Learn the behind-the-scenes story of work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), plus a broad range of scientific news about discoveries that affect the world around us. In this episode, Franz-Josef M\u00fcller explains genomic tools to aid the functionally extinct northern white rhinoceros. In this episode, we cover: \u2022[00:00] Introduction \u2022[01:11] Multidisciplinary scientist Franz-Josef M\u00fcller introduces the northern white rhinoceros. \u2022[01:55] He introduces induced pluripotent stem cells and why they\u2019re important in efforts to save the northern white rhinoceros. \u2022[04:20] He talks about the genomic risks of using induced pluripotent stem cells \u2022[05:21] M\u00fcller tells the story of how he and his colleagues came together to complete the study. \u2022[06:36] He explains how the northern white rhino\u2019s genome was sequenced. \u2022[07:58] He talks about the results and implications for stem cell genomic integrity. \u2022[08:51] M\u00fcller enumerates the caveats and limitations of the study. \u2022[10:24] Conclusion.
