  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Nova - "Ghost in Your Genes"

submitted by my15minutes

1 decade 5 years 8 months 1 week ago

mapping the human genome was just the beginning.
epigenetics studies the switches that turn selective genes on and off.

a process heavily affected by your behavior, and environment, and passes its effects to offspring, just as the genes are.

I like to think of every thing as a polymorphic program.

Think of cancer as a wild virus, running rampant in your network. It can't be completely wiped out with an anti virus.

Immunizing other parts of the network, and finding the EXE that is running the virus. Its a hard fight, but it can be done, but bare in mind that the network will never completely be saved.

The same ideas can be applied to cancer and diseases. But that does not make it easier.

Not sure if it matters, but this is a dupe of a discard (back when videos got discarded if they didn't get enough votes) http://www.videosift.com/video/Nova-The-Ghost-in-Your-Genes

^ wow! how did that not show up on the 'possible dupes' screen?

and yes, it definitely matters. to me, anyway.

99% of the time i run an advanced search before posting. only reason i didn't this time, was i thought this was a new episode. it was actually on the air here in NY, and i dug it, and tossed it up without realizing it was a rerun.

your google embed is non-operative on my end. is it still working for you?
even if it is, you may wanna' shnag my embed, as having it chopped up into 6 chunks, in the playlist i threw together last night, will allow it to load easier on slower connections.

switch embeds, and i'll kill mine and promote yours. k?
