A mouse created with stem cells from a choanoflagellate Sox gene, left, and a “wild type” mouse. The lab-induced stem cells had genetic markers like dark eyes.

Compared to natural mouse embryos, the synthetic models displayed a 95 percent similarity in the shape of internal structures and the gene expression patterns of different cell types. Growing a ...
