  • On its own, a huge DNA sequence is a meaningless pile of data - so, how do biologists figure out what it means? They turn to the power of bioinformatics! In this episode, we’ll learn what bioinformatics is, how it works, and how scientists have used it to better understand everything from evolution to a viral epidemic.

    I love the topic selection for this series, and our friendly neighborhood entomologist is an S-tier science communicator.

    I’m so excited because the programming side of bioinformatics is literally what I went to school for!! Watching a video about what I’m doing now on a channel I’ve been obsessed with since high school is making me giddy 😁

    As a bionformatician working in genetics + cancer research, I must admit I haven't watched any of this series (since most of the topics covered are things I'm already very familiar with). But when I saw my specialty covered I just HAD to watch it. And I must say, the host for this series is fantastic! Such an amazing communicator, despite knowing pretty much all of what was said already I was fully engaged throughout.
    Obviously bioinformatics is a very broad subject, but if anyone has any question, mainly about the genetics and genetic analysis side of bioinformatics (since that is my field) I'd love to try and answer them below!

    I am a data scientist working in the field of Rheumatology. My 10 year old daughter has been asking what I do for work, and I have had a very difficult time explaining what that is at an age-appropriate level. Thank you for boiling down such a broad field into something so understandable! I'm looking forward to showing her this video which captures the simplified yet robust terms that have eluded me up to this point.

    Yay, this is what I got my Master's in (bioinformatics, specifically plant virology and phylogenetic analysis)!

    I love that community science has been such an easily accessible thing for me to do in my lifetime.

    I'm currently studying a PhD and it involves analysing health data to find risk factors for childhood obesity/overweight in order to help public health officials fight the obesity/overweight epidemic.

      Hope it includes information about processed foods and dietary habits.

    • @Caterfree10
      @Caterfree10 Před 16 dny

      Hope it includes how shaming whole body types doesn’t help people lose weight and is more likely to cause eating disorders, depression, and suicidal thoughts. And how discrimination against fat people in medical settings frequently leads to late diagnosis and death.

    When your crash course video is called 'Algorithms arent just for tiktok'... Should be 'titles are for algorithms'

    My wife and I had a Zika infection in 2015 and lemme tell ya we were nonfunctional for a week. It's not deadly but it's not mild either.

    Was thinking to go for bioinformatics to help save the native population can that be done at this point?

    No child should be eating pizza for lunch

    • @TSwiftie13-eh2ul

      No they should be eating pizza bagels…

    • @DeathlyTired
      @DeathlyTired Před 29 dny +4

      True. They should be have their pizza at breakfast; like civilised people.

    • @Betweoxwitegan
      @Betweoxwitegan Před 29 dny

      In The US they do due to extensive lobbying from pizza companies like dominos. They argued that a pizza is technically healthy by their standards because it has tomatoes on it in the form of sauce, I believe.
