Dr. Hopkins is aiming for a sweeping picture of the genes necessary to make an embryo, but individual members of her team and other collaborators are focusing on specific organs -- the ear, the heart and more.
Someday, if therapeutic cloning goes well, scientists would take a few cells from a person with a disease, say diabetes, and use them to make an embryo that would have the same genes as the sick person.
The researchers are only "a couple of years" away from getting to a place where they can make an embryo for their mammoth-like elephant, per The Guardian, which would actually be something new, rather than a resurrected woolly mammoth in the way you might expect given popular depictions of extinct species' resurrection in popular culture.
Their purposes in creating the cell lines, which require making an early human embryo, are to study how the diseases develop and also to see if replacement cells can be generated to repair the patient's own degenerating tissues.
