I was a little bit scared to watch this video because I'm from Germany and I don't understand biology in German so I thought how am I gonna understand it in English, but this was a really great explanation and I got nearly everything, so thank you for that! :-)
You are such a good teacher!!!! I have at least two classes psych and bio and they both have your videos required for assignments, but you explain everything so perfectly. Thank you
Hi Mr. Andersen! It´s great that you shared all your knowledge about "biology", we are colllagues, I handle many topics as you do, the basic reason why I am here it is because I am improving my English, an specif English, I must say, you are brilliant and you reminds me to a friend from my days as an undergraduate. Also, I am refreshing some topics! Now I work as an elementary teacher. I miss sometimes teach at high school! I will continue watching your interesting videos lessons. All the best! Greetings from Venezuela.
OMG... hahaha "... who looks like they are capable of murder." "... in which your insurance company would love to get a hold of." Been watching your videos for a LONG time now and that was the first time I ever heard you pull out humor like that.
I really like you because this is the first time in years that someone has taught something in a simple, fun way. I haven't been taught like this since I was a kid. You see professors overcomplicate things all the time just because you're in an advanced course. Goes to show no concept is too hard to be taught simply. Some people are just better teachers, I suppose.
I know that the video was posted eight years ago, but I just want to thank you because i wasn't understanding the concept of STR until I watch your video. PS: I'm brazilain, so I'm sorry for the english gramatical errros :v
Thanks a lot for this lovely video. I don't have words to explain how much easy it became for me to understand. Today is my final exam of Forensic Science and somehow I was not able to understand STR correctly. Thank you thank you thank you. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Really best video to understand what is DNA fingerprinting If you already know the process of extraction of DNA then Electrophoresis and detection of DNA then it is easiest to understand
I really appreciate your struggle . You deserve something mindblowing.I am from Pakistan , I understand you lectures as of my own teachers. Would that I could download your mind also!
hello i have a question. at @3.11 why are there two different colours of the VNTR. Does it mean that each non coding region has different repeated sequence? Sorry if my concept is not right i just started learning about this bio class :-( thank you
Capillary electrophoresis is more commonly used now instead of gels. Also, statistics are needed to put weight to the profile to show how likely it is that someone else has that same profile.
can you be my BIO teacher instead? I was really lost in class but now I totally understand the whole subject now!!! thank you a million times!!! (:(:(:
It is veeeeeeery helfpfull.. do u have another vedio comparing mr. Blond's DNA with his kids or relatives? That would be perfect help. Thank u very much.
I like the video it is colorful and easy for my students to understand. However, the only confusing part is it is focusing on STR (short tandem repeats) which are only 2-5 base pairs long not like these you are representing in the diagram. Those would be VNTR (variable number tandem repeats) which are between 9-80bp long.
The video is good. The thirteen different sections require thirteen pairs of primers for the PCR? You say "they are cut out first, then amplified". This implies thirteen pairs of restriction enzymes. Am I on the right track?
hi can someone explain to me how do we precisely excise out all the tandem repeats? I know you use a probe to attach to the start of the tandem repeat and then you PCR it but the thing is wont the probe have a multitude of sites to bind to- as they are tandem repeats"
