Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a complex technique used in the field of biotechnology to create a clone of an organism. In this process, the nucleus of a somatic cell, which is any cell of the body except sperm and egg cells, is transferred into an enucleated egg cell (an egg cell from which the nucleus has been removed). The egg cell then reprograms the somatic cell nucleus to a state of totipotency, allowing it to develop into a complete organism.
