Not necessarily, that's the point. It's uncertain if you can recreate a human being from genome alone even with perfect technology. Some crucial information could be passed from one female to another without being present in the genome at all.

I suspect none of these birds were rebuilt in a laboratory from their genome alone. The experiment proves that information is passed inside the egg but it doesn't specify via which medium.

Hard to know, but two interesting corner cases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion (but they have their own DNA...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centriole (but it looks like they can grow again "However, [...] cells whose centrioles have been removed via laser ablation [...] centrioles can be synthesized later in a de novo fashion."
