What does the underlined that refer to?
The passage below comes from a book, The Epigenetics Revolution by Nessa Carey.
https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=mPP8lbHeZooC&pg=PA29&lpg=PA29&dq=%22it+would+become+just+like+an+ES+cell,+all+the+potential+that+implies%22&source=bl&ots=V_J4qDTH0S&sig=jSTi31QG_BZEKUT41Up3q4zdZCU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjigYLHxfDJAhUjXqYKHSofCGgQ6AEIGjAA#v=onepage&q=%22it%20would%20become%20just%20like%20an%20ES%20cell%2C%20with%20all%20the%20potential%20that%20implies%22&f=false
They had also worked out how to change the culture conditions so that the ES cells would differentiate into various cell types including liver cells, heart cells, neurons etc. But how does this help with the dream we laid out earlier? Could the labs use this information to create new ways of driving cells backwards, to the top of Waddington’s landscape? Would it be possible to take a fully differentiated cell and treat it in a lab so that it would become just like an ES cell, with all the potential that implies?
I'd like ask a question regarding what it is the underlined 'that' refers to.
It seems to represent 'the ES cell' and 'all the potential', even though it just precedes 'that' and can refer to it in appearance, or the sense of position, is the object of 'implies'.
Am I right?
Regards.

Yes, "potential" is the object of "implies". "that" is the subject of "implies". My feeling is that "that" refers to the possibility of doing what is described.

Thanks a lot as always, teechr.
(Thanks a lot for your specifying 'that' for me.)
