A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life.

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. (Gao Ya and Alvin Kin Shing Lee ...
