The CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionised gene-editing, but cutting DNA isn’t all it can do. From turning gene expression on and off to fluorescently tagging particular sequences, this animation explores some of the exciting possibilities of CRISPR.

    As a 3D artist, I feel it’s awesome to see these types of animations being used in education. Keep up the great work!
  • @InfiniteCyclus
    As someone who did his graduation in molecular biology I'm in awe. I remember the first time I saw and realised how mechanistic the inner workings of our cells are. Captivating..
  • @RABBlTFTW88
    Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this video. Keep up the great work!!
  • @cwk9492
    Great video. I don't have a background in science but I've been following the press on this topic and feel like this is the first clear explanation I've come across.
  • @David-ey9jg
    This is stunning. The brilliance of the researchers is beyond my comprehension.
  • This is very exciting. Sickle Cell Disease, which primarily affects African-Americans, could be cured using the CRISPR system. I lost my sister a couple years ago after her lifelong fight with SCD and the fact that we now have SCD patients in CRISPR trials brings tears to my eyes. I really do love the power of science.

    I truly hope that humanity will fully comprehend the responsibility that comes with using this kind of technology.
  • @tonyprice1786
    Having just read Jennifer Doudna's book "A crack in creation", this sort of video helps bring the science alive. Well done.
  • @andiarrohnds5163
    I am definitely impressed with the accomplishments of our species! Marvelous work!!
  • @clioleo7388
    Clear, concise explanation of a difficult topic👍🏼
  • @MGR1900
    Wow! What a powerful use of animation! That's very impressive!
  • @jorichardson8099
    Speaking as a molecular biologist, this is a great video. Explains clearly without introducing errors!
  • @rock3tcatU233
    This is the clearest explanation of the CRISPR-Cas9 system I've seen to date.
  • @22CHARIO
    This is a great animation and very understandable thank you for this creation!!!
  • @WarDisciple1
    This makes me wish I understood how interesting bio chemistry can be. I wish i knew this when i was younger. It also makes me think about movies ive watched of advanced xivilazations that have permanently optimized their dna, but end up causing irreversible damage to their species. Which can also be a possibility for us thousands of years from now if we are not careful. Way too interesting of a subject.
  • @KavitaGhosal
    I'm overwhelmed by their mode of action. Splendid animation
  • Fantastic animations. Learning is fun with these videoclips. Thanks to all the authors of these great art
