TED: Gene editing can now change an entire species -- forever | Jennifer Kahn
CRISPR gene drives allow scientists to change sequences of DNA and guarantee that the resulting edited genetic trait is inherited by future generations, opening up the possibility of altering entire species forever. More than anything,...

Advanced Genetics
Paul Andersen explains important concepts that can not be explained by simple Mendelian genetics. He begins with a discussion of polygenic inheritance and uses a simulation on height to show how a bell shape curve of phenotypes is...

Probability in Genetics: Multiplication and Addition Rules
Paul Andersen shows you how to use the rules of multiplication and addition to correctly solve genetics problems. The rule of multiplication can be applied to independent events in sequence. The rule of addition can be applied to...

Genetics - Lost and Found: Crash Course History of Science
Sometimes trail blazers of science aren't famous like Darwin or Pasteur. Sometimes they're humble Abbots, just growing peas in the back of their Abbey. This is the story of Gregor Mendel and how his work was done, lost, then found again.

Chromosomal Genetics
Paul Andersen explains aspects of genetics that were not covered by Gregor Mendel. He begins with the following topics; incomplete dominance, codominance, epistasis, multiple alleles, and multiple genes. He then explains how linked genes...

Linked Genes
Paul Andersen explains how linked genes behave and how linked genes were discovered. He shows how linked genes would be reflected in a dihybrid cross using a fruit fly simulator. He uses chromosome-based punnett squares to explain why...

Can you inherit bipolar disorder or depression?
The genetics with most illnesses do not follow Mendelian genetics. Mendelian genetics is what you learned in science class where you could predict a certain trait based on what traits your parents have. Bipolar disorder and depression...

Genetics - Lost and Found: Crash Course History of Science #25
Gregor Mendel, known as the father of genetics, never knew genetics existed and, in fact, died thinking no one would recognize his scientific discoveries. Other genetics scientists, such as Barbara McClintock, performed work so far ahead...
