I have hypermobile EDS, which is a mutation in how my body produces connective tissue. But there are other types that can affect other systems in the body. There's even a lot of variation in how severe hEDS is. I'd be curious to see the genetic variations between various types of EDS and the severity of EDS symptoms.
6:22 "There's a chance that these 'silent mutations' aren't so silent at all" Yeah, a few important factors here are codon optimality (changing a codon can slow down protein production even if codes for the same aminoacid), mRNA structure (changes in the mRNA sequence affect its folding pattern, which in turn affects interaction with other proteins or how efficiently it's translated), and splicing (they can create or destroy splice sites, changing the final mRNA).
It is important to know your family medical history like parent and grand parents. The "mutations" they had are more likely to be ones you have. Knowing what they had to avoid or benefit from is good for yourself. For example there are some at risk of addiction affects so should just never start.
Amazing !! Can you make a video explaing the MTHFR gene mutation please ? I carry 2 coppies and it has caused me a lot of problems over my life. Thank you for all your work !! ❤
The reason I remember the ACTG letters is bc of GCAT in Homestuck lol. Useless info for me given I’m not exactly a geneticist but hey, it’s a good memory device anyway.
After knowing the seriousness of Climate change and reading many philosophers & religions, I guess, we need to become Vegan asap. It's already too late.
I haven’t been here in a while so I’ve only ever seen Hank Green (I think that’s his name?) do these but oh my gosh this guy is gold
My kids and I watch only these biology videos. You’re such an amazing teacher and one of the more engaging ones for sure.

Great video as always! Thank you!
Yet another example of how awesome Dr. Sammy is. Hopefully he's already set up to do a Crash Course Entomology some time in the near future. :)
I'll take the well rested mutation if I have a choice. 😁
There's a character named Bone from One punch man who gets Durability from drinking a lot of milk.
Dr. Sammy calling for his super suit remind me a Freezone from "The Incredibles." 😊😅😂

nice! thank you for all you do! keep it up!
So interesting! Makes me miss biology lol I may take a college class in it senior year 😋🧬✨
Good video!
we also have a gene named sonic hedgehog which is an essential part of embryonic development.
Excellent video covering mutations and the details!
Crazy how our bodies cells and genes resemble a computer program, i.e data structure or algorithm.

Very cool thanks.

thanks, please update the playlist
Fyi. Eating ice cream from the carton while watching this. Super power!!!
Have y'all done one on horizontal gene transfer. If not please do.
Thank you!
Great Work ✊🏾☝🏾🔥📖📠
8:07 No one mentioning how interesting it actually is that there exists a few people resistent to HIV.
Fantastic presenter!
I saw that “dubious food” reference
"Where is my supersuit?"
I've been asking that question since I was a kid.
I want the mutant ability to teleport.
STATIC SHOCK LOVE HELL YEAH
I’m so happy that you chose a queer black person to host this series 💕 It makes me feel welcome in STEM
Yaaay I'm a mutant......which I already knew tho 😅
I have a mutation where I don't get armpit or foot odor.
Based
Cool
You should have used the X-Men animated series theme music! LOL
To me my X-Men!
I can destroy milk and hot foods.
