I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I hope to get back to normal soon, but will be posting videos during the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine to provide some education, while everyone is self isolating. This video I talk about fossil viruses. An interesting topic in these times. I discuss what are viruses are, how they may have originated on the planet, what makes them change over time, and do they have a fossil record?

This is like a nostalgic trip back in time. Where have the years gone? Thanks Professor Burger, I have seen your channel before, but it's only now that I am ready for it. Peace.

RNA is not an enzyme. Some RNAs have catalytic activity such as ribosomes and hammerhead-RNA. They are than called Ribozymes. Enzymes are per Definition Proteins and are thus Always Made Up of aminoacids and Not nucleotides Like RNA is. Just somes definitions Stuff. Great Video!

gfthn hgffhj thanks for the clarification! Yes you are right!

Thank you, I've been picking up fossils and interesting rocks for many years, so having a little framework to understand them is very satisfying.

That’s insane. I wonder how much silica veins that have been studied in geology could hold viruses in them.

I really learned something today

@scottmccrea1873 Год назад

One thing that's always struck me about viruses - *why don't cells have a mechanism to stop foreign DNA ("not-self") from running on their machinery?* To borrow the obvious computer reference, why is there no anti-virus DNA? Once a virus highjacks the cell, there's nothing that can be done but cell death (apoptosis). It seems to me, it would be far more efficient to stop the virus code from running in the first place. I don't think I've ever seen a scientist address this.

Does that mean more videos?

@BenjaminBurgerScience 4 года назад

yep! More coming soon!

If viruses replicate only within living cells, how could they have preceded cells?

@agmartin2127 8 месяцев назад

Thanks CCP... Please let us know when the next virus release is scheduled.

covid-19 is not single strand wrong

@RNAxRibose 3 года назад

How can covid 19 even have rna ? The virus is called sars cov2.. also its a ss+ rna( single strand, plus polarity means it can be directly translated to a protein on ribosomes - minus would be the case that a complementary strand of rna would be made which is then docking on to the ribosome )
