For the bloodlinesof the Gulf.

A great camel or horse is the work of generations. Preservation keeps that work – the genome itself – alive beyond one animal's life. See also camels and horses.

Camels

In the Gulf, the racing and beauty camel is a living archive. Bloodlines are known by name and remembered across families; a single champion dam can shape a herd for decades. Camels are the most requested species for preservation in the GCC, and the only one for which cloning has been established in the region for more than fifteen years.

Our mobile laboratory comes to the farm or racing yard, so the animal is never transported. The biopsy is taken under local anaesthetic by the owner's veterinarian or ours, and the sample is in culture the same day. Banking starts from $6,500 in the GCC; continuity for camels starts from $100,000.

What is preserved

Living cell line
Twelve cryovials of fibroblasts, split between two cities at −196 °C.
DNA profile
An identity profile tying the line to the animal, for parentage and later verification.
Growth record
Photographs and measurements of the line from explant to freezing.
Pedigree note
The sire, dam and lineage as provided by the owner, attached to the registry entry.

Horses

For sport, breeding and heritage horses – Arabians above all – we work alongside the owner's own veterinary team. A banked line keeps options open for regenerative therapy after injury, for genetic testing and, where the studbook and local rules allow, for continuity. Many studbooks do not register clones; we say so before any work begins.
