[@mollymontgomery4565]

I first discovered this song when I was 13 or 14. Back then I had no bio knowledge, and basically only listened to this song for the epic harmonies. However many years later, I am now a college student learning about CRISPR in my gen ed bio class, so I came back to this song to see if I understood it any more. The result is me going wildly back and forth between understanding and being even more confused than I already was. A recreation of me watching this: "Encoding for a specific protein" - oh yeah, cuz the RNA guide's really easy to program, I bet it searches out specific sequences that make proteins, yeah this makes kind of sense "Make a few snips at this coded locus" - yeah yeah yeah i'm actually understanding this! "You work so well inside a streptococcus" - aaaaaand you lost me

[@annesmith9642]

I'm sure you'll get there, Molly.

[@AninditaRoy1]

Haha, you'll get there. The cas9 that was developed into the gene editing tool was from Streptococcus pyrogens and it works beautifully inside the bacteria to target and kill the bacteriophage trying to infect it.

This is actually one of the best put together science song I've ever heard!

[@neophoys]

I worked my ass off for 4 months to assemble Cas9-RNPs in-vivo but the dear Mr. Cas9 just wouldn't perform as asked. Thank you for lightening my mood and keeping the entire lab motivated :)

[@Ravenlock]

Watching this again after the Leukocyte video just dropped and it still just leaves my jaw on the floor. Holy shit, man. What. A. Song.

[@Beniguitar94]

As a biochemist and a musician, you took my heart and made me laugh like a baby. My most sincere gratitude.

[@metrez4537]

Still to this day this is one of the most underrated videos.

[@KarnmanGT500]

oh my god, i get freaking CHILLS at the part that starts at 2:30

[@johannesh7610]

This is a masterpiece of a really professional niveau. For creating this as a single person deserves all my respect!

[@brimkins]

Now it gained a Nobel Prize. Epic!!!

[@AAAAAAARRRGGGG]

This has been stuck in my head all day! I have been singing it to my lab friends! Thank you so much for writing this and for all the work you put in to put into making this video!

[@KadenMacKay]

If anyone needs me, I’ll be listening to this on repeat for the next two hours

[@gavinw1732]

1:23 ❤️

[@Maerahn]

WOAAAH! I heard the audio preview version of this and loved it, but being hearing-impaired I couldn't appreciate the full magical beauty of it. Now I've seen the video (and the accompanying subtitled lyrics, yay!) I can unleash my full-on awe. Spectacular job!

[@rafael75839]

Today a Nobel Prize was won for CRISPR-Cas9 discovery

[@anneogborn961]

It's 1:30am I'm in front of a screen full of incomprehensible gibberish and your video's on cause, yeah, it's that time of night - video starts with an ad for CRISPR something and I just roll with it - took over a minute to realize this was the ad, not your video. Thanks for making late night logic programming a bit saner.

[@Ian-bf4yk]

You know I imagine the editing of human genes came faster than you expected.

[@mattf2219]

This hits so damn hard... not only is it incredibly informational but it's also just musically magnificent.

[@lemons107]

This must surely be one of the greatest things on KZbin

[@GuillaumeHuetGH]

Since hearing this tune all these years ago I can't read a news about CRISPR Cas9 without singing it in my head... Since it was all over the news the last few days (Nobel hype), I had to watch it again. Still genius

[@joolzzenda]

An appropriately epic song for an epic scientific breakthrough :D Brilliant as always!

[@courtneyy7789]

Absolutely incredible as always. Still can't understand why your channel hasn't blown up more.

[@losfachmenn6365]

this aged well lol

[@wissamkadamani]

i came back here to watch it after like 2 years of not watching it. I'm re-realizing how OP the lyrics are. THEY'RE OVERPOWERED OMG

[@quintopia]

"with adenine and thymine incite a scene" is the best pun I've heard in a long time.

[@sararobin9452]

Most underrated KZbin content. Keep up the good work!

[@FirstnameLastname-oj9ep]

I believe the world is a better place because this version of this song exists.

[@frankboff1260]

This an absolute work of genius. 💖

[@nelliebachesneg6655]

I... there are no words. I mean, I've seen some good stuff on KZbin and some of it was on your channel(s), but that.... that actually made me tear up. My jaw was on the floor and salt water was coming out of my eyeballs. Dare I say that was better than bohemian gravity. And let it me known that I have memorized that song and sing it at work. I just... wow dude. Props to you. Well done sir, well done.

[@aav56]

You seem like you have many words.

[@thoseradstars]

I tear up also when I get about halfway through. It’s a combo of my passion for musicianship / vocalizing (many forms) and my passion for medical biology, as well as probably also my autism.

[@astro_gabe]

I must have watched this hundreds of time already and never noticed that you hold up scissors at 0:32. How did I miss that?

[@trishpulley]

Hell's bells, that's a lot of Tims! It's so evident that an enormous amount of work and talent goes into these! Well done.

[@JeremyFieldingSr]

You really nailed it! Fantastic job

[@Stingraysquad]

This is the greatest introductory lesson in gene editing i've ever attended

[@Ludifant]

Ok, this is way beyond nice. This is ridiculous... This is brilliant musically, textually and graphically (Art Deco Voronoi, anyone?). Also the molecular shape of you contains some of the best explanatory animations of electron clouds I've seen to date. Extremey well done! I'm eagerly awaiting your next project and well on my way through your portfolio enjoying myself immensely. I would be mortified of making a mistake, if I were you, but given the detail and the broad knowledge displayed I guess there is a team behind this for fact checking? Cudo's to all.. Way to make nerdy science cool and even mainstream.

[@Mrcollinvideo]

The air bass having proper fingerings is what gets me more than anything.

[@annesmith9642]

Tim Blais is awesome!

[@anajimenez1702]

Today I read the news of the new chemistry Nobel prize and thanks to this song I knew what they were talking about

[@Avolve8]

this is the first time i heard Rattata in a scientific production...
