Chapter 1262 Visiting Activities

Then, after a little bit of a silence, Yang Wenzi continued to say that according to this whim, a "lost DNA joint research team" composed of 12 paleontologists and genetic engineers was soon born."

According to the idea of ​​this group, in the Baiji era when dinosaurs flourished, some reptiles that had just bitten dinosaur blood must have been stuck with resin glue and then petrochemically formed amber. The blood of this reptile undoubtedly contains the nucleus of dinosaurs.

Since each cell contains genetic information that replicates another cell, once a complete nucleus belonging to a dinosaur is found, this replication will not be a fantasy.

Since the establishment of the China Federation, archaeology has gradually become popular, especially the large number of unearthed dinosaur fossils, which has aroused the curiosity and imagination of countless people.

An American writer, based on this idea, wrote a novel "Jurassic Park", which describes the resurrection of dinosaurs. It is said that now, Empire Film and Television Group and Hollywood are competing for the adaptation rights of this novel, intending to make a science fiction movie that can make a sensation around the world.

Unfortunately, this plan is still in the conception stage, but when Yang Wenzi talks about it, it naturally aroused the thoughts of many people.

"We are all confirmed, the omnipotence of plant cells has been confirmed. So do animal cells also have the omnipotence of replicating individuals?" Dr. Yang Wenzi kept mobilizing the thinking of visitors with questions one by one, which seemed very interesting.

During this visit, many people were forced by their parents, but they didn't feel bored at this time. Dr. Yang Wenzi vividly explained and added some story experiences, which added a lot of fun to explain the originally stereotyped academic concepts.

In 1960 and 1962, Dr. Gordon from the UK conducted nuclear transplantation tests for cell use clawed African toads as materials. Subsequently, the biology community of the Chinese Federation immediately carried out related research and achieved rich results, making China's biotechnology always in a leading position.

The research results show that as long as the nucleus in animal somatic cells is suitable, differentiated cells that only perform a certain function can still grow into a complete individual, which means that the nucleus of animals is also omnipotent.

The appropriate condition in these nuclear transplantation tests is the cytoplasm of the egg. Most of the genes that determine the traits of the organism are in the nucleus, so the individuals that grow into nucleus-changing eggs look very similar to those of the organisms that provide the nucleus.

Since Xenopus "replaces the nucleus egg" grew Xenopus, some people in the biology community have fantasized about human nucleus transplantation.

According to these people's ideas, if the nuclei of certain great science that have achieved extraordinary achievements is transplanted into human egg cells and replace the original nucleus in the egg cells, many very similar scientific great men will be born.

There was even a writer Luo Baoping who wrote a book called "Human Replication" based on animal nuclear transplantation technology: as long as a person's cells are preserved, a living person can be copied.

Since the individuals that grow nucleation eggs are almost exactly the same as those that provide cell nuclei, the "nucleation technology" in animals has obtained a very vivid and vivid name copying."

As if to enhance the persuasion, Dr. Yang Wenzi said that just recently, the cells of Mummy No. 721 stored in the Nanjing Antiquities Museum still had vitality. This mummy is the body of an ancient Egyptian prince who died 2430 years ago. Scientists believe that it is possible to give birth to an Egyptian prince of 2430 years old in a modern woman through cell nuclear transplantation. This is a wonderful fantasy."

These words naturally caused a whisper among the people below, and many young people had a look of yearning on their faces, and they were immersed in the technological world described by Yang Wenzi.

Only Lian Feiyi does not agree with Yang Wenzi's statement, which is the theoretical shackles of pure biology itself. Modern biologists deny the existence of the soul and spirit because their observation methods and theoretical basis are derived from Western theory of inference.

Although neurons can transmit electrical signals to various parts of the human body and then achieve the goal of controlling the body, biology still regards life as a collection of cells and lacks a complete theoretical framework.

For example, Yang Wenzi thought that a cell was cloned and a person was copied.

But what about it?

Determining a person's soul is a more complicated matter. Even if a person can be copied by cloning the cells of a great scientist, it does not mean that the copied individual will also become a great scientist.

This involves the accidental difference in the formation of the soul and the impact of life experience on individuals of subjective will, which are not entirely determined by cells.

However, Lian Feiyi was more interested in Yang Wenzi's next words, which was about the large-scale genetic project "Interpretation of the Book of Life".

On October 21, 1970, scientists from Germany and China who participated in the Human Genome Project announced sketches of human genomes to the world on the same day.

It was only two months later that the United States unified the opinions of NATO member states, expressed their plans to compete with China and Germany in "genetic engineering".

The basic deciphering of human genetic code shows that humans have entered a new era of understanding of themselves.

Although it does not involve the exploration of the soul and the mind, modern biology observes and analyzes the body from a microscopic perspective, which also has its own unique features, which facilitates humans to understand more comprehensively the physiological structure and operating conditions.

What Lian Feiyi is really interested in is also the knowledge of this part.

On the 8th of this year, at a national press conference held in Nanjing, Wei Hanjun, the head of the International Human Genome, and Fan Wenzhe, the current executive director of Qingzhu Chemical Group, attended the meeting to disclose the sketch at the same time.

The reason why it is called a sketch is that at present, only 97 have been sequenced in the global genome, of which only 85 have been accurately measured, and it will take three years to complete the mapping of the entire map.

According to Yang Wenzi's narration, Lian Feiyi learned the details of genetic structure for the first time. If the entire human genome map was published, it would be equivalent to the content of 200 yellow pages with a thickness of up to 500 pages.

This concept has only gradually emerged recently, and even in textbooks, it has not been introduced in detail.

Only an authoritative institution like the National Institute of Biology has such detailed information for people to inquire and understand. At this point, Lian Feiyi felt that this trip was worthwhile.

This "most wonderful sketch" alone is enough to provide rich information. The sketch shows that the genome sequences of different individuals are only 3 million, which means that the difference rate of the gene code is only 0.2.

After the human genome sequencing is completed, scientists will analyze how base pairs form genes and the functions of various genes, and clarify the location, structure and function of all genes.

Wei Hanjun predicts that it may take decades or even a whole century to completely decipher the secret mission of life, which means that the human life book has only opened the homepage.

As the head of the Chinese federal government Zhang Jinglin predicted at a press conference in the cabinet, the successful mapping of human genome maps will have a sexual impact on diagnosis, prevention and even treatment of diseases. Diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, diabetes and cancer will be eradicated by genetic drugs. "Our children will not know what cancer is."

With the announcement of the genome sketch, a magnificent genetic medicine is about to begin.

But new questions follow one after another. Who should have genomic resources?

Is it an investor with a lot of money in his hands, or is it all mankind?

It is disturbing that although leaders of the two major competitive camps of the human genome map appeared at the press conference that day, the commercialization differences after the supergene engineering were not resolved.

The Human Gene Global Project Team clearly announced that it would publish all information on the Internet, but Dr. Wei Hanjun did not hide his motivation for striving for commercial profits.

This is the norm in this era, and science and technology and economic interests are inseparable from each other.

Due to concerns that genetic research may be fully commercialized, Gu Yuejun, chairman of the China Zhongtian Foundation, repeatedly emphasized at a press conference that "genetic code is the core of human nature and should not be unique to individuals, companies or countries."

But Professor John Schulston of the Center for Advanced Technology Research at South China University admits that it is difficult to draw a line between genetic information belonging to the public and genetic research in the commercial field.

What is worrying is that the international system construction for genetic information management is currently quite lagging behind.

The threshold for applying for gene patents set by the Huaxia Federal Technical Patent Office is too low. Even if the applicant has little gene function, he can apply for a patent based on his description of the fragment structure alone.

Once the patent is in hand, the merchant will undoubtedly gain monopoly rights in a certain genomic field, which will set artificial obstacles for future application research.

This is exactly the biggest concern of the international community. Just two days before the announcement of the human genome map, the first International Biological Conference closed in Gijon City, northwest Spain.

225 scientists from 17 countries around the world signed a biological lunar statement at the end of the meeting. They repeatedly emphasized that the human genetic map should not be protected by patents, it should be the property of all human beings.

Genetic engineering and technology are considered to be the dominant technologies in the 21st century. As one of the symbols of new technologies, they have been widely valued by countries around the world.

Genetic engineering will completely change people's lifestyles and have excellent development prospects.

At the same time, as Zhang Jinglin, the head of the Chinese Federation, pointed out at the press conference, in the 21st century, the problem of scientific and technological theory will become increasingly prominent. From now on, noble scientific theory must be established and improved."

It is precisely because the benefits involved in biotechnology are huge that in addition to governments, large and powerful consortiums have also stepped up their application of genetic research results.

Among them, two private companies are the ones that are registered in the United States, and Qingzhu Chemical, one of the three major consortiums in the China Federation.

Biology and chemical technology have always been the core areas of Qingzhu Chemical, and its technological leadership is unparalleled. However, in the past twenty years, the rise of Magic Claw Company seems to be constantly challenging Qingzhu Chemical Group, the overlord of traditional biochemical technology.

Qingzhu Chemical launched the "New Era Project" in May this year to create new industries and strengthen its international competitiveness. The most important project is the "New Era Chromosome Project".

There are many aspects to the key research topics of the "New Era Chromosome Project".

The first point is to analyze human genes, and then analyze the causes of five diseases such as dementia, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and asthma at the genetic level.

Then, regenerative medicine is developed with the focus on bones and cartilage, skin and cornea, blood vessels, blood and bone marrow, nerves, and transplantation technologies.

Finally, it is to establish gene banks such as comprehensive databases, base difference databases, disease databases, etc. The universities, universities, national scientific research institutes and private enterprises, which participated in the "New Era Chromosome Project", scientists from the National Research Institute and private enterprises have formed a research team and started to take action.

Although many non-governmental organizations have been brought to join, the core technology has been firmly held in the hands and has no intention of sharing the final technological achievements with anyone.

In a business-oriented social system, such things are everywhere.

Among all industries, the pharmaceutical industry is most closely related to genetic research and the most concerned about developments.

The Suwen Pharmaceutical Association, which is based in the Yangtze River region, established a special agency as early as August last year. Its eight major pharmaceutical companies, including Wuhan University, Changsha University and other universities, national scientific research institutions and other relevant parties decided to investigate and research the development trends of life sciences after the Human Genome Project, with the purpose of using the human genome analytical results to research and develop new drugs.

These pharmaceutical groups are more or less related to Qingzhu Chemical or Xinghua Society, representing the influence of the three major groups on the economic field.

The China Pharmaceutical Industry Association, headquartered in Guangzhou, has recently formulated a three-year plan to develop new drugs using genome analytical results since 1975. Thirty or forty member companies of the association have expressed a positive attitude towards this.

One of the specific topics is "Research on Dynamic Genes of Drugs", which is about analyzing the base differences of 160 genes related to the efficacy of drugs, analyzing the existence and function of mutated proteins, etc.

In addition, blood samples from about 1,000 volunteers will be collected and a database will be established for analysis of human genes.

Various pharmaceutical companies are also developing and implementing research and development plans. One of the surveys at the beginning of the year mentioned that more than 70 pharmaceutical companies are concerned about applying genetic research results to the medical field and are actively obtaining research results on genes and chromosomes to use these research results to develop new drugs.

Each enterprise participates on average 2.1 "official, industry and academia" cooperation projects, and more than 40 companies have established cooperative relationships with state-owned enterprises in related fields, 42.5 companies intend to conduct joint research in China, and 38.4 companies will be committed to strengthening their own basic research.

There are also 27.4 companies that intend to cooperate with risk companies under the Industrial and Economic Union or buy risk companies. The latest survey results of China Economic News Agency show that the research and development funds of 10 major pharmaceutical companies in China reached 7 billion yen in 1971.

This data increased by 12.1 from the previous year, accounting for 14.2 of its drug sales, which shows that they attach great importance to the use of genetic research results to develop new drugs.

At this time, Lian Feiyi truly realized that although modern biology has not appeared for a long time, it has received sufficient manpower and material support under the industrial production model. Its system has become increasingly perfect and unique.

However, Yang Wenzi has been introducing the economic development prospects. Perhaps other rich second-generations present like to listen, but Lian Feiyi was not interested.

They don’t have a special hobby for making money, but they just hope to learn more about biology.

But seeing Yang Wenzi talking in front of the screen was so magnificent that others, including Chang Shirui, had their eyes shining. He objected at this time, and there was absolutely no good result.

Therefore, Lian Feiyi felt a little absent-minded when he heard it.

However, after that, it is free to read, and you can visit freely in the open area at will. The information here is allowed to be semi-public, with only theoretical knowledge and no too core professional technology involved.

In order to facilitate visitors to seek advice, the institute has equipped everyone with a commentator, who are all graduated from graduate school and have a master's degree.

The person in charge of receiving Lian Feiyi was a female researcher, who was quite young, but at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, and looked like a beautiful sister.

"Hello, my name is Yan Xinqi." The female researcher wearing a white coat and a professional short skirt gave people a fresh and bright feeling. Her skin was fair and delicate, and her clothes were also very fashionable. She was not the kind of lady wearing ancient costumes.

The slender thighs only cover half of them, giving people endless imagination.

"Hello, my name is Lian Feiyi." Although she was facing a trendy beauty, Lian Feiyi showed that she was mature and polite and obedient, and answered politely without looking at her eyes.

On the contrary, Zhao Huixin looked here after hearing the sound, her eyes a little uneasy. Although there was a barrier and alienation, Lian Feiyi was still her little boyfriend after all.

As a person, he is always wary and hostile to his equally beautiful and unrealistic person.

"Can I introduce me to my knowledge about life sciences? I am more interested in this." For his beautiful face, even Feiyi only secretly praised him and quickly threw it behind his mind.

He now hopes to learn more about life sciences, enhance his understanding of the essence of life, and thus improve his martial arts cultivation.

And he also hopes to get some inspiration from modern biology to inspire his thinking, and then to understand the contents of the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra". (You are welcome to subscribe and reward, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
