This is an animation of a genetic engineering project by a ninth grader in an honors biology project. The project was funded by Jogn Galt as part of the Atlas Foundation.

Oh noes! Staph and E. coli Bt superbugs! Producing protien crystals that dont effect humans! That must be why we are being eaten alive by Bacillus thuringiensis!
@Louise1401
Actually, usually plasmids are cut in two places, using two restriction enzymes, and so a small section is usually cut out. I ‘lose’ about 10-50bp from a non-coding region of pJK11 when I digest it in preperation for ligation, depending on which enzymes I’m using.
@fe4rlesss
We use enzymes produced naturally by living things. These enzyme only cut DNA where it forms a particular pattern. e.g. HindIII cuts the code AAGCTT.
The girl actually skips over many steps in the process (Primer design, PCR, gel electrophoesis, plasmid ligation etc). You would actually extract the DNA from human cells and perform most steps in vitro; the digestion/cutting would happen in a test tube (well, I use a microcentrifuge tube).
@WolYou
Monsanto doesnt produce insulin. The transgenic E. coli that produce insulin were first made by Genentech.
@wildboy789789
You may have meant it in jest, but just to make sure…
You do know the process she goes through on the video is how insulin is actually produced now?
Thankyou soooooo much all the way from London
I can actually do my homework on genetic engineering now
thanks again
great simple explanation
@BioBoosterSoldier I just watched Food Inc. and was sickened by their practice of ruining farmers with their law suits… Either way you cut it, they’re just being d- heads.
This ninth grader just taught me, a 20 year old, a lot more than my college professor ever did. Nice.
Great video, simple and straight forward, very helpful. Makes the whole process a lot easier to understand.
who said they? im gonna keep the cure to myself
@wildboy789789 They will never give people a cure for Ageing as it will cause overpopulation and they will never give things like this as it does not benefit them much unless you are some megastar or some high powered elite or something.
thats so fucken hawt! i really wanna fuck those cells.
i see, no offence
that makes no sense. A bible basher is just a term for religious types where i come from lol i dont believe in any god
Actually it’s rather religious people that fear reality and science and such and bashes genetic engineering. So your comment’s quite fail. Religion was men for the middle age, and i don’t care what god you believe in, it’s imagination. I’m against religion and for science, now get off your fat ass and get some insulin, your imagination wont make things happen.
Thank you so much!! This video really helps me with my biology homework!!
thank you very much
@islandwarrior16 Correct except you need to replace “German” with “American” haha
Great video! Yes people out there who think that she has made this up, this is how they Make insulin for diabetics. So yes we are already using genetically modified organisms. If this this was at my school I’d give her a A++++
Genetic engineering is man’s way of correcting God’s hideous mistakes, like German people.
a 9th grader just found the cure for diabetes?
i hope she can make a video of how to repair chromosomes to cure ageing 🙂
Good job!
you forgot you need to get more insilin after 1 year or so 🙂
Genetic Modification should be allowed, and if any god-fearing, bible-bashing types are offended by this, then they can take it up with the big man when the diabetes kills them. 😀
