Can we change the blueprints of life? This week we are exploring that question with genetic engineering. We’ll discuss how selective breeding can improve agricultural practices, and the potential DNA-level engineering could have on other...

Explore an intro to genetic engineering with The Amoeba Sisters. This video provides a general definition, introduces some biotechnology tools that can be used in genetic engineering, and discusses some related vocabulary (such as...

Tune in and join the conversation during the premiere of "CRISPR in Context: The New World of Human Genetic Engineering" on Friday, October 25th at 8pm EST. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered...

It’s happened. The first children genetically engineered with the powerful DNA-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9 have been born to a woman in China. Their altered genes will be passed to their children, and their children’s children. Join...

We've made some great strides in understanding the human genome, but before we can tackle genetic engineering, we have some "chicken and egg" problems to figure out. Hosted by: Hank Green

The video explains what genetic engineering is and how it is used in agriculture and medicine. It discusses the benefits and limitations of genetic engineering and considers some of the concerns that people have regarding its use. The...

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...

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!

This video is answering the question of what is genetic engineering.

We've made some great strides in understanding the human genome, but before we can tackle genetic engineering, we have some "chicken and egg" problems to figure out.

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...

Horizontal gene transfer might not be the flashiest of names, but animals are using it to create genetic hybrids without a human in sight. Like frogs rocking the DNA snippets of snakes, and fish sharing antifreeze superpowers.

Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has approved a study that may one day lead to designer babies, but that's not the plan right now. Dr. Kathy Niakan, a molecular biologist at the Francis Crick Institute in London,...

Since the advent of genetic engineering, a lot of weird questions have cropped up, particularly with regard to what information a company can patent. Individual genes, as they are discovered, are now immediately patented and can be...

Hank discusses some of the recent developments in synthetic biology, and why some advocacy groups are calling for a moratorium on those developments.

The media have been talking about “genetically modified humans” and “designer babies.” But what they’re really talking about is germ-line engineering: a process that could help eliminate heritable diseases. So why do some scientists want...

* Viewer discretion advised. This video includes discussion of mature topics and may be inappropriate for some audiences. Pamela Ronald studies the genes that make plants more resistant to disease and stress. In an eye-opening talk, she...

A team of scientists has genetically engineered pigs to be resistant to a widespread disease. Science can engineer an animal’s DNA to introduce desirable traits and get rid of negative traits or sickness. These pigs are not being raised...

In part 4 of our special series on human ancestry and evolution, we look into the future. Now that genetic engineering tools like CRISPR allow us to edit our genes, how will that impact human evolution going forward? Are designer babies...
