The science and ethics of the revolutionary gene-editing system CRISPR-Cas9, explained in a biology rendition of The Chordettes' "Mr. Sandman"

This video explores the differences between psychopathy and sociopathy, which are both part of antisocial personality disorder. It discusses the physical differences in the brain of a psychopath, such as low functioning MAOA gene, and...

This video explains the process of genetic engineering and discusses some of its applications in crop production and medicine. The process involves modifying the genome of an organism to introduce desirable characteristics, such as...

Alan Kapuler provides an in-depth examination of GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), discussing the scientific and ethical considerations behind their use in agriculture. He emphasizes the need for transparency and comprehensive...

With the right methods and technology, it is possible we could one day live on Mars. Here's 10 Ways You Could Survive On Mars.

This clip looks at some of the beneficial and harmful aspects of transgenic plants.

This exciting program takes a glimpse at some of the amazing advances in modern genetics. Starting with the discovery of DNA, students will be exposed to advances such as the creation of recombinant DNA, vaccines, the human genome...

Gene technology includes a range of activities that take advantage of genetic variation, modifying genes and transferring genes to new hosts. It includes genetic engineering and genetic testing. Gene technology is the term given to...

Selective breeding is also known as artificial selection. It is the process by which humans breed plants and animals for particular genetic characteristics. We have been doing this for thousands of years - ever since we first bred food...

GM stands for genetically modified. So, GM crops are plants grown for food whose genes have been altered using genetic engineering. In some cases, the genes of other organisms have been inserted into the genome of the crop plant to...

This clip looks at some of the beneficial and harmful aspects of transgenic plants.

This nugget introduces you to the science of biotechnology. It briefly discusses the principles, techniques and applications of biotechnology.

Learn the most effective study method for human anatomy and physiology with this teacher's personal experience and expertise. Discover the power of active recall and the Feynman technique, and how it can help you prioritize your...

Restriction Enzyme Set: 1. This clip introduces DNA-snipping restriction enzymes and takes a simplified look at how enzymes function.

We've discussed some aspects of biotechnology already, but we have yet to discuss the promising field of synthetic biology. We are now able to manipulate biological organisms in ways that have technological applications, and one of the...

Plant Reproduction Set: 5. This clip demonstrates two of the most common methods of genetic engineering in plants: biolistic transformation and gene splicing.

In this biology playlist, we've learned so much about DNA and living organisms! Well, so has mankind over the past century, and oh, what we have done with this knowledge! It's pretty incredible when you stop and think about it. Let's go...

In this video we'll go in depth with genetic engineering; on how it is made and what is it used for! Keep watching to unravel the meaning of genetics!

Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, have had their DNA artificially modified by humans, using modern genetic manipulation techniques. By changing the DNA, so changing the genome of an organism, means we can change its...
