Chapter Five Hundred and First: Shameful Waste
? In addition to Chen Mo Wubing's original team, more than 30 genomics and bioinformatics experts were divided into two groups, each of which was responsible for the detection of one protein.
After the division of labor is completed, the expert group begins to discuss their method of completing the project and prepare the experimental theory. Everyone hopes to find out the two toxic protein genes in the shortest time.
The researchers all knew that Chen Mo came to them just to speed up the research. A few days later, it could save the lives of many people.
Chen Mo and Wu Bing came out of the research institute, and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the two rushed back to the dormitory.
"How long do you think this expert group study will be completed?"
"It shouldn't take too long. Finding the gene sequence is not a problem. The main reason is that multiple tests are needed. With so many experts involved, the time can be shortened a lot."
Chen Mo said this because DNA testing technology is very mature now. It is not difficult to find the gene sequence and structure of proteins. It can be said that this is a basic skill in genomics research.
"I hope so. If this vaccine research is successful, you will be a hero, Chen Yingxiong." Wu Bing joked.
"A hero, I don't want to be a hero. I'm a businessman and I want to make money. With the advent of customized vaccines and the revolution in vaccine technology, a lot of gold is in front of me, and now there are dozens of experts to help me accelerate technological breakthroughs. , almost fairly free labor.”
Seeing Chen Mo happy, Wu Bing was a little speechless.
"With so many experts and academicians as free labor, I am afraid that in the world, there is only a bold businessman like you. If they knew, they would probably arrest you and parade in the public."
Chen Mo spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "I just wanted a few more experts in genomics, but they called me more than 30 people. I don't need to spend money. It's a shameful waste."
He and Shi Hongtu said that he needed a few genetic engineering experts to help. As a result, Shi Hongtu was afraid of the shortage of manpower, so he reported it to the past as a technical breakthrough. As a result, more than 30 top genetic researchers were found, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
Now that he is here, Chen Mo will naturally not miss this good opportunity and let these researchers help him study for free.
"Next, we need to prepare the genetic modification experiment of the vaccine. We need to find a few teachers who study gene expression regulation to join the group, and the next modification time will be much shorter."
"Academician Yang Yunjia is an expert in this field.
He is presiding over an expression regulation project, he can, and Academician Wang Qi, Academician Gao Fu..." Wu Bing said the names of several relevant academicians.
"Well." Chen Mo wrote down a few names.
"Would you like to have dinner together?" After talking about the topic of work, Wu Bing turned the topic back to life.
"No, Mo Nv cooked rice and waited for me in the dormitory." Chen Mo said.
Speaking of Mo Nv, Wu Bing's eyes became strange.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I've always wanted to ask you a question. Ink girl came here with you and still lives together. Does your wife know?" Wu Bing looked at Chen Mo curiously to see how he reacted.
"What do you want to express?" Chen Mo had a black line on his forehead.
"Is your wife not against it?"
Chen Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was no explanation for this, and there was no need to explain it. He could only shrugged: "No, she also told Mo Nu how to take care of me and what to pay attention to. It made me feel like I couldn't take care of myself."
"Okay, your wife has a big heart." Wu Bing said with a meaningful smile: "The ink girl is not ordinary, she looks like the jewel in the palm of a rich family, how did you abduct you to be your assistant?"
"Charisma."
"..." Wu Bing rolled his eyes.
Over the next few days, the team of experts entered a state of emergency research. Everyone's nerves are tense, hoping to complete their respective research topics as soon as possible.
More than 30 top genomics and bioinformatics experts are focusing on a topic here, and the medical community in the capital has become busier than ever.
The Capital Institute of Biogenetics is also used as one of the research institutes for this research. The required experimental materials will also be quickly put in place under the coordination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Quick assistance.
Race against the clock.
As Chen Mo expected, it didn't take long for the good news to come out from the laboratory.
Seeing the results of the report, not only Yang Yun's family, but other members of the team all had joy on their faces.
Their group is responsible for the topic of T3 protein. T3 protein is one of the two poisonous proteins mentioned by Chen Mo. Two days ago, the gene sequence of the T1 protein was found by members of the T1 team.
For the past two days, they have been thinking about the gene of the T3 protein that they have been looking for all the time, and today it was finally completed.
Finding the genetic sequence is not difficult for them, but the Reedman virus vaccine can save thousands of lives, and they feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"The location of the gene sequence of the T3 protein has been found, and we have informed Academician Chen that our group's mission is not up to our expectations."
"Thank you for your hard work."
After getting the experimental data, Chen Mo thanked the researchers on the field.
The gene sequences of the two proteins were found, and the next thing was much easier. However, in order to be faster, Chen Mo still needs to pull a few people in to participate in the research.
Now the group are all experts in genomics, and there are several academicians who study gene expression regulation. It was difficult to gather so many experts and academicians here, and he felt sorry for himself if he didn't make the best use of it.
To save time and get the vaccine done faster, yes, that's it.
After Chen Mo finished thinking, he spoke.
"Teachers, next, we need to limit the expression of these two protein genes on the vaccine system platform. Because the experiment has multiple directions, it needs some manpower, and I am afraid we need your help."
"We are here to help, Academician Chen, if you need anything from us, feel free to ask." Yang Yun's family stood up.
"Because there are many ways to restrict gene expression, such as gene amplification, deletion, methylation modification, gene manipulation, etc. These methods can be used, but we do not know the impact of these two genes on the vaccine system platform, so we are ready to Try all of these methods.
We're simultaneously revamping the vaccine platform, experimenting with all of them at the same time to see which one works. It can save a lot of time, trying one by one, I am afraid it will take a long time. Our group can only conduct experiments in one direction in a short period of time, so we need experts in gene expression regulation to preside over the experiments in the other directions. "
"Let me count as one." Yang Yunjia said.
"I count one."
"I'm also here to join in the fun!!"
Several experts and academicians in the study of gene expression regulation mentioned by Wu Bing have come forward. In the end, Chen Mo identified several of the most prestigious academicians as the leaders of the group to preside over research in other directions.
After the task was assigned, Chen Mocai said to Shi Hongtu: "Team Leader Shi, you have sent all the patients infected with the virus to the hospital so that we can conduct vaccine trials."
"Okay." Shi Hongtu agreed immediately.
The mortality rate of contracting the virus is 100%. If you are sent for treatment, there is still a slight chance of surviving. If there is no family member of the patient, the treatment will be refused.
With proper arrangements, the six groups of members, under the guidance of Chen Mo, began to transform the vaccine.
