Molecular Visualization of DNA

Here is an amazing CGI visualization of DNA coiling, replication, transcription and translation in real time as is occurring every second in our bodies. For me the most fascinating aspect of watching this is the realization of how the production of DNA in our cells is so industrious. It’s like watching a souped miniature assembly line working non stop! Created by by Drew Berry of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.

    Is everything moving faster than usual? OR has public education failed me yet again?

    Pfff... Easy : I do that a zillion time everyday!

    More seriously : this has been one of the most amazing video I've ever seen.

    love it when the things usually only understood by specialists are made accessible to a wider pool of people...also great video work!

    This is extremely advanced alien technology. I think this video makes that very apparent.

    We had to watch this video in biology in grade 12. My least favourite part, but still extremely interesting.

    I love it! When we were learning this stuff in my molecular genetics class the whole process seemed to go so slowly, at least it did in my head, because so many things are happening at once and you had to learn each step of the process in order, one component at a time. This video puts all that activity into real time and it is AWESOME! :-O <--Insert science geek squee here
