Cloning is very different from the science involved in genetic memory. Cloning is the replacement of genetic material from the egg of a specimen and replacing it with the DNA of the specimen to be cloned. It's fairly complicated, but it's to do with physical removal of the insides of eggs. Genetic memory would have something to do with DNA in sequences that influence the mind into seeing or 'remembering' what their predecessors did. The only way that Abstergo managed it was because they had TWCB technology to steal ideas from ;) Good luck with your family line!
