[music] Have a look at these pictures. I tried to reproduce famous drawings of humans and rabbits embryos uh drawn by heckle. Can you tell for sure which one is human and which one is rabbit.Probably no. I wouldn't if it was not me who drew the pictures. Why they so similar.And how can such different organisms like humans and rabbits developed from a nearly identical embryo. Think of it. These are limps.Humans and horses. They are different for sure and they serve different purposes. Human arms are good for ...
Genetic Modification: Problem or Progress? | Ewan Godfrey | TEDxYouth@FIS
TEDx Talks· 2025-11-07 16:21
Genetic Modification & Applications - Genetic modification is evolving from scary monster scenarios to a tool for solving problems by working with nature [2][3][4] - CRISPR, a gene editing mechanism, functions by substituting targeted nucleotides, similar to substituting players on a sports team [5][6][7] - The FDA has approved genetically modified crops since 1994, indicating a history of safe use [4] Industry Impact & Disease Control - The pork industry faces significant economic losses, with over $1.2 billion spent annually in the US alone to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) [8][9] - CRISPR technology is being applied to combat infectious diseases like dengue fever by modifying mosquito genes to prevent viral infection [11][12][13] Human Health & Ethical Considerations - CRISPR offers potential treatments for genetic conditions like sickle cell anemia, caused by a single nucleotide mutation [14][15] - Modifying genes can have unintended consequences, as seen with sickle cell anemia where carriers have malaria resistance [16][17] - Gene editing tools like CRISPR require careful management to ensure ethical use, highlighted by instances of illegal experimentation [17][18]

Hello everyone. The first time I touched a calculator was at the age of 16. My father, a first generation entrepreneur, taught me that if you have to really work through the world, you have to learn to figure things on your own.My life then became an entire canvas of how I looked at everything with respect to equations, mathematics and numbers. And what I'm going to walk you all through today is the fascinating world of biology that I will try and explain through numbers. We are swimming in an information a ...

RT vittorio (@IterIntellectus)holy shit, it’s here!deepmind just released AlphaGenome.an AI model that reads 1 million bases of DNA and predicts how any mutation changes molecular functionnot just in single genes but across the entire regulatory genome.DNA is code, and you are software1/ https://t.co/f3zQAJUrdK ...
