  • Today we explore CRISPR! What is it, how do scientists use it, and what does a CRISPR experiment look like in the lab?
    Huge thank you to the Google Making & Science team and their #ScienceGoals campaign for making this video possible! None of this would have happened without their support! Also huge thank yous to the Stanford at the Tech program for sharing their yeast with me!

    Trying to document grad school one RUclips video at a time, from lab equipment to genetics lessons to interviews with other students! Each week is a new view into life as a grad student, and the rollercoaster that is getting a PhD.

    That is the best video about CRISPR I've seen so far!!!

    you should do more interviews! Most of us have no real access to what is actually being researched, it is cool to hear what little piece of the puzzle they are trying to solve.

      Absolutely agreed. This is also a good resource that can be pointed-to when doomsday-nay-sayers go off on a tirade saying "OMFG BIOLOGISTS ARE TOYING WITH NATURE AND GMOS AND THE WORLD IS GONNA END!!!"
      Because the reality is a lot more tame. No one is trying to make babies with four eyes here.

    @NamelessAzn388 7 лет назад

    Pretty nice video on CRISPR. I don't know if it was the techniques your fellow grad students, but isn't the CRISPR method still fairly inaccurate? I remember toward the end of my last program that I was preparing to possibly use CRISPR to silence a gene and I had 8 off-target sites. But then again it could have been the technique (I think it was developed by MIT). I don't think it was due to the organism complexity because I was working with C. elegans.

  • @JulianPicht
    @JulianPicht 7 лет назад +1

    Thanks for explaining what CRISPR is actually doing where it was found. I only ever saw videos and popular science articles about how it was now used, but nobody really bothered to explain where it did come from. I always thought CAS9 was actually like synonymous with CRISPR because it is used that way a lot, but now I think it only describes one particular type of CAS protein. Is that correct? Do have an estimate how many different CRISPR systems are known/researched right now? And one last question: do you know anything about the evolutionary history of these CRISPR systems? About where they come from?

    • @AlexDainisPhD
      @AlexDainisPhD  7 лет назад

      Cas9 *is* often used synonymously, you're right, though it's not the same thing! For simplicity, even scientists often use them loosely in conversation: we'll talk about putting crispr into something, or crispring something, when we really mean cas9 or another cas protein. And you're right, cas9 is a specific cas protein from the most well studied/well used system. Other cas proteins from the same system help to actually do the "stealing and storing" of information. As to how many different systems are known and researched right now, my best guess is: lots! There was first one big one (S. pyogenes, where the well-used cas9 is from) but now, as Sukrit mentioned, we're discovering more at an astounding pace! Some with smaller cas proteins, some that target RNA, some whose functions we don't even know! Once we knew what to look for, we discovered multitudes! As to the evolutionary history, I've never actually looked into that, though I'm positive many labs have. A future video I think...

    that's especially relevant now that it has been (allegedly) used for editing human genes.

  • @bennguyen1313
    @bennguyen1313 6 лет назад

    According to Jennifer Doudna, the CRISPR/CAS9 protein requires a 20 nucleotide RNA sequence to uniquely define a section of DNA.. but how is it determined where one gene ends and another begins? i.e. each gene length?
    Also, assuming you can target a specific organ/tissue, is the idea that the genetic cut/replace needs to take place in 100% of those cells?
    Do you have any thoughts on if/how epigenetics fits into all this? Making a gene edit still requires another mechanism on top to express it, no? How does it differ from RNAi/RISC complex?
    BTW, on the Intelligence Squared episode ("End of Antibiotics?"), they mention how viruses have developed a strategy against the bacteria's Crispr/Cas9 mechanism!
    There was also an interesting article in theatlantic entitled "You May Already be Immune to CRISPR" that talks about how the bacterial protein used to deliver the edits, is killed off by the immune system before it even starts!

    • @bennguyen1313
      @bennguyen1313 6 лет назад

      Regarding how it's determined where one (of the 25k) human genes starts/stops, there's a video called 'The Noncoding Genome: Finding Treasures in our Junk DNA' that talks about (9m mark) the markers that identify dna segments, as well what could be the use for the 95% "junk/satellite" dna.. i.e. the majority of the 500 million base pairs for which don't seem to result in any rna/protein transcription.

    completely independant of that on a different topic, id love to see experiments like this in more detail and more complete (that is without some steps being done by others off camera, more like what Nurd rage is doing with chemistry). Either way thanks alot for all your videos i belive they do a great contribution to the education of people interrested in this stuff!

      @liesdamnlies3372 7 лет назад

      Not yet, no. Aging is a very, very, very complicated process. Personally I doubt we'll truly beat aging without nanotechnology; literally nanobots to repair damaged tissue, though they may use many biological processes to get the work done.
      And even then, we won't have cracked clinical immortality, since just by sheer chance you can expect to be dead from some sort of accident within a thousand years or so, assuming you could live indefinitely.
