[DIYbio] Re: Do cells of the same type in different species act differently with the same DNA?

Difficult to say. After some generations it should be identical to original species I guess. 
Vertebrates will be pretty much the same - tRNAs, ribosomes, polymerases. It could work intraspecially. 


Hope I got the question right,
like (extreme case) say you want human embryonic stem cells of yourself. You don't want to kill a human fertilized egg cell for it, so you take the fertilized egg cell of a cow and replace the cow nucleus by your nucleus. 
Your embryonic stem cell will have the mitochondria of a cow, but I don't think they wouldn't work.
