Cool ! VDO

[satheatul1]

Superb Animation. Thanks a lot for uploading such knowledge oriented audio-visual resource.

[808Chrissy808]

What a fine piece of animation :D

[bsappebaut]

THANKS !!!!

[DENIS8439]

Excellent imagination!

[eltiare]

Holy denseness of information, Batman! Sweet vid. So... if I get this straight: the the plants, animals, and fungi that we eat have an effect on our DNA?

[jonlst]

@eltiare most likely. miRNA from rice has actually very recently been shown to be able to affect human gene expression.

[jonlst]

@thevenomous1 quoting from the abstract of the artictle recently published in Nature: "we report that [..] exogenous plant miRNAs are present in the sera and tissues of various animals and that these exogenous plant miRNAs are primarily acquired orally, through food intake [..] These findings demonstrate that exogenous plant miRNAs in food can regulate the expression of target genes in mammals."

[thevenomous1]

@jonlst Wow, didn't know about that. Could you send me a link to the article, please?

[jonlst]

@thevenomous1 I can't post a link here but you can google it: Zhang et al., 2011, "Exogenous plant MIR168a specifically targets mammalian LDLRAP1: evidence of cross-kingdom regulation by microRNA", Nature Cell Research

What a beautiful video!

[uohecc]

can't believe i was on facebook, clicked in it and watched all of it.....life being a science student *sigh*

[AJ06]

Gotta love it :)

[superb150]

WOW, it's really like a factory!, This is so awesome :D

[Teghead]

I love the way it zooma out as though leaving a little solar system (music helps),

[Lekozza]

Great video! Thanks. Check out this one

"One Body"

[bosarama]

it's incredible how complex and yet beautifull the way genes acts with each other to answer the body neads. (with body i mean every leaving thing)

[Faxe555]

Great animations and explaining!

[ChristinaCaceres]

nature is intelligent



[imunbi]

I remember when my intro to animals course prof mentioned this occuring in C. elegans

[A11ex]

Mhm...yes...hmm...ok... Yup, I know some of these word.

[CappitranoBellephant]

@A11ex That's how I feel too...

[autodrop]

very nice, this explained a complete lecture in less than five minutes

[ArizonaBob]

Wow! Excellent video!!! Thumbs up!

[toughsuga2]

Great animation.

[EGCCM]

Really good video. It shows the mRNA circular while is translated and eIF4F.

[omiolo]

I keep waiting for the therapy.

[there4able]

Wonderful...I am wondering what is that thing walking on the brown thread?

[ConcealRise]

@there4able The "walking" molecule is called kinesin. It's transporting a vesicle of some sort along a microtubule, which is that brown thread.

[Faxe555]

@ConcealRise Thanks for answering the question I wanted to ask immediately after watching the video!
