X Inactivation and Epigenetics (2017) Etsuko Uno wehi.tv

[@Guoldisney]

This team are the best molecular biology animators of the world. Not only because the videos look great, but they pay a lot of emphasis in brownian motion, random collisions, molecular twitching and protein overcrowded cell compartments. Being the most accurate artist view of the molecular sized life process, duplicates the beauty. Congrats!

[@satisfaction2009eBay]

These animations are easily the best media productions in the history of the universe. [tear drop]

I love the sound effects. Splat!

[@michasosnowski5918]

Drew Berry and Etsuko Uno are gods for making this kind of animations happen. The rest of the team also does great job. Thank you!

This is blowing my mind. I dont understand like 80% of what hes saying but in highschool these are the questions I wondered but couldnt properly ask. I wanted to see. I wanted to see what was happening. Id ask questions but the teacher would look at me like I was crazy. I love watching these videos. Life is ridiculously complicated

[@hilaltuncer6149]

the best animation about epigenetics...

[@TheMarcopolo83]

The best video of epigenetic ever, no doubt!!

[@fleks16]

I absolutely love it! A whole lecture of epigenetics in 10 minutes. Hats down!

[@geisonizidio]

Fantastic video! But we have more than just epigenetics here 😃👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@michaelqiu9722]

Not really. You don’t know basic stuff in epigenetics like H3K27me3, Chip-seq, DNMT and TET enzymes etc.

[@Gelatinocyte2]

@@michaelqiu9722 that doesn't sound like "basic stuff", you just listed names of specific proteins/DNA sequences/RNA molecules (whichever they are).

[@michaelqiu9722]

@@Gelatinocyte2 It's basic for people who study epigenetics

[@Gelatinocyte2]

@@michaelqiu9722 you mean it's basic for *doctors* who *specialize* in epigenetic diseases. This video DOES touch upon the very basic (general basics) of epigenetics - like DNA methylation, and nucleosome modification and remodeling.

[@neccowaif9]

Those sound effects! I love how they convey how squishy it all is in there. Thanks for these videos!

[@ThiagoBenazziMaia]

Amazing work. I can just imagine the time take to made all this thousand atoms dynamics to work for the video.

[@eireannsg]

The computer did it.

[@Xakana]

This was riveting. This was included in my Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression class. Absolutely fascinating to watch. Thank you!

[@CzechNeight]

I don't see anyone else use audio as a metaphor. The sound effects makes these videos so much more engaging and accessible. I love stuff at this level of science that is meant for a wide audience. AND ITS 11 YEARS OLD!

[@kunalpatil4612]

This was absolutely amazing, with crystal clear explanation, visual and sound effects. The best educational video I have watched so far. Thank you very much!

[@IntraFinesse]

I enjoyed the lecture. Great animation, it helped me visualize what was going on.

[@ringoze]

Really like the voice-over style too.

[@iestynne]

Absolutely unbelievable. It's like magic. So hard to grasp that this evolved via stochastic processes. I do wonder if human technology will ever catch up. It's just so so far ahead of us, and took such a monumental optimization process to create.

[@guitarkatie]

i love the sound on this!

[@gspb4]

hands down one of the best biology videos

[@goaheadmakemyday7126]

That's really, REALLY cool. But my question is why does the X chromosome undergo inactivation? If the female's autosomal chromosomes don't have to undergo inactivation and both of all her autosomal chromosomes can be active at the same time, then why must one of these X chromosomes be turned off?

[@PatrickStaight]

Do the histones detach from the inactive X chromosomes during mitosis (and then reattach immediately after)?

[@hansmack6792]

Your videos are so good! Thanks for your scientific and artistic effort!

[@gustavbloom7768]

Amazing. Is there any debate about the sound effects ? I would vote for leaving them out. Thanks.

[@TechyBen]

Nucleosome sliding? Wow. That is amazing. The fidelity and accuracy of the system is brilliant.

[@inkajoo]

considering that all this evolved over time by itself, seems the essence of brilliance itself, or perfection, isn't actually rooted in the idea of the miracle, or spontaneous creation, but rather the patient testing and selection of alternative possibilities, and openness to change.

[@TechyBen]

Roger Levy Sorry, that assumes the conclusion. I'm open to possibilities. Though I prefer what is most probable. As you say, we are required to think about these things, we cannot learn about them by selecting our beliefs by "chance". :)

[@WellThatsSilly]

What you're saying really, is that if you have a jar of clock parts, and shake it for long enough, you may end up with a perfectly functioning timepiece? With the ability to not only write down its own plans, but also replicate itself by reading those plans. While the jar is still being shook.

[@TechyBen]

That is the truly difficult part of it all. Get any (mathematical, logical or physical laws) system, then arrange it such that it does exactly what simple life/cells/DNA with RNA does. It seems to leave us with two difficult conclusions. Either the space of all possible arrangements is too large to allow for a chance, or we have to accept it as a given. The two ways to look at the requirement for the unprobable to have happened, is either that all possibilities did happen, or that one was more preferred over the other. No matter how we look at it, life is unique, and not mundane.

[@pdjinne65]

Life is so incredibly complex. I don't think our brains are supposed to be able to understand all this, but it's fascinating that they can by naming things and understanding patterns. Compared to it, our micro-processors, CPUs, GPUs and AIs are children toys.

[@patchouliknowledge8112]

Can you explain me how does allele gene's interaction of 2 female's X chromosomes work? I mean, if, for example, haemophilla disease appears as an X-linked recessive inheritance and a dominant gene turned up to be in inactivated X chromosome, so how does recessive gene expression can be suppressed by an inactivated gene in allele chromosome?

[@citizenofNecropoliS]

absolutely love the narration and sound effects!thnx!:)

[@priyankasasmal4879]

Thankyou for the detailed information. I liked the animation also. Can you help me solve the doubt which arised .. What happens when their is an X-linked disease in females if one of the X chromosome is inactive? We say that males are more susceptible to the X-linked diseases since they have only one X chromosome and females have another X-chromosome to overcome the defects in one X -chromosome.. So how it happens if the other X- chromosome is inactive?

[@Taropok]

2:55 what happens during meiosis, does the inactive X chromosome gets reactivated again? what happens during mitosis, does the inactive X chromosome gets inactivated again in the new cells?

[@drouhin]

OMG. I'm female, and I'm a little freaked out right now. >:O Awesome animation, though, and a great pedagogic tool.

Thank you so much. Very helpful (if creepy sound effects - maybe that helped the info imprint on my memory lol). At the point when the egg has both maternal and paternal X chromosomes - before methylation occurs to silence one of the Xs,: DOES Crossover occur at this point (just before the silencing)?

what happens to the inactive X chromosome during segregation ???? is it active or inactive ????

Who created us with this detail and harmony? I'm still baffled by one cell work, can't get my head wrapped around it and yet 100 billions of cell working in harmony which makes one of us a scientist, another a thief, a lawyer, doctor, a homeless, a brocker and so on and so forth. I am going crazy by all this precise detailed engineering that generates all kinds of molecular machines and regenerate itself. WOW.
