Chapter 1261 Biocloning

This is completely different from the traditional practice of cultivating organisms and reproducing offspring in the past. It is very similar to the engineering design of technology and science. According to human needs, the "gene" of this organism and the "gene" of that organism are re-constructed and "assembled" into new gene combinations to create new organisms.

This biotechnology has two major benefits for today's large enterprises and government organizations.

First, it can consume a lot of funds and balance the ever-increasing virtual economy, put the digital books in a controllable range, and also create a large number of jobs and strengthen its own reputation and power.

Second, this technology is popular and can fully control patented technology in the hands of developers, which is conducive to consolidating its own development. Compared to advocating humans to actively develop their own potential, this model is more convenient for superstructure to control most people.

Kuishui Club took over many biological enterprises that originally belonged to the underground palace, using this cutting-edge technology to study excellent genes, and hoped to strengthen humans.

If all the excellent genes that humans need to clone can be refrigerated in the gene library, then the source of the genes during gene therapy will be no problem.

The so-called cloned gene is to extract all or part of the genes of the organism in advance to study the genes of a certain organism and load the gene on the plasmid.

Since the plasmid can replicate itself, the genes loaded on the plasmid are also amplified, which means cloning, that is, asexual reproduction.

According to media reports, by 0 years, more than 200 human genes have been analyzed and cloned. In this space and time, the Huaxia Federation adopts a unified management model to strengthen the development of science and technology, but the investment in this area is not available to other countries in the world.

By 5 years, it has reached more than 800. Since the successful assembly of animals, people with rich imagination and endless imagination can't help but boldly imagine that since the fertilized eggs of rats and rats can be chimeric, and the fertilized eggs of sheep and goats can be chimeric.

Moreover, the assemblies after chimeric have the hereditary traits of each assembly material. Then, what a surprising miracle would happen if humans and human fertilized eggs are chimeric, or even some animal fertilized eggs are chimeric.

Even in the current Chinese Federation, some people are boldly speculating that in the near future, eight new races will appear on the earth, and the earliest ones will be the fishman, etman and zt man.

Fishman has gills and lungs, can live amphibiously, has webbed feet, and a sonar system similar to dolphins. This is a new race to adapt to underwater operations.

et man specializes in space. This kind of man has 4 arms, one of which replaces his feet to support his body in a state of weightlessness. zt man is the super birthday star on earth.

Can the "chimeng" they imagined become a reality? If successful, can humans accept such "chimeng"?

Perhaps in the near future, a group of new humans with bull-headed and horse-faced faces will be wandering around us. What kind of scenario will it be?

Even cancer and AIDS, which are now terrifying, are no longer an incurable disease that plagues human health.

These are the core plans of human life project, and the purpose is to make human beings stronger and more adapt to future needs. However, for the ruling class, this change must be beneficial to them, otherwise they would rather become "reactionaries".

As time goes by, different interests are entangled together. People with different dreams and wishes collide with each other's justice, which leads to disputes.

From the standpoint of the Chinese federal circle of forces, what they need is stability in the current situation and maintain their own leadership advantages. The ancient Chinese Society founded by Zhong Yang hopes that the entire human society will continue to move forward under the leadership of Chinese civilization.

So much so that the conflict finally came unstoppable.

The attack on the Kuishui Club means that the rift between each other is expanding. Even the radical Chinese army represented by the Human Reform Society actually achieved their goals by using the force of foreign forces.

Hongli Academy, the cold winter is about to pass, but the cold temperature has reached its peak.

"Hey, Feiyi, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's visit the National Institute of Biology?"

On Friday afternoon, at a regular teacher meeting, Chang Shirui, who had no class, found Zhang Yueqiu and wanted to invite him to attend tomorrow's visit.

Because of their recent reunion, the relationship between the two has become better and better. Lian Feiyi and Zhao Huixin have become much distant, but they have not yet broken up completely and are in a state of being close and separated.

"Okay!" Lian Feiyi thought for a while and agreed, "Anyway, I'll have time tomorrow afternoon."

"So, see you then!" Chang Shirui was also very happy to see Lian Feiyi agree.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow!"

Life science is a science that systematically explains major issues related to the characteristics of life. The laws of physics and chemistry that dominate the inanimate world also apply to the life world without giving life matter a mysterious vitality.

A deep understanding of life sciences can undoubtedly promote the development of other human knowledge areas such as physics and chemistry.

For example, a century-long problem in life sciences is "where intelligence comes from."

Today's humans know the activities of a single neuron, but they don't know anything about how hundreds of billions of neurons can produce intelligence after they combine into the brain. It can be said that the biggest challenge to human intelligence is how to explain intelligence itself.

The gradual and in-depth solution to this problem will also change the human knowledge structure accordingly.

Life science research not only relies on physics and chemistry knowledge, but also on the instruments provided by the latter, such as optical and electron microscopes, protein electrophoresis instruments, ultracentrifuges, x-ray meters, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, positron emission tomography scanners, etc., which are numerous to mention.

Life scientists are also gathered from various disciplines. The cross-penetration between disciplines has created many prospects of growth points and emerging disciplines with unlimited prospects.

Lian Feiyi itself does not reject this new knowledge. After all, it involves the study of life phenomena, and it is also a way to facilitate humans to understand their own potential and mysteries.

The human material body is produced from one cell, that is, from one fertilized egg.

Half of human DNA comes from the father and the other half comes from the mother. The egg and ** each contain half of the chromosomes and DNA, and they form a whole.

How a fertilized egg becomes a person is a wonderful thing. A cell divides into 2, 2 becomes 4... Some of the cells develop into the brain, and some become hands and feet...

Therefore, human life develops, grows, aging and dies in a certain chronological order and spatial location. Behind this is the mysterious gene that is controlled.

At a certain time, a gene is activated by the genetic code, and the person begins to grow hands or other organs. At a certain time, this gene will be "closed" and will not grow any longer.

If some genes have problems, they will get sick. For example, Alzheimer's disease is caused by some genes being damaged and activated.

The inherited gene is hidden in the DNA, which can replicate and organize itself. Its double helix is ​​paired with molecules according to strict rules. During replication, the double helix must be unrotated first, and a new helix can be formed according to the same rules as the surrounding molecules.

In this way, one DNA molecule will become two.

The genetic information in DNA can be assembled in certain ways and processes to assemble proteins and other useful components in the body, and cell division occurs, which includes many complex processes.

The characteristics of life phenomena can not only be replicated and continuously grown, but also be self-organized.

There is a "biological clock" in the human body, and the development, aging and death of human cells are also controlled by genes.

Scientists are studying the mechanism by which genes control life, old age, sickness and death, and try to reverse some of these processes, or after these organs are damaged, some genes are activated to allow them to grow new organs.

In certain fields of biology, many dreams of human beings to improve themselves are entrusted.

Take the treatment of diabetes as an example. The cause of this disease is that the pancreatic islet cells cannot secrete insulin, which makes the patient's blood sugar too high. The mortality rate of diabetic patients is second only to cancer and heart disease. About 60 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes.

Insulin can reduce the blood sugar content in the human body. Since 1921 to now, insulin has been used in medicine to treat diabetes. However, the source of insulin is very difficult. In the past, it mainly relies on extracting from the pancreas of cattle, pigs and other livestock.

The pancreas of a cow or pig can only produce 300 units or 30 ml of insulin, while a patient needs 40 units or 4 ml of insulin every day. Obviously, the insulin production is far from meeting the needs of the patient.

The advent of genetic engineering technology provides a new way to solve this problem. The human insulin gene is a DNA molecule with a specific structure that directs the synthesis of insulin.

Scientists sent the human insulin gene to E. coli cells, so that the insulin gene and E. coli genetic material are combined. The human insulin gene directs the E. coli cells to produce human insulin.

Because this human insulin gene combines with the genetic material of E. coli, it becomes part of the genetic material of E. coli, so as it reproduces, this insulin gene has been passed down from generation to generation, and the offspring of this E. coli can also produce insulin.

This bacteria with new genetic traits given artificially are called genetically engineered bacteria.

Put such genetically engineered bacteria in large fermentation tanks, provide them with appropriate conditions and nutrients, and artificially cultivate and reproduce in large quantities, and a large amount of insulin can be produced.

Escherichia coli has become a "live factory" for insulin production. In 1981, insulin gene products were put into the market, solving the problem of insufficient insulin drug sources.

Cancer makes modern people frightened. In the microscopic world inside the human body, cancer cells are like sleeping lions that have been hungry for thousands of years. Once they wake up, they expand rapidly. They split very quickly, are not restricted by surrounding tissues, and appear to be "anarchical".

It can continuously divide and form a cell mass. Cancer cells are immature cells that live in the organism like parasites, swallow any food that can reach the mouth, plunder the nutrients of the human body, make people thin, weaken, pressurize the surrounding healthy tissues, cause other diseases and lead to death.

Some cancers are caused by viruses. Cancer cells grow very quickly and they reproduce many times faster than normal somatic cells.

Injection of interferon can slow down the growth rate of cancer cells and can therefore be used to overcome cancer. Some scientists have now used interferon to cure skin cancer.

Interferon is also effective for multiple myeloma, melanoma, breast cancer, and certain leukemias and lymphatic cancers. Therefore, medical experts pin their hopes for conquering cancer on interferon.

Of course, the causes of cancer are extremely complex, and treatment cannot rely entirely on interferon.

But even if interferon cannot promote tumor regression, it is still beneficial to prevent viral infection. Because viral infection is fatal to patients whose immune system is suppressed, patients treated with interferon will not endanger their lives due to viral infection.

In the past 10 years, Chinese scientists have used genetic engineering and other new technologies to finally discover genes that specifically deal with cell carcinoma, which is the proto-oncogene.

Under normal circumstances, they do not cause cell carcinogenesis. Only under the action of certain chemical factors, physical factors or viruses can they be activated and become oncogenic genes, causing cell carcinogenesis.

For example, if a certain basic structural unit on the proto-oncogene changes, this is called a point mutation; chromosomal fragments with the proto-oncogene are moved from one position to another, this is chromosomal displacement.

There is also a chemical gene on the proto-oncogene that is lost, or the proto-oncogene is reproduced in large quantities, etc.

These changes are like a switch that is turned on incorrectly. When the genes in the cells become confused, the cells expand without limitation. If genetic engineering technology is used to regulate the genes that are in disorder, will the cancer be cured?

However, gene therapy is not easy. First, genetic diagnosis is required to find out which gene or genes have "mistakes" and what kind of "mistakes" occur, then find the correct gene and prepare the target gene that is ready to be connected to the patient's body.

Finally, the genes should be sent to the patient's cells and grafted to the exact location of the gene chain. At the same time, the wrong genes should be replaced. This process should not only harm the cells, but also ensure that the new genes can work.

For current medical conditions, it is really difficult to perform genetic surgery. But humans have a good way to deal with cancer.

Therefore, Lian Feiyi is also very concerned about this cutting-edge science and will not discriminate against an academic school that looks at life from a different perspective because he likes ancient cultural heritage.

However, attention is attention, which does not mean that Lian Feiyi will give up his pursuit of martial arts and instead study the knowledge of biology.

The National Institute of Biology is a research institution that is funded by the state to build and manage. Of course, it also accepts donations from other private enterprises or individuals, but the government is still responsible for the management.

In the whole of China, there are currently only seven such large comprehensive biological research bases, and this one located in Dalian ranks first.

As the helm of a large logistics company, Chang Zihui seems to have begun to try to turn to operations recently, and inject capital into this "Life Engineering" project hosted by the state and joined by dozens of large groups.

As the future successor of the Chang family, Chang Shirui of course was qualified to visit, and he could choose to bring a escort.

In addition to Chang Shirui, there are also several younger generations from major families who have also received the same treatment.

The people around him are men and women, most of them are children of local wealthy families, including Zhao Huixin.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Seeing Lian Feiyi and Zhao Huixin's expressions strange, Chang Shirui also pulled his sleeves with great concern, pulled them closer and said, "Hey, what's going on with you and Huixin?"

Lian Feiyi didn't know how to say it, so he simply stopped talking, just shook his head.

"I'm not thinking about taking advantage of the situation!" Chang Shirui quickly explained: "I used to think I couldn't forget her, but in fact it was just boring. Now that I have a dream, I can see the feelings I used to be open to."

Chang Shirui was not pretending to be open-minded, but he had never forgotten it before. It was because he was doing nothing all day long that he kept thinking about this kind of love between men and women in his heart.

Although I still have a faint love now, I am no longer the same as before, and I cannot extricate myself because of obsession. After all, how can people with dreams and pursuits in their hearts sink for a mere emotional problem?

"Okay, OK..."

Just as Chang Shirui was busy explaining, crisp applause slapped in front of them, "On behalf of the staff in the institute, I welcome you. I am Dr. Yang Wenzi, majoring in bioengineering."

There are strict guards and first-class protective forces within the institute.

After layers of inspections, Lian Feiyi and his team of 19 people arrived at an open area of ​​the institute through the security gate. The person responsible for leading them was a doctor and his three assistants.

Obviously, they have now entered the interior of the institute, located on the fourth floor of the building, and are a spacious laboratory. The cleaned here is extremely neat, and researchers in white coats are busy with their own work, without even looking at this side.

Only Dr. Yang Wenzi and his three assistants led Lian Feiyi and the others to visit.

"Next, I want to introduce you to a controversial biological technology, known as the incredible 'replica' art." Dr. Yang Wenzi pointed to a high-hanging LCD screen and introduced it to everyone with a smile.

"Two years ago, two professors from Liaodong University of Science and Technology in my country miraculously saw the cells of a mosquito living 40 million years ago from a slice of amber, and all the structures of this cell were surprisingly complete. It was this major discovery that induced scientists to recreate the great idea of ​​dinosaurs."
