👉 A subclone is a specific genetic variant or copy number change within a cell. It is often used in genetics to distinguish between different copies of a particular gene, as these changes can influence the expression pattern and function of genes. In terms of molecular biology, subclones are typically found in cells that have undergone somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) or other techniques that involve removing a portion of an organism's genetic material. These methods result in the creation of new, genetically distinct copies of
