哈佛大學的 Kitai Kim 及其團隊在檢視黃禹錫造假的幹細胞株時
發現了此細胞株來源是孤雌生殖
並且是第一個製造出來的人類孤雌生殖人類幹細胞（pES）
這樣的發現其實相較於他做假所得到的結果
並不會有任何一點的遜色
只是也許在造假獲得心中所期盼的結果時
忽略掉了它本身就存在的重大意義

"It's an unfortunate irony that they didn't know what they had," says George Daley, a biologist at Children's Hospital Boston who led the latest analysis. "It would have been a very important discovery."
In parthenogenesis — a form of asexual reproduction found in insects, lizards and sharks, but not naturally in mammals — all the cell's DNA comes from the mother. Pairs of chromosomes are more similar, and what variation there is tends to cluster at the ends of chromosomes.
