@45:28 Just to clarify... At about 45 mins into the lecture you are introducing what a retrovirus is. In doing so, you state that polio, influenza, rhinovirus, and HIV are all retroviruses. While they all start off as RNA molecules, I believe HIV is the only one who undergoes reverse transcription into a DNA intermediate. The others synthesize complementary RNA strands with RNA dependent RNA Polymerase. Thanks so much for the lectures. I'm beginning my PhD in Molecular Medicine and Immunobiology this August so I thought I would kill some time learning some genetics that I missed out on in undergrad. Love your teaching style. You're a true inspiration!

You're correct... polio, influenza and rhinovirus are RNA viruses, but are NOT retroviruses. Hope you're rocking it in your PhD program!

thank you so much. can you do videos on Biotechnology too? like cloning ( postional, hybridization and complementation)? Thanks

Your videos are a life saver! I know you are following the textbook Genetics, A conceptual approach by Benjamin A.Pierce but I can't seem to find the rest of the chapters. Do you have a lecture on Chromosome structure & organelle Dna (Ch.11) or Transcription (Ch.13) and so on, that follows the material from the book?

In the generalized transduction, you mentioned that when the transducing phage accidentally packages bacterial DNA/genes into its shell, it doesn't realise it's own mistake and does what it is programmed to do, which is, of course, inject this DNA into another host cell. But how does it know what it is programmed to do when it no longer has the viral DNA that programs it to infect other host cells? In the sense, it doesn't have the genes that instruct it to infect other cells (viral genes), it only has the bacterial genes in its shell, so why does it even infect another cell?

Hey, love your videos they are very helpful. Do you have lecture videos for chapters 10-17. If so my classmates and I would be forever grateful. Thank again!!!

Thanks so much, Taylor. I really appreciate your (and your classmates!) kind words and support. I don’t have those chapters covered in this course. But on my CellMolec playlist I do cover that material. The figures and content are from a different text, but the concepts are all the same regardless of the textbook. I hope this helps a bit and good luck to you all!
