Explore the science of the groundbreaking technology for editing genes, called CRISPR- Cas9, and how the tool could be used to cure diseases.

--

From the smallest single-celled organism to the largest creatures on Earth, every living thing is defined by its genes. With recent advancements, scientists can change an organism’s fundamental features in record time using gene editing tools such as CRISPR. But where did this medical marvel come from and how does it work? Andrea M. Henle examines the science behind this new technology.

    Wow just 70 year ago we discovered DNA and now we can change the genome of an organism!
  • @ckute92
    I love that as a now former Sickle Cell patient, I have benefitted from this research. Just 5 years later
  • Cas9: Tries to defend its bacteria Humans: Reverse engineer Cas9 to defeat viruses and bacteria Cas9: Well, I guess I am working with them now.

  • I had to watch this twice because I was completely transfixed on how absolutely amazing the animation is and didn't hear a single word of the actual lesson. I demand a lesson on animation now, Ted.
  • This video makes it so simple. But really it's very complex
  • We're literally just hacking into ourselves at this point. I'm in.
  • I have Sickle-Cell Anemia and just heard about the UK approving of a new genetic therapy that engineers the bone-marrow to stop it from producing Sickled Cells. I didn’t understand how that was possible but what do you know, my favorite educational channel already made a video about it 4 years ago! Love this video and thank you for enlightening me❤
  • @nashiPAGE
    I'm excited for the future of genetic medicine.
  • "what makes you, you?" "my genes" "so if i change your genes, are you still you?"
  • Hello, thank you for this video. I have been looking at other videos to grasp the concept of CRISPR but felt difficult. I believe your narrative approach paired with the visual representation helped.
  • Thank you so much. I am not good at molecular biology and you helped me put so many of these pieces together to help me understand the process
  • @rozkaz661
    Some of the most beautifull animation on this channel yet! Great job
  • Thank you Ted-Ed for such a vivid and beautiful animation.I understood everything!
