Very interesting article. Don't know how Dr. Snyder can come to such a definitive conclusion though:
"It's true that there is a huge amount of similarity (between mice and humans), but the difference are huge," Snyder said. "You will never ever have a little human trapped inside a mouse or monkey's body."
Thoughts?

Sounds like he was stating the obvious to me.

After all, mice are 97.5 percent genetically identical to humans.
Doesn't that ignore the so called "junk" DNA?
