In the context of microbiology, enucleation refers to removing the nucleus of a cell and replacing it with a different nucleus. This is used mainly in cloning but can also be used for creating hybrids of plants or animals. It was discovered that cells can be chemically enucleated with Cytochalasin B in 1967.
