The success rate of the new method of producing iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells, and propose a study for testing the functionality of the iPS cells produced by the new technique. Introduction: The cells that are obtained by dedifferentiating the adult specialized cells are the iPS cells. They are usually produced by inserting genes into the genome of the differentiated cells. As a result, the genome is altered, which raises a concern for the side effects. The iPS cells when generated by gene insertion into the genome of differentiated cells alter the genome. The altered genome may have some side effects. To eliminate these, a group of scientists developed iPS cells without altering the genome, which were similar in appearance to the conventional iPS cells. The newly developed iPS cells and those produced by conventional methods were compared by RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction). The results of the experiment are shown in the figure below:

Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding? Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…
