      Yes, it is difficult and took 2 years to do. You take an egg from one sheep and take out the DNA, then put another whole cell into the egg and grow it in a test tube for a bit, then put it back inside another sheep and hope it grows into a lamb. It is not easy to get it right and I also genetically altered the DNA of the cell that was put inside the egg so this was even more difficult and many sheep did not grow.
