How to read the genome and build a human being | Riccardo Sabatini 

How is this NOT the #1 Ted talk? Breathtaking in the subject matter, expertly delivered and perfectly relevant to everyone

Now THAT was a proper TED talk. Thanks!

He acknowledged Rosalind Franklin and not the other 2 guys - it's long due.

Ah finally a well spoken TED talk. This is how it looks, sounds and feels like when someone has no stage fear whatsoever and is completely immersed inside the topic. And what a topic it is! All I want is to hear more..

What a well-explained video! It reminds me what an ancient book of wisdom accurately states: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; all its parts were written in your book regarding the days when they were formed, before any of them existed.”-Psalm 139:16.

What did the librarian say to the student? *Read more*

Hahaha his Italian accent and what he's explain are both brilliant

This was very fascinating and especially the way he presented all the information. One of the best ted talks.

Brilliant presentation.

THIS are the TEDs a signed up for. Awesome, thanks for sharing

There've been so many amazing talks lately and this one is so thought provoking, especially what he says at the end. So balanced and farseeing.

Truely inspiring. Every time I come across a talk like this it gives me chills because it's like geting to the future not in a dream but reality. The things that used to be fiction are now becoming ordinary. I love living nowadays.

A grand salute for the passion the speaker holds.

this is the best talk I have ever watched. I was completely absorbed I forgot all surrounding noises for 16 mins.

I don't know why but this talk gave me goosebumps . Loved it !

AMAZING TED TALK- both presentation and content

I have watched it several times and still and still mind blowing.

Thank you so much - what a revelation of information about human body which we have taken for granted and this gives me the incredible sensation of how complex our human body building exercise is all about yet simple.

Excellent ted talk!! Riccardo is a brillant communicator!!

What an amazing speaker.

I can't explain how mind boggling this this. We only discovered the human genome in a matter of decades ago so imagine being able to properly read it and properly manipulate it. Give it a few hundred years and we'll be able to control absolutely everything to do with the human body; from reversing diseases to *maybe* even stopping death.

Simplesmente fantástico está palestra!!!!

Fantastic talk.

One of the best speech I heard in my life.

wow this is amazing and he presented it so well

Really Interesting talk, very well presented too

Extraordinary work

wow! to think that we are able to do this and still call it scratching the surface..what will we be able to achieve when we understand it completely. Exciting! Great work and beautifully presented!

Thank you so much!

Amazing talk!

Good point about personalized medicine. Will be interesting to see if/ when it translates into that field.

The most meaningful TED talk 🙂👏👏👏

A Masterpiece. Period

Excellent presentation. The use of that book collection provides a down to earth appreciation of the complexity of the subject. I wonder if this facial prediction method would work on children?

TED is wonderful when it isn't acting as a social justice and/or feminist platform for factless or out of context BS. This is definitely a talk that's high up on the list of favorites.

This video should become the most watched video on RU-vid. 👏🏼👏🏼

fascinating

This excites me so much, I so badly want to learn about machine learning !!

Great talk, Mr. Mario.

this means everything to everything we can think or dream of

Una exposición asombrosa

As an outsider, I am trying to understand the significance of genomics for mankind today. This is an amazing resource to motivate the topic.

This is one of the most interesting TED talks and it has only 290K views?? That’s sad

Very well done develop work.

This is the only TED Talk that didn't put me to sleep

What an era to be alive in!

This seems fascinating to me !

Mind boggling...love it :o

that's majestic

probably the best ever...

Most remarkable thing is people are able to find the structure of dna. It is not easy. Millions of combinations of a,c,t,g. It is mind-blowing.

Amazing

Loved it

Wow ! it's awesome!

Excellent

Great!

wow !!! that face modelling based on your genome was mind blowing. Judge dredd is a reality

God is an awesome creator to have created us all so unique, while using such similar coding.

if there's anyone who ever think that this won't go wrong, you seriously need to think again

Psalm 139:13-16 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Amazing, I was expecting to be disappointed with such a title.

it's a shame that only the most ignorant people in our human race leave comments and people that are actually making a difference are working so hard they don't have enough time to chime in it's embarrassing thank you for moving Humanity forward

Awesome

brilliant

I wanna see a prediction of Steve Hawkings to see how would he look if he didn't have ALS.

Loveee it.

Actually I did a 14 month gig helping to package sequences genomic data. A full gene scan takes about 1 Terabyte of storage. Exomes take significantly less.

"think about that again when we think that we are different THIS IS THE AMOUNTTHAT WE SHARE "

Nice

what a lecture

Amassing 👌👌

this video is going to blow up in about 5 years when the news pick up the new trend

A tiny window to peep inside, to see outside here and now, and what may be over our horizon.

Anyone else wondering about practical applications for this device? Like possibly creating photo profiles based on crime scene evidence? No, it's not an exact match, but it could give general descriptions, particularly when there are no witnesses or witness stories don't match.

Neat.

Gattaca?

Current update please! It must have been upgraded enormously by now (after 6 years).

DOES HE REALISE THIS TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED FOR CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION??!!

It's amazing to see the the genome in a printed state. It's truly mind boggling to see the massive amount of pages needed to print this out in an exact specific order . And to think that this is accurately multiplied over 3,000,000,000,000 times in every cell in a human body. And how a small mutation of the omission of just 2 letters can cause serious illness. It's also amazing that a specific group or groups of these letters can be read and reproduced to create the billions of specific cells that makeup all life , Whats even more fascinating is that there's plants , insects and other animals that have 50 times larger genomes then humans with the same very specific order that's required in the human genome. It's truly amazing that evolution was capable of testing the quadrillions of quadrillions of wrong combinations to come up with just one right one and do this trillions of individual times,

Tον αυγουστο του 2019 και ενω βρισκομουν εκτος διαδικτυακης χρησης μερικους μηνες,μιας και ειχα διακοψει την συνδεση,στο σπιτι που κατοικω μεχρι σημερα.Ομαδα ερευνητων αποτελουμενη απο γυναικες,σε συνδυασμο με ομαδα αντρων που παρισταναν του κουτσους,και σχηματιζαν γκριματσες στο προσωπο τους καθε φορα που εμφανιζοταν μπροστα μου,αρχισαν να με παρενοχλουν καθημερινα στις κοινωνικες μου συναναστροφες,ειτε βρισκουμαν για λογους ψυχαγωγιας ειτε για λογους οικονομικων και εμπορικων συνναλαγων.Πολυ γρηγορα καταλαβα οτι σχετιζοντουσαν με τα minds control programmes του artificial inelligence.Oι λογοι που με οδηγησαν στο παραπανω συμπερασμα ηταν οτι χρησιμοποιουσαν λογια που αφορουσαν τις προσωπικες μου μυστικες σκεψεις,και αναφεροντουσαν σε προσωπικες μου μνημες απο την παιδικη μου ηλικια μεχρι τη ηλικια των 49 του σημερα.Καταλαβα συχρονως οτι βρισκομουν και σε παρακολουθηση απο την αστυνομια,και τις μυστικες υπηρεσιες,ετσι πριν ακομα ξανασυνδεθω με τον διαδυκτιακο τοπο στη κατοικια μου,κατι που εγινε τον γεναρη του 2020,με συνδεση μου στην cosmote,αρχισα να αναλυω με εναν προσωπικο μονολογο,φωναχτα μιας και ηξερα οτι κατεγραφε η αστυνομια οτι ελεγα στην κατοικια μου,την σχεση της ομαδας των ερευνητριων με τα mind control programmes ,και την αναμειξη των ερευνητικων ομαδων στις πολιτικες διαδικασιες στις αναρχικες και κουμουνιστικες ομαδες,σε συνδυασμο με τη χρηση προηγμενης τεχνολογιας.Αυτο οδηγησε τις ιδιες τις ερευνητικες ομαδςς σε ενα μπαραζ αποκαλυψεων μπροστα στα ματια μου,μιας η μια ερευνητικη ομαδα ξεσκεπαζε την αλλη εμφανιζοντας μπροστα μου σχεδον ολους τους πολιτικους αρχηγους των πολιτικων κομματων της ελλαδος.Με την ακολουθη σειρα εμφανιστηκαν μπροστα μου ο κυριος μιχαλολιακος την ιδια ημερα με τον κυριο τσιπρα,στη συνεχαια εμφανιστηκε η κυρια παπαρηγα,και στη συνεχεια ο κυριος βαρουφακης.Αυτωματος συνειδητοποιησα οτι τα mind control programmes του artificial intelligence διαχειριζονται απο τις ερευνητικες ομαδες που συνδεονται μεσω του Ο.Η.Ε με τις ερευνητικες ομαδες των ηγεσιων των πολιτικων κομματων της ελλαδος,και συχρονως δραστηριοποιουνται και στις αναρχικες πολιτικες διαδικασιες παντα με τη χρηση προηγμενης τεχνολογιας,του ελεγχου σκεψης,και αλλων προηγμενων μεθοδων που χρησιμοποιουνται ανορθοδοξα και με επικυνδυνες μεθοδους απεναντι στην ασφαλεια καθε ανυποψιαστου πολιτη,και συμμετεχοντα στις πολιτικες διαδικασιεςΜιας και η συνεργασια των ερευνητικων ομαδων επεκτεινεται και στους κατασκοπικους και πρακτορικους κυκλους της ελληνικης πολιτικης κοινωνικης συνθεσης.Οι παραπανω αποκαλυψεις απο μερους μου γινανε μεσα απο την κατοικια μου χρησιμοποιωντας την ιδια την παρακολουθηση της αστυνομιας σαν μαρτυρα της βασανιστικης καθημερινοτητας που ζουσα.Επακολουθα οι ερευνητικες και κατασκοπικες μοναδες τις ελληνικης κοινωνιας εξαγριωθηκαν με αποτελεσμα να δεχθω εκατονταδες απειλες απο τους πιο σκληρους ελληνες,στον δρομο,μιας με τη χρηση της πρηγμενης τεχνολογιας,οι κατασκοποι και οι ερευνητριες με παρουσιαζαν να απειλω και να εξυβριζω,πρακτορες,αστυνομικους,παρανομους και αλλους σκληροτραχιλους ανθρωπους του στρατου και της αστυνομιας που εργαζονταν για τον ελληνικο εθνικο διοικητικο κορμο στο συνολο του.Εχω γλυτωσει τη ζωη μου ως εκ θαυματος και παρακαλω για τη βοηθεια σας...

Does anyone know where could I get a handle of the books in digital? It would be very interesting to investigate them

A lot to think about here.

I am supposed to study for my test tommorow!

That is a feat.

This is insane

this dude is so funny :D also interesting talk!

a longer useful life span is paramount in the quest for a better world. With age comes wisdom.

He's just great , how effortlessly he taught us everything ✨✨✨

i got shivers from this talk. i know people will try to play god and they will suffer harsh consequences from it mark my words.

The topic is amazing, he sound a bit like the "renzi" but I think that renzi can't think like him. He can't pronounce gn like in England but I would thank him for showing to the world the problems and how they started solve some of them. 4 sure politicians can't solve certain problems...

Where's the publication for this?

watching this in 0.5 speed is absolutely worth your time lol

Someone needs to show this to Edward and Alphonse

and all that came from a random explosion ??

reading the wisdom in the comments everyone thinks To have eventhough they know nothing about genetics is so stressfull

очень классное произношение, даже не смотря на то что я вообще не очень в английском половина слов мне поняты

I think it's funny that he points out the result of missing two letters in the whole code is cystic fibrosis, then proceeds to downplay differentiation by pointing out the half-book we don't share. Obviously small alterations lead to big differences. Otherwise, very enlightening.

What about in forensics? Surely this could be used find out what criminals look like?

iteresting...

Has anyone found the paper or have they not published yet?
