The DNA of Immortal Worms

[1NX9]

Apply it to humans??

[snowbegone]

have their been actul human experiments on immortality?

or are we still bent on the fact playing god isn't right..

thats bullshit setting a bar on an being we think actully cares...

cloning humans should be done..morality is a joke

[Noovil25]

@snowbegone I think there are a lot more complications other than religious ones, considering the rising population, do we really want to be immortal?

[snowbegone]

@Noovil25 yes, population is a factor if we are immortal or not.

Their are millions of reasons why not to do something.

Takes one brave person just to do it if its moral or not.

Most scentists are too scared to follow threw with their ideas.

Ask someone who is dying if they want to live their is your answer or to swing what your saying around how many people will you let die that don't want to die?

that goes to all scentists working in this feild.

I was going to ask "but will it blend?", but it's clear the worms do.

Nice video very informative! mmkay :)

[miaaaaism]

He sounds like Adam from Casualty! Really interesting video, and really helpful, thanks!

[mightyquinn42]

15 years!? How many people did they grind up to map it all out?

[cristianfcao]

And people think hard drives can store a lot of data... ;-)

[H3rvIk]

love the t-shirt :D

[pyropakman]

That is one fresh shirt he's got on!

[anonysquirrel]

Right. But how do you know that the computer assembly of the small sequences into a large sequence is the actual sequence? What if there are other sequences that satisfy the rules of combination? How do you know which sequence is the actual genetic sequence?

[Questtechie]

that's why you do it several hundred, if not thousand times. you make sure you got it right.

there may be artefacts in the assembly a few times, because it might break weird a few times, but over many repetitions of this process you will get good data.

at least most probably. (which is all you can ever hope for)

[nehoc85]

This is new, I've only learned about the older 96 well way. How long has this technique been around? What is it specifically called?

[kardredren]

worm cruelty! :P

[chalky5678]

what course(s) at university would one have to think of taking in order to be qualified for a career in this sort  of thing?

what A-levels would be useful?

[CaptainSpaktastic]

For your A-Levels the best choices would be biology, chemistry and maths.

A good mathematical ability will stand you in good stead for any science degree.

[Hilariousity]

Bioinformatics/Biology/Compute­r Science/Genetics

[jamiekin]

awesome t-shirt :D

[1ockedand1oaded]

thinking of taking biology instead of physics for my a level...

[slashLTU]

do u guys use that bottle of vine on a shelf (3:41) in makin of immortal cyborg worms too?

[NautiKijana]

Nice t-shirt!

[SirMildredPierce]

Poor dude is toting around a handful of coloured markers, but you desaturated all the colour out! geez, warn the guy why don't ya! ;)

[Kargoneth]

Vermicide...

[danbison]

I just chew up the worms and then spit them out.

[strek0655]

I prefer the sanger method...

[rroge5]

frightening how they chemically break up a worm o.o

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

the Immortal Worm died

[Ravenairb]

Nice Video

[Patrickssj6]

"Ok?" :P

Great vid!

[MrMario9208]

inb4 animal cruelty

[sajfen]

awesome

[jasser0520]

quite interesting guys. Keep up these technical videos.

[TeoTheAwesome]

first

anyway gread vid!
