The way we grow and develop in the womb is controlled by our DNA. Small sections of DNA, called genes, carry the code telling the body how to build itself. Usually this works fine, but sometimes those genes carry mistakes in their code. These mistakes, known as mutations, may have no effect, they ma

All men who once emigrated from Africa have the same mutation on the Y chromosome. Over time, other mutations appeared that can still be detected today. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Tobias Schultes/Albrecht M. Wendlandt Redub: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/TerraX
This video excerpt from NOVA uncovers the genetic mystery that nearly killed Alexis, now 14, and introduces the debate surrounding genetic testing at birth. After diagnosing Alexis and her twin brother Noah with cerebral palsy at a young age, doctors later discovered that the twins shared a rare gen
The Y chromosome is always transferred directly from father to son, almost unchanged. If a mutation occurs, it is passed on to all subsequent generations. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Tobias Schultes/Albrecht M. Wendlandt Translation and Dubbing: alugha Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/Te
The coronavirus is an RNA virus. An RNA is chemically more susceptible than a DNA. Errors occur more frequently during copying, and the virus mutates. Our immune system reacts slowly to it, vaccine development is more difficult. Author: 3sat/nano/Docstation/Johan von Mirbach/Anna Grün/Riccardo Gies
This video excerpt from NOVA examines the dilemma some people face when they are deciding whether to undergo genetic testing. Journalist Catherine Elton describes her decision to refuse a test for BRCA1, a mutation that signals an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers, despite the history of
All viruses change over time. When a virus captures a host cell, it allows its genome to replicate, and new variants with small changes emerge. However, the English variant of Sars-Cov-2 has an unusually large number of mutations. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/WENDEVARGA/Christine Haak, Frank Siegwart, Albr
This video excerpt from NOVA examines a genetic screening technique called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD. PGD enables researchers to identify mutations in an embryo’s DNA that can lead to birth defects and more than 300 diseases, including Huntington’s, cystic fibrosis, and some cancers.
