The quality of the animation is sooo good! I'm used to seeing amateurish work in these edutainment animations. This animator actually understands stretch, correct physics, motion blur etc.

I couldn't understand RNAi well, but this lecture is very clever and help my study so much! Thanks!!! Before then, I was a little confused by technical terms of this phenomenon.

The cooking metaphor sorta makes it a bit more confusing for me

I wish to contribute myself in creating this kind of educative videos when I grow up. This is so much meaningful.

Moral of the story, Chop up unsatisfied customers.

Great video , best metaphor ever and I like the cute animation

Let me summarize everything in one shot ( actually this is the project that I've been assigned) So rna interference is basically used to prevent gene expression ( prevention of translation and hence production of proteins ) So to do it artificially we use vectors and introduce the desired dna . Now this dna produces both sense and anti sense strand these being complementary to each other bind together . Dicer proteins sense these and chop them and these thereby approach the m rna and slicer protein comes and chops down the m rna too So , viola ! We've successfully prevented the gene expression

This is the best explanation out there. Thanks a bunch! Really appreciate it.

woww........difficult topic explained in very easy way.......thanks a lotttt

That RNA decking the other RNA caught me off guard and had me bustin up!

What a classic video. I watched this video when I was studying for my MCAT and now I am in medical school, studying for USMLE Step 1 and came across an RNA question and it reminded me of this. Thank you so much for these videos!

Amazing communication of science in this video!

The voice has perfect timing to understanding.

Where were you when I was looking all over KZfaq to understand rnai for my biology test yesterday 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Trying to make it relatable, you guys screwed with the explanation 100 times more!

This video is awesome! Its so informative! Good job alex!

this video is 4 weeks to late. tried to understand it for an exam, but the information given was too confusing. this video sums it up perfectly :)

Something along those lines, but NO, no one volunteers. Neuroscientists study patients who already had an accident or a stroke, which lead to damage in certain localities in the brain. During and after preliminary treatment by ER physicians and/or neurosurgeons, scans are done, including MRI, fMRI, CT, PET, etc. which help localize the injured parts. After doing whatever they can, the patients are assessed behaviorally and compared to before the accident, etc., as well as normal brain scans.

too good difficult concept discussed very easily

I'm shocked when I saw that this video is 10 years old! I'm currently working as a research physician with a pharma company developing RNAi drug to treat obesity.

Wow I didn't know Alex Dainis narrated a Ted-Ed video !

Ribosome: what can I get for you Red blood cell: S-Sugar Ribosome: so glucose? Red blood cell: S-S-Sugar Ribosome: I don’t have the full ingredients for that Red blood cell: rolls on the floor screaming

This video is absolutely amazing

Thanks I'm good at learning this way

Oh man that was impressive I understand everything. ❤thank you

AHHH this is so addictive.

what was that at 2:18, wooallaaaa....!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Nice animation and correctly explained with an example of a kitchen. Pretty helpful for explaining to the students. 👍 👍 👍

The animation was awesome

Congratulations Alex! What an accomplishment...

I'm sure I'd understand it better without the metaphor lol

wow Alex! That is way cool. You are certainly making an impact! Thank you!

Nice animation! I liked it a lot

Best TED video, ever!

Wow! So complex yet so organized and it all happened by chance?...At least that's what some people believe. This is what science must be all about. Things we can observe, study and test.

I read that RNAi is also being used to deal with the varroa destructor mites that are devastating beehives.

thank was sooooo amazing people

Succinctly narrated; wonderfully illustrated :)

this video is so amazing.

such a nice video.

Best video on this topic...Thanks a lot😊

Perfect explanation

there are many kinds of rna, some sends message from dna to the ribosome to create proteins, some are attached to the ribosome used to create protein.

Thank you

Alex for the win!

superb..........saw genetic engineering class via kitchen mechanism

OMG what a great explanation!

imagine ur body housing silent assassins. lol

The body is [mostly, I think] reactive not active. Enough material is floating around inside to keep the process going even though the prices don't know where they're going.

Congrats Alex!

wonderfully done

Loved it .....well done Alex

Why good videos like this has so little watches?

Thank you for the lesson.

Lovely video. Thank you.

Aw well done Alex!

thank you for making wonderful video

Congratulations alex, this is cool!

very nice and simple

Wow, gruesome.

The animation is hilariously violent!

A fantastic video, thank you for this

beautiful. thanks

That is stunning 😍 Thanks a lot 🙏 💓

How does our cells know which RNA is virus RNA vs our own good RNA

what a cute animation!

That video was great really love it 😍😍

well explained

Thx

How do you manipulate expression in gene expression, is this possible to do within yourself without any external help?

superb video !

I'm a bit depressed that the video isn't in german. It would be pretty perfect for my presentation tomorrow, but in fact its in english - most of my course wouldn't understand it directly :(

중간에 나오는 푸른빛집명나방이 아니라 예쁜꼬마선충(C.elegans)이 맞는거 같은데 ... I think that Korean subtitles are wrong. lI hear as [예쁜꼬마선충 - C.elegans] , but the Koean subtitle is [푸른빛집명나방Teliphasa elegans ] 영어 고수님들 이거 보시면 제대로된 영문으로 작성좀 해주세요.....ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

This is so cool and easy to remember now XD thanks

Clearly many things chemicals could never do without being directed by a Maker.

THANKS!!!

Was just about to skip this on my sub list. Then I saw the name Alex Dainis. :-)

no that would be Bradford, UK

We’re probably farther ahead not messing with this stuff

perfect!

cool video!

slice and dice

Not a lot of views:/ what's wrong with his world?!!?!!! Ashton kutchers video has more views than this informative, useful video. WHY?!!?! :'(

I like how she said volia

perfect

wow! amazing video

Plz explain this topic liteally

what's the difference of rna and dna?

wow just wow

Alexxxxx!

Hello TEDed. I love your videos. All your videos very interesting but in some case I try to understand without transcript as I'm not native speaker. Can I have this transcript from somewhere. Thanks.

nice

Very good:)

that brutally escalated quick.

This was awesomely violent.

Usually, TedEd does well at describing phenomena through metaphors, but here it was just distracting. Not as bad as the one about oil and water not mixing, but still.

😄 great job.

i may be wrong by the looks of the direction of this

You could have made the pieces of the double stranded RNA look alive like smaller living parts of it :P

Yay Alex! :)
