great for my right ear
Haha, I even I was thinking is wrong with my earphones!
Best intro explanation of synbio I've seen yet!
My left ear feels lonely :(
Thought it was only me
This is a beautiful presentation in both descriptive clarity and graphic animation.
A great video, well done and explained clear and to the point. Congratulations to the production team.
This is truly excellent. Thank you for producing it. I have linked to it on my blog, Running a Hospital. Paul Levy
Very simple & ease to understand, great job.
Very easy for every one to understand. Educational, inspiring and entertaining!
Very creative to mix the arts with science to enrich the world
There's one channel of audio - the channel I listened to when proofing the video. You listened to the other channel.There wa a 50/50 change of that.
Amazing video! Excellent job explaining what is synthetic biology!
Totally agree! Although the video is 11 years old and technology has moved on, it's still fun to watch, thanks!
every advance has many trade offs i agree. it will be interesting to see how this tech will be used in the future and who will be able to use it.
The implications of what this technology can do are both fascinating and frightening.
Incredibly well explained video. Loved it
A very Nice Explanation of Synthetic Biology and Programmble Matter startup...
@Africanlubo The computer doesn't actually create the DNA, they program the machine that makes it. But you can use computers to model specific new proteins and then get the DNA sequence to construct that protein. Or you can use computers to model 3D DNA - something called DNA origami useful for all sorts of things such as molecules for drug delivery. A Google search for DNA origami will turn up heaps
Hope this helps, Jason, TechNyou
Not to be rude but everyone figured that out on their own.
It'd be amazing if we could make a computer so powerful that is can manipulate matter
Thanks a lot ...the illustrations are really helpful
great video really explains the concept well.
but how do the computers create the DNA?
Where can you by one of these DNA sequences, I have a debate coming up and that would be a great prop
Needs more George Church... but great video overall and very nicely put put together.
Sound all in right channel to anyone else? Seems to be the vid. Make it mono?
Thanks Adrian!
Our children and grandchildren have interesting futures ahead. Let's hope it goes well!
may be too good maybe to bad it's dual use research.
It will. Bright, is the future!
Jordan, your time scale is off: in ten years time this technology will be in you home. It don't think people grasp the exponential rate that this science is growing at.
@@TheZoeBig 🤔...
This is just about the coolest damn thing I've ever seen.
Very good video to explain the subject.
Very interesting. I learned so much. Thanks!!
Congratulations and greetings from Mexico technyouvids
Can be generated a "carbon capturerer"?
Excellent video!
Excellent video, thanks!
Fascinating Stuff
Where can I design the gene blocks?
Kidney + Liver => Kliver :O
very Kliver ain't it
Super helpful, thank you 🙏🏾
Superb video.
FANTASTIC
great vid, thanks!
Simple and understandable.
They are, in fact, already working on this.
can i get research papaer used in ppt
amazing... thank you
One way it could be done perhaps (biologically) would be for the replicator to have a reservoir of specialised quickly-programmable "universal maker" bacteria which can each be programmed to construct and join a small segment of whatever object you wish to construct, and then die. So you'd start with a blob of bacteria, and it would gradually die off to reveal your object. This is the quickest (pie-in-the-sky) way to do it biologically that i can think of.
the best visuals
This I know. By bio-mechanical, I meant a fusion of biological and mechanical on the cellular level.
This is as fascinating as scary at the same time. Scared of the easiness by which this is accessible to anyone, and fear of potentially creating a bacteria that becomes unstoppable..
This technology is just coming online, genetic engineering was just coming online in the 70's, some drugs from that work came out in the 70s and 80s, but the area really fired up in the 90s with patents, drugs and foods. That should give you an idea of the timeline we're talking. Although, computing power (which is a big factor in all of this) is a lot faster now than is was then, so we could be talking this decade, maybe next.
Hello! Can I translite your videos? I need your permission to do it. Thanks
Bogdan Tuziak translite?
Hexbugman213 Translate
They'll be ready next Tuesday, maybe.
Great Science Fair idea
I don't see a major and minor groove on that double helix >:|
Also, it's not just sugar, you need a phosphorous source and nitrogen heterocycles from any garden variety garden!
And nitpicking is my hobby. Great video!
My right ear enjoyed this video a lot
Amazing
Very intriguing. Nice video. Narrator sounds like Christian Bale as an Aussie...
When can i order clones of myself? :)
This could also lead to some crazy ways to control humans behaviors. If one would create a synthetic parasite it could modify cells and therefore transform a person to the liking of the one who ingineered the parasite.
pls pls can someone tell me a Website of all animal DNA and were can i order my dna
well.. we don't have ALL animal dna but you can check the NCBI database www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov for some species and you can order dna from multiple companies... like www.thermofisher.com/aw/en/home.html don't go creating the next doomsday now... educate yourself well... and get close to some universities and see what kind of joint projects they have with people outside of the scientific community... some do projects with artists, photographers, architects, etc.

You're Breathtaking!
Sorry, what translation are you talking about?
omg GLOWING TREEHOUSE? I'm sold. As if I needed more reason to take biotech in university. =)
How are you after 8 years?😊
best explaination
Sorry, right now the best we can do in Bio-Mechanical right is probably hip replacements. Does that help? It doesn't help, does it....
What about the idea of an invincible immune system that includes a synthetic organism that reacts and creates new custom organism to specifically combat the new invader? Would that be possible?
I think that would become problematic at some point.
It'd probably be better to just make organs that reshape depending on the situation.
Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological parts, devices and systems that do not exist in the natural world and also the redesign of existing biological systems to perform specific tasks
Sooo, how do i get that job again?
Ultimately it is a enzyme from a termophilic bacteria(or archaea) that 'makes' the dna, its all coordonated by the computer and all the repetitive tasks are no longer done by hand by someone flipping switches but by robots controlled by a computer.
Soooooo.......ARE THERE GOING TO BE BIO-MECHANICAL CREATURES IN THE FUTURE?
I cried watching this..it's a beautiful concept!! XDDD
N glowing trees got me,LMAO!
Así es
... you'd have to give reasonable and effective parameters for this... and it'd have to be made of a highly sturdy and durable substance. (Such substances aren't good for making joints out of. It's best to wear solid armour.) ^_^
brilliant, reminds me of Hungry Beast in fact, I miss that show :(
good
As long as it's not owned by a few mega multi-national corporations.
stop your antisemitism at once!
Jonathan Ozik lmao
This was before the discovery of CRISPR/ Cas-9!
This is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the thing is, there won't be any difference between the two in the future, because biology is just advanced nanotechnology.
umm is the star trek maker thing possible?
Nice niceee eyval👌👌
40cents per base pair is pretty much considering how many base pairs human genome has
We could print an elf for less than $2.6 billion.
Compared to previous technologies, this gives us the ability to construct self-replicating things, which could require new safety procedures. The risk that we by accident build a doomsday machine is only likely in the movies.
gee what could go wrong?
Greed is good. Greed works.
Seriously though, it's great that people try to develop new technologies to solve problems for humans. If they get rich in the process, it's just because they are producing useful services. Unintended consequences can always happen, but it's not the kind of thing you can let yourself be paralyzed by with the huge potential biotechnology has to assist humanity.
THIS IS SOO FUCKING COOL!
I want a Kliver.. NOW!!
XQ
No, at least no in the foreseeable future. You might be able to get it to out compete and provide immunity against one or a couple related organisms now (which would be tremendous), but now what you described in the near future. Still everything is possible in science so someday that or something similar could potential be possible.
EPIC.
if it were possible, evolution would have already produced such an animal. This is kindof what most bacteria already is, and yet here we are.
fix your computer the audio is fine for me.
sure, but that's still going by nature rules,i'm talking about what happens when we at some point become so good at it that we begin making different kinds of people with different kinds of talents, then we at some point will end up with a class system for beings, and it's just downhill from there.
well, it's not actually that big a problem, it's more a problem if we accidentally destroy our self with this.
The visual transcription of what the scientists are saying must have been done by a machine or a non-native English speaker, because while usually phonetically correct, it is howlingly bad throughout.
Very true. We've got a tendency to bring about unintended consequences in nearly everything we do... That said, am I the only one who's dreaming of tree-ships?
Ahh, that explains why I had no sound.. My right speaker is borked :(
How about neurochemical engineering and hence memory engineering, if there's a time to manipulate the brain cells and their network....that moment could be so called the end of developing engineered human. Actually, I reckon genetic engineering is a matter of probability which means there we can see solution at least, but when it comes to brain networking part, god, extraterritorial yet. I want to born at the age when there's no language barrier as brain could be programmed like the genes.
Sharks with lasers. Ready, go!
''This leads us to the one logical conclusion... We are the gods now.''
Make trees glow, like in avatar! that would be so great.
Traditional notions of cyborgs might be a bit outdated; awkward, bulky metallic components (even inert ones) aren't exactly ideal matchups with your biology.
007 James Bond movie stuff. Nano meet DNA we gonna mess you up goood !
the tree house is genetically predisposed to want you too :)
So synthetic biologists might someday be able to engineer an arrow-proof knee?
in happy symbiosis.
