This video describes the Nobel Prize winning discovery by David Baltimore and Howard Temin of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that copies RNA into DNA. Retroviruses, which have a genome made of RNA, use reverse transcriptase to replicate. This discovery came as surprise because the widely accepted Central Dogma postulated only a one-way flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein. Reverse transcriptase later played a major role in biotechnology industry, providing a mechanism for cloning DNA from cellular RNA and making cDNA libraries. Learn more reverse transcriptase and viruses in Mike Bishop's Narrative on Cancer Genetics in The Explorer’s Guide to Biology (explorebiology.org/summary/genetics/the-genetic-basic-of-cancer).
We present biology as detective work and focus on the process of science. Find out more at explorebiology.org
So a new studies shows that the pf izer and mod erna v a x does reverse transcriptase
I just learnt more in this 4 minute video than I did in a 12 week long university class
Perhaps you could explain to me what I have just watched please. I've not got it?
Years ago I stumbled onto a 3D animated “inside the cell” video that showcased a lot of what my professor was covering in my honors college biology II course, but seeing it come to life made things far clearer... same idea of condensing the course down into a few minutes. The prof loved showing videos like this in class so I figured I’d share it with him.. Pretty sure he got offended because he HATED my guts after that. Oops! 😀
Is this important for the corona vaccine?
no
It could be relevant.
@@Alias9000 Being exposed to the virus itself puts you at risk of having its RNA being integrated to your genome, which is already happening in fact. And it's not as dramatic as it sounds, since all it does is make you positive to covid-19 even though you have 0 viral charge.
Given how RNA is a very short lived molecule that gets degraded in less than 24 hours, the possibility for it to affect anything months or years down the line would be quite spectacular.
Those chances are also always lower than the possibility of exposure to Sars-cov-2 having the same effect since it's DNA-based, and DNA is more stable than RNA.
(Remember, Sars-cov-2 replicates in your body for up to 2 weeks before symptoms appear)
So, in conclusion: even by taking into account the possibility of RNA being integrated to human genome, the vaccine is still safer than the virus itself
Covid is not a retrovirus.

Truely, we don't know what Covid is.
IF there is a 'Covid'.
Is it the mark of the beast, just kidding
Reverse transcriptase of hiv is used for the conversion of RNA into viral /host DNA?? PLEASE ANSWER
HIV modifies the hosts dna. That's why people with aids have a damaged immune system. Because their dna has been modified.
Basically a PS6 can reverse engineer the backward capability of a PS5 but PS5 has to upgrade first. 🤣🤣🤣
Dogma doesn't mean fact lol
Never take anything for granted!
Amazing that this was discovered in 1975, yet I've heard so many over the last couple of years saying it'd be impossible 🤔
Hi
Can you say me what she said at 1:52 which enzyme?
@@clashinghub3971 reverse transcriptase
Extremely interesting! Very well done video!
Can you say me what she said at 1:52 which enzyme
Thank you so much
How the hell did I get here bruh
Why the awful background cacophony?
ADAMSIN
fantastic ,thank you so much.. ;)
ta fachera
What did the scientist isolated enzyeme pls reply
مين فايت ع الفيديو من الشاملة 😂😂😂
Thank you so much. This is what im searching for
Very well explained!
Great video!
Thank you
Thanks
