How to sequence the human genome - Mark J. Kiel

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/how-to-sequ...
Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological advances, scientists are now able to know the sequence of letters that makes up an individual genome relatively quickly and inexpensively. Mark J. Kiel takes an in-depth look at the science behind the sequence.
Lesson by Mark J. Kiel, animation by Marc Christoforidis.

However, as science advanced, the theory had became outmoded and invalid, primarily due to the current acceptable scientific view of the world which is stochastic. Moreover, we had found that protein-coding genes are at times, multifactorial and require the environment and social interactions to shape its function, which directly contradicted the ideologies put forth by GATTACA.

    Well, there are chemical reactions that produces colored compounds. That's what those enzymes do, they catalyze a reaction (e.g. break something down) to produce some colorful chemicals. That's the color part. And no, A and A or any of the other combinations usually don’t bond together because of their unique chemical properties. But yes, sometimes mistakes do happen. For that, a single sequence (the small parts mentioned here) is read more than a hundred times to ensure that those "by chance" interactions don't affect the final result.

    Well, the binding of one nucleotide (the A,T,C and G) can only occur to a single strand after the previous one is added. Also, the pairs are constant. so where there is a T, nothing other than an A can bind. Very low chance of mistake. But of course, mistakes can and do happen. That's why a single sequence (the small parts mentioned in the video) is read more than a hundred times. So that those accidental mistakes don't affect the final result.
