow-up to an installment broadcast in January. Three cases occupy the hour: a Florida couple, Edgar and Nina Otto, who had their Labrador retriever cloned; a Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon, Dr. George Semel, who wants his Chihuahua back; and a Los Angeles woman named Myra who was so fond of a basenji named Kabuki that she saved his blankets and such in hermetically sealed bags. <\/p>\n
Amy Finkel lives in an apartment in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, that does not allow pets. But she does have a groundhog (Chompers), an armadillo (Fleischesser) and a boar (Angel). They are all, however, dead and stuffed - and in the case of the boar, it is just the head. <\/p>\n
A plan hatched by tree enthusiasts hopes to clone and mass-produce colossal redwoods, the tallest living things on earth. <\/p>\n
