CRISPR: Editing our genetic instructions | Rachel Haurwitz | TEDxSanFrancisco

In her talk Rachel explains what CRISPR is and the variety applications it can already be used for. She is also making sure we have elements allowing us all to fully understand what it means and how we can and should all be part of the CRISPR conversation.
Rachel is a co-founder of Caribou Biosciences and has been President and CEO since its inception. She has a research background in CRISPR-Cas biology, and in 2014, she was named by Forbes Magazine to the "30 Under 30" list in Science and Healthcare. She is also a co-founder of Intellia Therapeutics where she is a member of the board of directors. Rachel is an inventor on several patents and patent applications covering multiple CRISPR-derived technologies, and she has co-authored scientific papers in high impact journals characterizing CRISPR-Cas systems. Rachel earned an A.B. in Biological Sciences from Harvard College, and received a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Finally, a video about Crispr Cas9 that's accessible to non-specialists. Thank you for the simple and clear explanations. All these gene editing techniques are like hacking for genes, inserting new functions or NOPing out unwanted ones.

A superb introduction to CRISPR -Cas9 technology.
Patiently unveiling revolutionary concepts this is a beautifully paced lecture that exemplifies the Feynman technique of reducing complexity so the layman can understand.
Yes, I know the video is three or more years old but it still stands as primer for those of us enthusiastic seniors struggling to keep up with modern technological advancements. With these basic concepts digested, I can now begin to devour the subject.
Thank you again.

Ceea ce nu știți voi, oamenii de știință, ca atunci când tai ADN-ul uman cu ajutorul unei bacterii, nu schimbi un singur genom, ci întregul organism primește o informație eronata, care face dintr-o ființă vie, un fel de carne și sânge robotizata. E mai bine sa suferi și sa mori de orice boala ai avea, decât sa ți se schimbe linia vieții cu tâmpenii asa zis științifice. N-am văzut bolnavi vindecați de SIDA, cancer, diabet sau Ebola. Deci nu știe E. Coli, unde sa taie, nu știe nici sa lipească, nici sa vindece. Dacă Dumnezeu a pus în noi, porunca Cuvântul Lui, căci după ce a modelat lutul, adică ADN-ul, sau mai bine zis carnea și sângele, a suflat în gura lui Adam, suflare de viata. Puteți sa dați viata?! Nu puteți. Deci dacă nu dați viata, nu puteți nici vindeca nicio boala. Și atunci va faceți de ras cu bacteria voastră care nu face decât sa strice trupul omenesc și să-i dea o comanda greșită. Nu poți schimba partea, panglică de ADN, fără sa nu afectezi întregul. Asta nu e știință. E batjocura adusa demnității și libertății umane. Cheltuiți banii degeaba, fără sa aveți rezultate concrete, adică sa fie benefice oamenilor. Problema e ca atunci când veți muri, veți vedea care este viata adevărată.

genes and DNA and al that mehanic are just a hardwere u and any other do know nothing about softwere , but u think u know so much ... stop this insanity and crazynes and crime ... until u dont fully understund that mater... omg ...so sad
