How far we've come in just my, as yet short, lifetime. As a teenager they were still mapping the human genome. Now we've figured out how and where to edit that genome to solve diseases. Caution is warranted, but I wish more people were impressed and inspired by this than afraid.

That video was amazing. Thanks for helping all of us as always Professor Dave.

This modular explaination by you makes the biomolecular mechanism behind CRISPR look easy. Thanks!

this video was so 'CRISP' and clear. absolutely loved this, thank you sooo much! Keep making such videos

Thanks Dr. Dave your provided me an ample understanding of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and now my concept is clear

Better explanation than any so-called coaching institute. Thank you so much for making this simple 🙏

Way to go , professor dave ,never stop making videos ....

This is one of the most detailed and clear videos, thank you so much

Excellent explanation! I had watched another video, and I still had trouble understanding this technology, but your video made it much clearer! Thanks!

Following you right away!. Having spent all my graduate and postgraduate studies in biotechnology, I found this very useful. Thanks, Prof👍

Thanks for making this video! I'm currently in high school and I'm super interested in things genetics related so I'm super grateful to have encountered this video with simple enough explanations for someone like me!

Thank you for finally making me understand the actual mechanism of the Cas9 protein. I'd love something on the pros and cons of NHEJ vs. HDR processes if you ever find the time to make a video about it!

Whoa!! That that was a lot of information! I'll have to watch this a few more times before I really get my head around it

You couldn't be clearer with this explanation. Thank you so much!

Best explanation of gene slicing that I’ve seen so far.

I'm so fascinated.. I'm a premed and studyin to crack the first entrance exam but i never thought that everything I'm learning is so amazingly wonderful .. it's so vast .. like how do these chemicals know what to make and what to stick to..and who to interact with... it has to do with reactions.... i didn't know that things I'm learning is not just a part of a chapter but rather a part of me..part of my beloved environment... so important and fascinating .. but i don't give em the respect they deserve..

This was a really great explanation of CRISPR-Cas9 and made it extremely easy to understand, especially with the beautiful visuals 👌👌!!

James Hopkins, You probably wouldn't support it if you were a potential target. What if we don't want to be 'cured'? That's why we started The Neurodiversity Movement, clinics and other people don't have the right to eradicate us from existence just because we're different, it is racism and discrimination. There's no doubt in my mind they are going to use it as an eugenics tool just like abortion. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

thank you professor Dave, i know it took me a while to find it, but i have been looking for this video since 2015, i am trying to self learn genome editing with Crispr for what my biotech teachers (back when we had to guide genes with chemical reactions) told me was the only ethical idea i had, i want to splice human blood with "plant blood" for a lack of a better term to generate food and oxygen to end world hunger and assist in space travel. the only issue i am running into with my studies is the human body is still designed to eat, so hunger pains will still exist but theoretically with the right set of genes from plants introduced into the human body should provide all the nutrients and calories from sunlight alone

Excellent explanation

It was effective in curing 22 of 45 Sickle Cell patients in a recent study. The patients are still being observed for close to one year now. If it succeeds, it will revolutionize medicine. It seems to be working now as 49% rate, if maintained, can be improved upon.

My son is a monoculture genetic scientist. He was mentioning recently that he was going into this specific study. Right on track and not worth explaining to people like you.

Thanks for this video. Really interesting subject and very well presented.

The question that needs answering is "how do we discern a disease?" Autistic people, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Bipolar etc... the vast majority of people diagnosed including myself don't want to be cured and it's our life. This is basically the completion of the first step of the discriminatory racist eugenics movement, they have already casted us out, the "artificial selection" is completed. All they have to do now is rub us out of existence. It's hard to believe the public can't see things as what they actually are. If you look up when all these disabilities became perceived as disabilities, it was in the eugenics after Francis Galton coined the term "eugenics" even though they trace back 100,000s of years. Intellectual disability was created by eugeneticists by their bias IQ, autistic people tend to complete the RPMT 40% faster than nonautistic people. CRISPR-Cas9 is actually acting upon false assumptions known as neo-Darwinism. Mutations are not random and they are essential to adaptation as well as diversity. Evelyn Fox Keller explains: "We now know that mechanisms for enduring genetic stability are a product of evolution. Yet a surprising number of mutations in which at least some of these mechanisms are disabled have been found in bacteria living under natural conditions. Why do these mutants persist? Is it possible that they provide some selective advantage to the population as a whole? Might the persistence of some mutator genes in a population enhance the adaptability of that population? Apparently so. New mathematical models of bacterial populations in variable environments confirm that, under such conditions, selection favors the fixation of some mutator alleles and furthermore, that their presence accelerates the pace of evolution."

@@Mulmgott I make my own videos under a separate account and have spoken much on eugenics and CRISPR, on them you’ll hear me say I approve and agree with using biotechnology to cure things like sickle-cell anemia. I point out my overall argument is the science community can’t keep equating uncommon differences as disorders, that we need a legitimate definition of what is a disease. According to today’s scientists, statistical deviation = disease which is plain thick and stupid of them, normativity is an ideology, the fact the whole field about disease is a cultural value judgement and not legitimate science people can’t be trusted to not start another Holocaust on disabled people. As I point out in my videos, there’s clinical websites saying CRISPR is a great hope to eradicate autism, ADHD, down syndrome, dyslexia, and other disabled people. They already approve genocide on individuals who test positive for down syndrome, they don’t allow disabled people to donate embryos, the fact they already approve of genocide, using abortion as an eugenics tool, there’s the evidence they will abuse it.

this is amazing, the fact that bacteria developed this over millions of years. and that humanity has understood it enough to use it to solve problems

Superb explanation 👍👍 thanks for sharing

Thank you! I need to write a paper on scientific innovations involving transcription and one of my paragraphs will be about CRISPR-Cas9. This video was very informative, detailed and complex enough to be used in a scientific paper

Great overview of CRISPR-Cas9, Professor Dave! I remember a few years ago when the podcast "Stuff You Should Know" covered CRISPR. They were pretty light on the biomechanics, which you cover here in much greater detail. Their podcast focused largely on the ethical concerns about CRISPR. There was also an interesting bit on using CRISPR to turn cells into "mini-CRISPRs." That is, using CRISPR to encode a gene to, itself, produce CRISPR. In other words, this is kind of "permanent CRISPR" that would ensure the CRISPR-modified gene would also remain modified from generation to generation. Incredible, and, if in the wrong hands, incredibly scary. I wonder what your own thoughts are on the ethics of using CRISPR on the human genome? Do you think we'll ever get to the point where we have "made to order" babies using CRISPR, or something like it?

What is defined as a disease is my concern, can you recall homosexuality defined as a pathological disorder? Hitler and racial hygiene? Why were alternative races defined as diseases? Humans clearly cannot be trusted, they will no doubt abuse people with it with selfish motives. I am autistic and I don't want to be cured of the gifts that come with it, they should not have the right to change people without our consent, it is racism and discrimination. Molecular biologist Miroslav Radman writes, "Mutagenesis has traditionally been viewed as an unavoidable consequence of imperfections in the process of DNA replication and repair. But if diversity is essential to survival, and if mutagenesis is required to generate such diversity, perhaps mutagenesis has been positively selected for throughout evolution." Evelyn Fox Keller explains: "We now know that mechanisms for enduring genetic stability are a product of evolution. Yet a surprising number of mutations in which at least some of these mechanisms are disabled have been found in bacteria living under natural conditions. Why do these mutants persist? Is it possible that they provide some selective advantage to the population as a whole? Might the persistence of some mutator genes in a population enhance the adaptability of that population? Apparently so. New mathematical models of bacterial populations in variable environments confirm that, under such conditions, selection favors the fixation of some mutator alleles and furthermore, that their presence accelerates the pace of evolution." The mutants behind autism offer some great advantages to the human race, diminishing the genes is a great risk because without those mechanisms there is no asurety of genetic stability pushing us in the direction of extinction. Psychologist Howard Gardner warns: "With the coming of age of genetics, the danger magnifies. Beyond doubt we will discover genes that are important for reading alphabetical scripts; and there is already evidence that a small set of genes may be related to reading problems. As with the brain evidence, such information can be helpful for early intervention; but it could easily be used for stigmatising purposes. Indeed, it might become relevant for marriage prospects, holding a job, securing insurance, or even eugenic purposes. And no doubt, especially in our interventionist society, individuals with a genetic predisposition for reading problems will look into different kinds of genetic engineering or therapy. It is possible that such interventions will work and have no negative side effects, but it is perhaps more likely that they will have unanticipated effects. And we might even want to consider which valued human abilities - eg. spatial or pattern recognition skills - might be placed at risk were we to target our interventions specifically at reading disorders." We can see the vast majority of so called diseases for what they are; they are discriminatory social constructions, not an intention to objectively understand human biology. Were global warming, warmer oceans, production of epidemic diseases, climate change, increased natural hazards and more anticipated. I doubt it so I would say Howard Gardner has a good point, every time humans have tried to play God and control nature nature struck humans back with greater problems, the people trying to solve the problems are the people who caused the problems and are trying to solve those problems repeating the same mistake to cause more problems.

@@danielmoore4024 You make some very good points, Daniel. Having been around biopharmaceutical development for quite some time, I might take exception to the notion that the "vast majority" of diseases are social constructions. While there are some "diseases" that might be classified in this way, I'd offer that the "vast majority" of diseases are so classified because they actually conform with all of Koch's Postulates. For example, homosexuality is not a disease because there is no known organism or virus that can isolated in someone who is (or claims to be) homosexual, reproduced, then transferred to a heterosexual host whom we observe to then become homosexual. It is understandable to be fearful of flawed human intentions, but science is sufficiently rigorous to be dispassionate. Also, despite what you may witness through lens of media, the vast majority of people who work on the development of genetic breakthroughs, like CRISPR, are extremely concerned about how these technologies could be leveraged by amoral ne'er-do-wells.

@@glennpearson9348 To be more specific when I say diseases, I'm referring mainly to neurological differences and genes that make a brain function more differently like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, dyslexia, intellectual disability, Down Syndrome etc... I assume you've heard of "The Neurodiversity Movement". In the 19th century pathology was corrupted by Francis Galton basing everything on the concept of "normal", pathology was no longer defined by pathology, it became "difference = pathological" like: "homosexuality = difference = pathological" proven by the fact they were trying to cure LGBTQ+ as recently as 50 years ago, and that they're in the DSM 1st edition. Those of us autistic are only defined as pathological because of differences to the social norm. There's no doubt in my mind that as evolution continues more minorities will be identified and automatically labelled pathological and don't deserve to live, abortion is already been used as an eugenics tool which is why I'm against screening and know we are going to be abused. The disabilities I listed bring abilities that nondisabled people are incapable of, which raises the question why isn't the majority that can't do what disabled people can do defined as disabled as well? I don't see why our difficulties must be cured if the difficulties of nondisabled people don't need to be cured. What I see being overlooked is "proportion". Things need to be kept proportional, enhancing everything to the maximum will take things out of proportion, and why do they feel the need of enhancement if there's nothing wrong with them? They clearly recognise their dichotomy and false sense of superiority over minorities, and who decides what's desirable as desirable is an opinion, like in order for The Neurodiversity Movement to be persisting there must be people who find these genes desirable and others undesirable.

Is CRISPR actually at all involved in gene therapy or is it just CAS9?
