But what is CRISPR-Cas9? An animated introduction to Gene Editing.

This CRISPR animation visualizes how the CRISPR/Cas immune system was identified in bacteria and how the CRISPR/Cas9 system was developed for genome editing. This CRISPR animation also covers the history of gene editing, including zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALE nucleases, TALEN). A history of Jennifer Doudna, Emmanuelle Charpentier, Francisco Mojica, David Liu, and their contributions are described, such as the development of base editing and prime editing. We also go beyond just cutting DNA and discuss how CRISPR turns gene expression on (CRISPR activation, CRISPRa) and off (CRISPR inhibition, CRISPRi) to fluorescently tagging particular sequences (e.g. GFP). This animation explores some of the exciting possibilities of CRISPR-Cas9 biotechnology, including designer babies, genetically modified humans, the end of diseases, and genetic engineering.
But what is CRISPR-Cas9? An animated introduction to Gene Editing.
This video was made by Harrison Ngue, student at Harvard University, as the final project for the course Chemistry 177: The Chemistry, Biology, and Societal Implications of Genome Editing, taught by Professor David Liu and Aditya Raguram. Special thanks to both for providing feedback on this video!

This video is literally "Perfect". Thank you for making and sharing this high quality video. It was so helpful to me

This has been so far the most creative science video I've come across. You're literally genius for putting the whole concept in such a perfect sequence and narrating it so gracefully. You literally broke those stereotypes about how science ain't easy to understand. I mean this really is Exceptional !!! Thank you soo much for such amazing efforts 💖

[@podunkest]

While this has definitely gotten a lot of attention and recognition, including a Nobel prize, I still feel like this is such a monumental discovery their names should be household names up there with Darwin, Einstein and co. It's one of those things that you'd never figure out yourself in a million years but is so elegant and conceptually simple to grasp once it's shown to you.

[@PowerhouseCell]

It’s definitely a monumental discovery! It won a Nobel Prize only about ~7 years after its initial discovery as a gene editing tool, which is an incredibly quick turnaround for the Nobel. Only time will tell how widely the scientists will be remembered centuries later - super happy to hear that you’re finding it conceptually simple :)

[@philidor9657]

Science is in a different era than it was when Darwin, Einstein, etc. were performing research. There are far far more scientists out there making discoveries nowadays. And science has got so advanced that the layman can no longer really follow these discoveries without help. So back in the day in Darwin’s time for example, the origin of species was still mostly a mystery. Darwin’s discovery brought a scientific understanding to something we all already could see and visualize. That is why it felt like such a significant discovery. It WAS a significant discovery, but it reached many more people. The scientific details in important discoveries nowadays are so advanced that the layman can no longer follow along. So you can go to a random person and say “CRISPR-CAS9 is amazing can do x and y and works by doing z” and most people would stare at you blankly. Not to say that it’s wrong, just most people won’t understand the significance because it’s an advanced topic, and if they can’t relate to a discovery they have no reason to learn a scientists name. Just a sign of the times.

@@PowerhouseCell Do you ever question the dogma you were taught in primary and secondary school? Mutations are not random as traditionally taught in neo-Darwinism. Molecular biologist Miroslav Radman writes, "Mutagenesis has traditionally been viewed as an unavoidable consequence of imperfections in the process of DNA replication and repair. But if diversity is essential to survival, and if mutagenesis is required to generate such diversity, perhaps mutagenesis has been positively selected for throughout evolution." Evelyn Fox Keller explains: "We now know that mechanisms for enduring genetic stability are a product of evolution. Yet a surprising number of mutations in which at least some of these mechanisms are disabled have been found in bacteria living under natural conditions. Why do these mutants persist? Is it possible that they provide some selective advantage to the population as a whole? Might the persistence of some mutator genes in a population enhance the adaptability of that population? Apparently so. New mathematical models of bacterial populations in variable environments confirm that, under such conditions, selection favors the fixation of some mutator alleles and furthermore, that their presence accelerates the pace of evolution." The mutants behind autism for example offer some great advantages to the human race, diminishing the genes is a great risk because without those mechanisms there is no asurety of genetic stability pushing us in the direction of extinction. Open your eyes and realise CRISPR-Cas9 is actually the continuation of the racist, discriminatory eugenics movement. They have already completed the artificial selection process of "selective breeding," once they can do screening on other disabilities besides down syndrome they're going to edit all disabled people out of existence even though we're needed. A predisposition gene in one environment may be the very gene required to survive in an alternative environment with foreign environmental factors. If all British people went to America genetically identical, they are all likely to die if there's one foreign environmental factor they're vulnerable to, the "fittest" genes in one environment will not be the fittest in others.

I have a question tho, you mentioned that there must be a "NGG" sequence adjacent to the "target" sequence so that it only effects the virus. I was wondering if this is also the case while gene editing, therefore when we attach guide RNA, would it only cut the ones with "NGG" sequence next to it? and if yes, does that cause any trouble?

Hi-- Great to see a fellow educator here! I don't use a specific animation software actually, it's a combination of Manim, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro. There's a steep learning curve but it gets the job done. Glad you enjoyed, and please feel free to share with your fellow educators and students so that more people can learn!
