👁Playing with DNA that self-assembles
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Paul Rothemund writes code that causes DNA to arrange itself into a star, a smiley face and more. Sure, it's a stunt, but it's also a demonstration of self-assembly at the smallest of scales -- with vast implications for the future of making things.

👁How data is helping us unravel the mysteries of the brain
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Geneticist Steve McCarroll wants to make an atlas of all the cells in the human body so that we can understand in precise detail how specific genes work, especially in the brain. In this fascinating talk, he shares his team's progress -- including their invention of \"Drop-seq,\" a technology that allows scientists to analyze individual cells at a scale that was never before possible -- and describes how this research could lead to new ways of treating mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

👁 How CRISPR lets us edit our DNA
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Geneticist Jennifer Doudna co-invented a groundbreaking new technology for editing genes, called CRISPR-Cas9. The tool allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA strands, which could lead to treatments for genetic diseases ... but could also be used to create so-called \"designer babies.\" Doudna reviews how CRISPR-Cas9 works -- and asks the scientific community to pause and discuss the ethics of this new tool.

👁The biology of gender, from DNA to the brain
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣How exactly does gender work? It's not just about our chromosomes, says biologist Karissa Sanbonmatsu. In a visionary talk, she shares new discoveries from epigenetics, the emerging study of how DNA activity can permanently change based on social factors like trauma or diet. Learn how life experiences shape the way genes are expressed -- and what that means for our understanding of gender.

👁A map of the brain
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣How can we begin to understand the way the brain works? The same way we begin to understand a city: by making a map. In this visually stunning talk, Allan Jones shows how his team is mapping which genes are turned on in each tiny region, and how it all connects up.

👁How we're building the world's largest family tree
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Computational geneticist Yaniv Erlich helped build the world's largest family tree -- comprising 13 million people and going back more than 500 years. He shares fascinating patterns that emerged from the work -- about our love lives, our health, even decades-old criminal cases -- and shows how crowdsourced genealogy databases can shed light not only on the past but also on the future.

👁How we're using DNA tech to help farmers fight crop diseases
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Nearly 800 million people worldwide depend on cassava for survival -- but this critical food source is under attack by entirely preventable viruses, says computational biologist and TED Senior Fellow Laura Boykin. She takes us to the farms in East Africa where she's working with a diverse team of scientists to help farmers keep their crops healthy using a portable DNA lab and mini supercomputer that can identify viruses in hours, instead of months.

👁The weird history of the \"sex chromosomes\"
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣The common thinking on biological sex goes like this: females have two X chromosomes in their cells, while males have one X and one Y. In this myth-busting talk, science writer and podcaster Molly Webster shows why the so-called \"sex chromosomes\" are more complicated than this simple definition -- and reveals why we should think about them differently.\n

👁How we can detect pretty much anything
🧠Hélène Morlon ve Anna Papadopoulou
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Scientists have been staking out a forest in Montana for an animal that's notoriously tricky to find. Camera traps haven't offered definitive evidence, and experts can't identify its tracks with certainty. But within the past decades, researchers have developed methods that can detect even the most elusive species. So how does it work? Hélène Morlon & Anna Papadopoulou dig into DNA metabarcoding. [Directed by Blok Magnaye, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Cem Misirlioglu and Alex Chumak].

👁These salamanders snack on each other (but don't die)
🧠Luis Zambrano
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Axolotls are one of science's most studied animals. Why, you ask? These extraordinary salamanders are masters of regeneration: they can flawlessly regenerate body parts ranging from amputated limbs and crushed spines to parts of their eyes and brains. So, how do they do it? And what other secrets are they keeping? Luis Zambrano explores the baffling biology of the axolotl. [Directed by Lizete Upīte, narrated by Addison Anderson].

👁The genes you don't get from your parents (but can't live without)
🧠Devin Shuman
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Inside our cells, each of us has a second set of genes completely separate from our 23 pairs of chromosomes. And this isn't just true for humans— it's true of every animal, plant, and fungus on Earth. This second genome belongs to our mitochondria, an organelle inside our cells. So why are they so different from anything else in our bodies? Devin Shuman explores the purpose of mitochondrial DNA. [Directed by Luísa M H Copetti, Hype CG, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Gabriel Maia].

🧠Kayla Mandel Sheets
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣While searching for a kidney donor, Karen Keegan stumbled upon a mystery. After undergoing genetic testing, it turned out that some of her cells had a completely different set of genes from the others. And this second set of genes belonged to her twin sister— who had never been born. How did this happen? Kayla Mandel Sheets explores the condition known as chimerism. [Directed by Luísa M H Copetti, Hype CG, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Gabriel Maia].

🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣In June 2022, a gold miner in the Canadian Yukon made a remarkable discovery. While working on the traditional lands of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in First Nation, he uncovered the exceptionally well-preserved, frozen remains of a wooly mammoth calf that died 30,000 years ago. And this find isn't the only of its kind. Brendan Rogers and Jessica Howard uncover secrets buried in the Arctic permafrost.

👁Ethical dilemma: Should we get rid of mosquitoes?
🧠Talya Hackett
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

👣Mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths every year than any other animal, but very few of the 3,500 mosquito species actually transmit deadly diseases to humans. Scientists have been conducting experiments using engineered technologies called gene drives that could theoretically get rid of the most lethal mosquitoes. So, should we eradicate these pesky insects? Talya Hackett investigates. [Directed by Luísa M H Copetti, Hype CG, narrated by Bethany Cutmore-Scott, music by Gabriel Maia].

👁A mouse with two dads — and a new frontier for biology
🧠Katsuhiko Hayashi
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣You're familiar with the story: a sperm and an egg meet to create an embryo, which has the potential to give rise to new life. But what if you could create a sperm or egg from any cell, even a single skin cell? Biologist Katsuhiko Hayashi discusses the science of in vitro gametogenesis (IVG) — an experimental technique for creating lab-made sperm or eggs out of just about any type of cell — and explores its implications for endangered species, human reproduction and more.
