This four-part animation series explores the biology of the virus SARS-CoV-2, which has caused a global pandemic of the disease COVID-19.

This video describes the case of a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a progressive disease that leads to blindness, and how physician-scientist Dr. Ed Stone approached the search for the causal mutation.

This film describes the scientific principles and the research efforts involved in the development of a gene therapy for a congenital form of blindness, and how a young patient benefited from this medical breakthrough.

This video describes how scientists silence different genes in regenerating planaria to study the process of regeneration at the molecular level.

This video describes the process by which a line of genetically modified mosquitoes was engineered to reduce populations of wild mosquitoes.

This video describes the technology of metabarcoding, which allows scientists to determine herbivore diets based on the sequences of plant DNA extracted from animal dung.

This video describes the cutting-edge method of DNA metabarcoding and how it is used to study how animals partition resources in a shared habitat.

This animation shows how transcription factors find their binding sites in real time. It is based on data from an imaging method that can track single molecules in a living cell.

This video shows a technique used to obtain detailed images of nerve cells by fluorescent microscopy.

This video explores how advances in DNA sequencing technology have improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.

This film tells the story of the scientists and the evidence involved in one of the most important scientific quests of the 20th century: the discovery of the structure of DNA.

This film explores how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.
