    This was great! Just thought I'd point out though that CpG islands refer to the fact that Cytosine is linked via a phosphodiester bond with Guanine along the same strand of DNA. It's not referring to the fact that Cytosine forms hydrogen bonds with Guanine across complementary strands (although this does happen). Other than that, keep up the good work :) These videos help me tons for my uni exams

      Thank you for clarifying it. It was always understandable, however, I realized how important it was to clarify it :D

    DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription.

    3:54 I think actually CpG islands are where cytosine is adjacent to guanine, not bound to guanine. When adjacent, they are separated by a phosphate group (hence the p in CpG); normally, CpG is more prone to mutation, so a region rich with CpG can be examined to see if it is highly conserved i.e. important not to mess with too much.

    This is an extremely helpful video. Watching this in 3rd year of university, THANK YOU!!

    Excellent video, just perfectly elucidated the concepts of Heterochromatin and Euchromatin for me thankyou!!

    CpG islands are long repeats of CG twomers. The fact that C pairs with G is irrelevant and the 'p' in 'CpG' stands for phosphodiester.

    0:01-0:12, 0:26-0:37, 0:57-3:59 (HAT: knot can't wrap up perfectly. HDAC: no knot; eu vs hibernating chromatin; acetylation vs methylation; methyltransferase, CpG islands), 4:35-5:18 (CpG halts transcription proteins and MBD).

    Thank you it was really helpful

    Just a little thing I noticed - CpG islands are not named that way because C base pairs with G, but because of the dinucleotide C - phosphodiester bond - G.

    Talking about DNA and not mentioning blood and blood types is like having a debate with Gorillas about DNA.

  • @ksharm02

    I don't believe that it's accurate that chromatin is supercoiled. Supercoiling happens when a replication bubble compresses the DNA on either side of the bubble.
