hello everyone, a few months back a
Chinese scientists named  He Jiankui
had announced that he was successfully
edited the Genes of the twins named Lulu and
Nana so that they won't get affected by
HIV virus which causes AIDS it is a
major news because he used the CRISPR
gene editing for achieving this and
other thing is it can prevent AIDS a
deadly disease which is currently not
having any medicine to cure okay so
everyone was talking about it few months
back okay but this news is about a new
research which was saying that the
similar gene-editing can improve the brain
performance okay they did their research with
mice but they are saying that it can
impact the humans also that's what their
research is saying, so according to their
research we can understand that brain
performance of the girls Lulu and Nana
might have improved because of the gene
editing done by that Chinese scientist
okay it's a very important thing one
thing is currently almost all the
countries are restricting this kind of
research so it is illegal in almost all
the countries including China that's why
the Chinese government put him under
house-arrest once after he made this
announcement publicly okay
even his university fired him and he's
doing the research independently with
his own lab with the help of people who
are volunteering to him okay so
basically this kind of research is
getting done without government support
or any public support that what's the
understanding but we can understand the
consequences of these things, say for
example if this kind of stuff can
improve
brain performance say for example if
someone from China is doing this maybe
in near future the Chinese government
can adopt the techniques so that they
can create a lot of Designer babies
with more powerful brain and  more
athletic performance or economic kind of
knowledge so it can over all it can help
the country to dominate in the world, the
other countries will also think about it
and they will also try to compete with
more power so they will also encourage
this kind of research in their own
countries ok so this will make this kind
of research legal in near future even
though they are illegal right now there
is a huge possibility that most of the
countries will make it as legal it's ok
it is a very very major thing because if
these kinds of researches are going in this
direction definitely it will create lot
of negative things even the creator of
the CRISPR is discouraging or even asking
to prevent this kind of research ok this
is one thing another thing is we can see
this as a powerful example for showcasing
the power of CRISPR gene editing so if
the CRISPR gene editing is getting used
in the positive sense means it
definitely it will be very useful for
eradicating or removing lot of diseases
easily and we can improve the overall
human health very easily that's what the
basic thing about CRISPR if you are
interested you can just search this
channel and you can learn a lot of
updates about CRISPR gene editing ok
actually gene-editing is a very old
thing a lot of scientists are using it
but the thing is we need
specific  infrastructure and
we need skillful people for doing that
but the specific thing about CRISPR gene
editing is it will make the process very
simple and any almost anyone can easily
edit the gene that's the power of CRISPR
gene-editing, it's something like
editing the word document, in future
people are going to edit their genes
that's what the fundamental of CRISPR
gene editing,  one news,  I'm referring
all my previous news videos, saying that
scientists unveiled CRISPR-based
diagnostic platform okay so CRISPR is
part of diagnostic thing and another
thing is some people tested CRISPR gene
editing to cure cancer okay so basically
it is going to help eradicate cancer
okay
and another research is saying that
CRISPR helps to alleviate depression and
another one is saying that successfully
lowers the cholesterol in mice so
basically it is useful for diagnostic
purposes and it is useful to cure cancer
and to reduce depression and to lower
the cholesterol okay even some
scientists are creating low fat pigs
okay using CRISPR /CAS 9, so basically we
can create the animals based on our own
demands okay and it is useful for
repairing the faulty genes okay that
because of all these growth, the
statistics is saying that that global
CRISPR Cas9  market will cross 1.5
billion US dollars by 2022 a lot of
inventions and marketing other companies
are going to grow based on the CRISPR
gene-editing, okay
even it is useful for restoring the vision
in blind animals,  apart from curing the
diseases, one, scientist is doing a
research related to storing data into
DNA of bacteria using CRISPR, according
to this research we can store a movie
into the DNA of bacteria okay, the
main purpose is not for storing the data
like movies but it can be used for a lot
of new researches which can improve our
brain activities okay with the help of
CRISPR
