This animation explains how RNAi works and introduces the two main players: small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). We take you on an audio-visual journey, diving into a cell to show how genes are transcribed to make messenger RNA (mRNA) and how RNAi can silence specific mRNAs to stop them from making proteins. The animation is based on the latest research, to give you an up-to-date view. If you'd like to know more about the structures and processes you see in this video, check out the accompanying slideshow: http://www.nature.com/nrg/multimedia/rnai/animation/index.html]]> https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/4297/how-genes-are-regulated-transcription-factors Thu, 05 Sep 2013 16:54:19 -0500 https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/4297/how-genes-are-regulated-transcription-factors Each cell in our body inherits the same master copy of DNA, but different cell types use it differently. Transcription Factors help influence which genes are used in which cell. Understanding how these dynamic proteins physically interact with DNA allows us to better understand and model their binding to DNA and their regulation of gene expression.

The film describes the history of genetics, from Gregor Mendel, to concepts such as DNA and the genetic code. Having introduced the fundamental ideas of genetics, the film moves on to describe the current techniques used to study genetics. Finally, the film explores the connection of these core concepts to genomics and bioinformatics.]]> https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/3964/what-is-life-a-21st-century-perspective-by-dr-craig-venter Mon, 26 Aug 2013 17:09:17 -0500 https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/3964/what-is-life-a-21st-century-perspective-by-dr-craig-venter One of the landmark events of 20th century science was celebrated and reinterpreted for the 21st century in Trinity College Dublin on 12 July 2012 as part of the Science in the City programme of ESOF2012. Dr Craig Venter, one of the leaders of the Human Genome Project in the 1990s and a pioneer of synthetic biology delivered a lecture entitled, 'What is Life? A 21st century perspective' recreating the Irish event that inspired the discovery of the structure of DNA. In February, 1943 one of the most distinguished scientists of the 20th Century, Erwin Schrödinger, delivered a seminal lecture, entitled 'What is Life?', under the auspices of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, in Trinity College Dublin. The lecture presented far-sighted ideas on how hereditary information could be encoded in a chemical structure (aperiodic crystal) in living cells. Schrödinger's book (1944) of the same title is considered to be a scientific classic. The book was cited by Crick and Watson as one of the inspirations which ultimately led them to unravel the structure of DNA in 1953, a breakthrough which won them the Nobel prize.]]> https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/3963/spotlight-on-genomics-understanding-our-genes-a-step-to-personalized-medicine Mon, 26 Aug 2013 17:07:44 -0500 https://bioinformaticsonline.com/videolist/watch/3963/spotlight-on-genomics-understanding-our-genes-a-step-to-personalized-medicine (Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Learn about the essential role of genomics in the development of stem cell based therapies. Craig Venter, president and founder of the J. Craig Venter Institute and Catriona Jamieson, director for stem cell research at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, speak about the future of personalized medicine in which genomics, the study of genes and their function, is applied to pinpoint specific treatments for patients. Sandra Dillon, a clinical trial participant, gives a patient's perspective. [7/2013] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 24530]]]>
