Thanks for this video. I'm a geneticist but took early retirement 9 years ago - so I too haven't seen this model of the 3D spatial organisation of interphase chromosomes in the nucleus. It's fascinating! You've made my day!

[@emeraldvalleyquilting]

I love your videos! They are packed full of information. I do wish your background music was more in the background. . . quieter. It is hard to concentrate on the "meaty" information with how "loud" the music is. But, keep doing more videos. I love being able to understand this stuff better.

[@MrMikkyn]

True. Music is too loud. I noticed that. I had to put the subtitles on.

[@14vimalk]

You should rename your video to "Chromosomes Don’t Look Like What You Think!"

[@KnakuanaRka]

[@vegangelo_29]

[@mayazucchini7991]

vsmash2 ok.

[@tamneal]

I concur!

[@worldaviation4k]

I just want to find out how they physically manoeuvred the DNA in order to take samples and to change the DNA. What do i search to find out that? Usually it's just animations

[@T-Even_phage_destroyer]

It’s been awhile but i just want to say i think your best bet if you haven’t found out yet is to probably read some science journals that scientists have written and they should explain how they maneuvered it.

[@luisdiaz1997]

So the animations of chromatin are not necessarily right, but the input data is from DNA-DNA interactions. How this is done is through a technique Chromatin Conformation Capture (Hi-C), this is done by "freezing" the DNA, then "chopping" DNA using enzymes, and gluing everything back by ligation. Then you can get 2D maps of DNA contacts. You can visualize these maps here: higlass.io/

[@ivarkrabol]

I don't get it... What's incorrect about the common double helix depiction of DNA? Or are you just saying that that's not the full story, because it doesn't show the several levels of coiling?

[@Skoomz]

I think they're assuming people think that's how dna exists in a cell. Anyone who took biology would know about the coiling, but i assume they thought most people didn't know about it.

[@tylerpeterson4726]

Ivar Kråbøl IMO, the worst part about the simple double helix is that it doesn't show the protein globs. Those proteins play an essential role in stabilizing the DNA. DNA does not release from those proteins for very much time. Just long enough to make an RNA molecule. DNA is also quite charged. Without the protein, the DNA might make moving through the nucleus impossible due to the excessive charges.

[@EliosMoonElios]

Double helix is good, he is just using the new data to make a video, in fact there is not need to despise common DNA image. Same with the commonly know atom image(solar system-like) nowadays scientist know atom look different but the common image works really well to make scientist stuff because the real atom image is not well know yet and is useless.

[@damarisi5805]

Yup, kinda deceiving title

[@markzambelli]

Ivar Kråbøl Don't worry... it's the same as saying that a wire, string or wool isn't a single straight strand because it isn't wound into a reel or ball... we know what string looks like whether it's balled-up or not. He even showed his headphone cable... headphone cable is a cable, not a balled-up jumble of knots! The double helix (ie a 'strand' of DNA) is still a very real picture. To me, this vid is pretty pedantic on that score... shoulda been called something else.

[@colettesheaff4180]

Thank you for giving Ms. Franklin credit

[@TheCrewExpendable]

Colette Sheaff I think you mean Dr. Franklin! :)

[@ellislyon4804]

all dr Franklin did was x ray DNA, she had x ray machines available. The two doctors that were credited with the discovery of DNA didn't have access to x ray machines. So basically she had a special camera that most docs didn't have. So the two men doctors are much more worthy of the award for discovering DNA.

[@Markle2k]

+Ellis Lyon So all she had was the equipment to make the observation, the skill to use that equipment properly, and the knowledge to recognize what it was she had seen. But hey, testicles.

[@sabihasayeed1670]

She didn't just perform the X-ray diffraction on the crystallised DNA. She was the one who crystallised DNA (produced crystallised DNA) in the first place. What would those fancy instruments diffract if she hadn't crystallised it?

[@KnakuanaRka]

I thought everyone gave her credit.

[@shelpow]

This just blew my mind. I'll have to watch out like 5 times just to get it! Thank you so much.

[@suzanakovacic5199]

You should make a video on what happens when you are jet lagged.

[@shayanmoosavi9139]

It's because of the blue light. Animals are hardwired to be awake and alert when blue light hits their eye. That's an evolutionary trait animals gained to regulate their sleep. That's how our body knows when to sleep. When we get close to night blue light decreases and the sky will go dark. Then our body will start to produce a hormone called melatonin that makes you sleepy. Blue light however messes with your biological clock and prevents melatonin to form. That's exactly why working with a smartphone before bed is a bad idea because it also emits blue light and disturbs your biological clock.

[@RainAngel111]

Kinda misleading. DNA zoomed in still looks like a double helix. The title should really be "chromosomes don't look the way you think".

[@metaliommi]

RainAngel111 thank you!

[@Skoomz]

I just made this same exact point!

[@jacobkhu-oldacc.4491]

RainAngel111 exactly my thoughts! Some know-it-all video just wants to debunk something ended up telling a whole new story which is unrelated. Geez At the end of the day, he just kept talking mumbo jumbo abt organisation of DNA clusters (chromosomes) in cells and didn't get to the main point a single bit. Thumbs down

[@dinaamjad9854]

FINALLY!

[@widdershins2687]

Love the video, but the music? Oiiiii! It was hard to hear you over it. How about just a bit at the beginning and the end?

[@trapfethen]

The video was very informative; however, that background noise track was almost as loud as the speech which made it hard to hear some parts.

[@michaelgabriel_music]

What little I could hear above the background music was awesome. Thank goodness for closed captioning.

[@MalamikArt]

music too loud :( This is why I think many small communities are important.

[@macronencer]

Fascinating video, but please check the sound mix. When listening at low volumes I couldn't hear you over the music very well. Music is often mixed too high on KZbin, it's a very common mistake.

[@tamneal]

Totally agree macronencer

[@richardrobertson1331]

A re-posting a 'no music video' for those of us who want to hear the words, rather than reading the subscripts and trying to view the video at the same time would be nice. Just a thought.

[@TaroutCommodore]

Why is the background music so loud, wtf

[@nomaed]

Commodore1236 It's the speech volume too low :p

[@wombat.6652]

[@MsJonesScience]

nice! this is a great video with great content. great marketing strategies too 😉 it's mind blowing how much dna fits inside a tiny nucleus and shapes perfectly. this is why i love science. the music was a little loud in the video, almost drowns out your message :)

[@pheaton6]

Awesome video! Always wondered how so much DNA could remain unwound but not get tangled inside that tiny nucleus! Computer modeling will help push knowledge of biology forward, can't wait for the future!

So DNA actually looks the way I thought it looked? What's the point of this title?

[@AJ-xm4xc]

Syra Madeily You thought that it looked like a ball? 3:21

[@AJ-xm4xc]

Pedro SG No, I understand dna’s double-helical structure. I was merely commenting on another comment.

[@AJ-xm4xc]

Pedro SG I see your point, however it might be that I took his point slightly different, and since it was intended as a joke.

[@Seamemaria]

DNA encodes life and soon it already allows us to store information in huge amounts in almost no volume. How can you not love it? =D Thanks for the great video

[@Mekratrig]

Suggestion - lower the backgrond muzak, and bump up the speaker's volume.

[@___xyz___]

Well, I hate to tell you this, but DNA looks _EXACTLY_ how I thought it would look. I'm unfazed.

[@gabrielzaremba1864]

Actually that whole "bad DNA" thing is not true. It is true that most DNA is found in a right handed spiral, but left handed spirals also exist. There are three biologically acitve forms of DNA (A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA). Both A and B variaties are right handed spirals, but Z-DNA is a left handed spiral. And it actually plays a role in RNA editing by interacting with certain enzymes.

[@pragyaagrawal]

Gabriel Zaremba thank you... I was searching for this comment for a while now.

[@vanessarainone7307]

Yeah, you’re right but you have to consider that Z-DNA isn’t as “regular” as B-DNA. I mean, when u search for picture of DNA (like the image he shows us in the end) what u will look at is B-DNA’ s pictures, so it is incorrect to draw DNA with left-handed helix.

[@canbilgin4584]

"DNA Doesn't Look Like What You Think!", "Biology textbooks are full of drawings of DNA, but none of those show what DNA actually looks like." Taken from the title and their own comment. Well they don't show DNA the way that you did because what you are talking about is chromatin, not DNA. Sure it includes it, but you can't use the two terms interchangeably. That's why you will never see chromatin as DNA in biology textbooks. So what I leave you guys with is AMERIKA EXBLAINE!

[@chrisarias4055]

What about RNA? Now that's the real building block

[@besmart]

Don't worry, I'll get to RNA some day. That's what I did my PhD on!

[@Dr_Bille]

I think of mRNA as the ram of a computer. The DNA is the hard drive, and the enzyme that it makes is the output of the program

[@FrennisDaemon]

Mads Andreasen A more accurate for RNA, might be a flash drive, since it not only stores genetic information, but can transfer it as well. This is, of course, my rudimentary understanding of it.

[@tylerpeterson4726]

FrennisDaemon Close, but RNA is also processed. It's quite simple processing, but it's there. It's like transferring a program onto a Raspberry Pi from your desktop.

[@Beezgetz]

music too loud or you are too quiet, to consider...

[@panotch]

Cool video! But in the end you left with a very vague conclusion: mirrored DNA is a bad DNA. So questions! How bad is a bad DNA? Is it bad because it doesn't occur in nature? If so, why? Or it's bad because it will cause cell to malfunction? If so, how? Do you have examples? If I understand correctly a mirrored version of some molecule has different chemical/biological properties. Is it the case for DNA? Or just its physical arrangement preventing mRNA to correctly copy the data? Thanks

[@besmart]

1) Left-handed B-DNA doesn't exist in nature 2) Left-handed B-DNA can't be read by the cell's machinery 3) Left-handed B-DNA can't be made by the cell's machinery

[@panotch]

It's Okay To Be Smart Thanks!

[@bigdickpornsuperstar]

But I'm left handed. Ha! Explain that! JK. Couldn't resist.

[@frankschneider6156]

+It's Okay To Be Smart B-ZNA is right-handed. A right-handed spiral is not left-handed. so that there is no left-handed B-DNA is as obvious as it's trivial. But why do you tell people who can't know better, that there would be no left-handed DNA ? That's rubbish and every bsaic textbook of melecular biology tells you that. Ever heard of Z-DNA ? You should, 1st semester biochemistry. Does it have biological relevance ? Can biological molecules bind to it ? Sure they can: Herbert, Alfken, Kim, Mian, Nishikura, Rich (1997). "A Z-DNA binding domain present in the human editing enzyme, double-stranded RNA adenosine deaminase.". Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94 (16): 8421-6 Herbert, Schade, Lowenhaupt, Alfken, Schwartz, Shlyakhtenko, Lyubchenko, Rich (1998). "The Zalpha domain from human ADAR1 binds to the Z-DNA conformer of many different sequences". Nucleic Acids Res. 26 (15): 2669-72 Why are you people telling such crap ? Given, B-DNA is the by far most common conformation, but there is a difference between telling "there is none, never ever, it's only right-handed, everything else is wrong and a lie" and "it's mostly right-handed".

[@warrenmcdonald8170]

I was thinking something similar Brandon. It seems odd that every time we look closer at life, it gets more and more complicated. And yet some people believe that these insanely complex system that build more insanely complex system, that build even more insanely complex systems, can all be created and function purely by accident. And not just one accident, but millions of accidents stacked upon millions of accidents. It's like believing that if you roll a 20 sided die 20 million times it will come up a 20 every single time. And then saying that it's no big deal and probably happens all the time. Maybe it's just me, but if I found a nanobot that was microscopic, could self replicate, and build a fully functional robot trillions of times it's size, I would think there was something more involved than just random chance.

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait The earth began to cool, the autotrophs began to drool Neanderthals developed tools We built a wall (we built the pyramids) Math, science, history, unraveling the mysteries That all started with the big bang! Hey! Since the dawn of man is really not that long As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song A fraction of a second and the elements were made The bipeds stood up straight, the dinosaurs all met their fate They tried to leap but they were late And they all died (they froze their asses off) The oceans and Pangea, see ya wouldn't wanna be ya Set in motion by the same big bang! It all started with the big bang! It's expanding ever outward but one day It will cause the stars to go the other way Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be hurt Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang! Australopithecus would really have been sick of us Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses) Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy) It all started with the big bang!

No, DNA is not a "social construct". And no, it hasn't "come to that".

[@tom_something]

Is this a reference to the concept of gender as a social construct? Because gender _is_ a social construct. When someone says they were born male but identify as female, that does not mean they believe that their DNA is an illusion or that their DNA is subjective. There's no denying what your chromosomes are. However, there's plenty of room for disagreement on what those chromosomes should mean about your station in life.

[@tom_something]

And generally, it's kind of a dick move to turn this discussion into something it wasn't. Imagine a transgender person who is interested in biology watching this video because they found the title interesting, just as anyone else would. Then they see your comment. Why did they need to see that? Why, just from watching this video, should they be reminded about the struggles they face as a transgender person?

[@Orenotter]

Since watching this the first time, I have learned that DNA is much more interesting than we thought. Right handed DNA can form a left-handed helix and often does.

Now tackle why currents move from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, but electrons move in the reverse direction.

DNA Doesn’t Look Like You Think! but... i never think about how DNA looks like... who sits around and think what a DNA looks like... why is that even a thing?...

[@PretzelPunch]

Tell Me This So your basically saying it's only me

[@catherinepierce8841]

your comments are always the best 😁

[@jimmygunnarsson1342]

I highly doubt anyone outside the field of biology thinks about the wonders of DNA on a daily basis. But, his point still stands. When we do think of DNA we would have thought of the double helix, which he falsified.

[@kuatsidikwahyono294]

Well, me. I guess

[@Cythil]

Some do. And there is a good reason to think about how it looks. Without trying to figure this out then we would not have figured out the basic coding mechanism of DNA. It would still be bits of mysterious strings to us. By getting a clear and clear picture we and understand how DNA code for things which in turn lets us find new cures and use bio engineering to solve our problems. Personally, I see this just as atomic models. There several. Some more accurate than others. Sometimes a less accurate model might be actually more useful as it helps you build an understanding of the fundamentals before you dive deeper. So even if the Bohr model of atoms is less correct then atomic orbital model it still has it uses.

Am I the only one looking at the DNA at the end of the video and thinking they've got the real and badDNA images backwards? LOL!

this is all the proof anyone needs to know god is great :)

[@johanschneiders6293]

If the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist, then why does our DNA look like pasta? I'm sorry

[@sti454]

and two million children who die slow painful deaths every year is all the proof anyone needs to know that god is far from great.

[@NjBou]

GamesGirlsMovies I thought of that, too. Like HOW does someone believe that NOTHING created all of this? Like...POOF this stuff happened on their own through a process only, without anything setting it into motion.

[@Dispatern]

Two million? I thought eight million children die from starvation every year. And even more from other causes. And yes, I also don't believe in a god.

[@brian554xx]

It's not even sufficient proof that any god is _possible._ Whatever flavor of whichever religion you follow, you are just as incorrect as everyone else is about their religion. Every religion is a childish coping mechanism for people unable to face reality. I hope you find the strength to examine how it is you came to believe what you do, why anyone believes in any religion. If you need emotional support along the way, I'm here.

Yeah I seen the double helix of a dna strand one time when I was walking down my road and I was like “ that’s backwards”

[@minutebrainperson8324]

Speaking of common misleading visualisations, at 0:51 the light wave is drawn as if it oscillates spatially. In fact it's a straight line (neglecting spacetime curvature) in space, with oscillating electromagnetic field strength.
