    Kurzgesagt's animated explainer on CRISPR gene editing, covering how the technology works and what it could mean for curing disease, designer babies and aging. It frames genetic engineering as an irreversible change coming to humanity.

    HN commenters hand it out as a quick, accessible primer whenever CRISPR or gene editing comes up.

    1. @rosalinekarrMay 2017· in “CRISPR eliminates HIV-1 infection in live animals”

      For anyone unfamiliar with CRISPR, I strongly recommend this quick introduction video from Kurzgesagt on YouTube: this video

    2. @TeMPOraLNov 2018· in “First gene-edited babies claimed in China”

      For the surely upcoming discussion about pros and cons of genetic editing in humans, Kurzgesagt has a basic overview of the space, if you can spare some 15 minutes with your morning coffee. this video (not affiliated, just love their videos)

    3. @genemachineryNov 2018· in “Ask HN: Has anyone undergone stem cell treatment for auto-immune disease?”

      Many new immune system tools are being developed. MinION is now used for T-Cell and B-Cell characterization by reading immune response to breast cancer. Can you create a AS model? [LINK] I can send a model, Python DNA Plotter, of an Oxford nanopore DNA sequencer(MinION), shows what a Mu DNA plotter simulation may look like. Students can now learn python programming and DNA sequencing in school, using Mu python to simulate MinION. NMSU is using MinION: [LINK] MinION, how it works video: [LINK] Python is the most widely used computer language: [LINK] [LINK] A cheap $1K sequencer, MinION, models immune response to immunotherapy? [LINK] Can we then create a cheaper CRISPR test? To cassify AS? Could a CRISPR test correlate immune response to TCR/CRISPR? this video What works best (chemo vs other) per immune response DNA? See Mammoth Bio CRISPR paper test. [LINK] NCGR has trained NHS/UK in DNA diagnostics in this internship. [LINK] [LINK] I would study Machine Learning as it is now used for DNA. [LINK] I used AI/shotgun sequencing on the US Human Genome Project.

    4. @sillysaurusxJan 2020· in “Clearview AI is struggling to address complaints as its legal issues mount”

      Heh. That was the first thing that popped to mind too. But it might be best to avoid the topic. Still, genetic engineering is marching ever-closer. this video
