: 414 Dinosaur Somatic DNA

Many people know that there is a lot of oil in the Middle East. It is a large natural oil depot. Oil reserves account for 57% of the world's total reserves, and oil production accounts for 31% of the world's total. It is rich in oil.
However, what many people don't know is that from the Gulf of Mexico to the Caribbean, to South America, all are high-oil producing areas.
On Google Maps, above the island of Tortuga, in the Gulf of Mexico, it is considered to be one of the most abundant oil reserves in the world.
Below the map of Tortuga Island, Venezuela, one of the top ten oil producing countries in the world, is also one of the four founding countries of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Its recoverable oil reserves rank first in the Western Hemisphere, fifth in the world, and crude oil production. It accounts for 3% of total world crude oil production and 10% of OPEC production.
The geographical position is a little further below. Below the Caribbean Sea, Colombia, Latin America's fifth largest oil producer, oil production accounts for 5% of the entire Latin American region.
It would not be surprising if a super-large oil field was explored someday in the Caribbean.
When Chen Rui just bought Tortuga Island, he knew that there is a huge giant oil field on the seabed. It is located in the sea area about 40 to 50 nautical miles northwest of Tortuga Island. The reserves are very amazing, and the reserves may exceed billions of tons. Ranked one of the top ten oil fields in the world.
At that time, Chen Rui did not acquire the sovereignty of Tortuga Island, and the sovereignty still belongs to the sea. Even if the oil was explored, this huge oilfield eventually became cheaper.
Now, Chen Rui has obtained the sovereignty of Tortuga Island, including the territorial sea, 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zone, becoming an independent sovereign state, plus. Chen Rui's international influence, and the hidden strengths that any world power should dread, can completely explore ultra-mega oilfields.
Chen Rui talked with other exploration staff for a while on the exploration ship. Had lunch with everyone on board and then. Leaving the exploration ship.
Stand on the 'Starfish' and look at the sea beneath you.
Chen Rui can imagine that when a reserve exceeds billions of tons, the world's top ten reserves, surpassing Russia's second Baku and Tyumen oil fields, it produces most of the ultra-giant oil fields with very good quality and light waxes. When explored, the world will react the same way.
The whole world was shocked.
then. Oil prices have fallen.
The voice of Tortuga cannot be ignored by any international oil exporting country or organization that wants to manipulate international oil prices for maximum benefits.

Chen Rui returned to Tortuga Island on the 'Starfish' yacht.
Take the bus to the National University of New Changan and park your car at the gate of the school.
Then, walk into the campus to the Biology Institute.
The Institute of Biology was originally an independent scientific research institution. After the establishment of the National University of Tortuga, the Institute of Biology was merged into the University's Department of Biology.
Walk into the gate of the Biology Institute.
"Welcome Mr. Chen." An old man, about 5 or 60 years old, with a healthy face and a yellow-skinned face, greeted him and stretched out his hand to Chen Rui.
The old man was named Li Hongying, who was of Chinese descent. Internationally renowned biologists have deep research in biological cell cloning, and have successfully cloned 10 calves using the somatic cells of a 12-year-old cow. He is currently the director of the Department of Biology and Director of the Institute of Biology of the National University of Tortuga.
Chen Rui reached out and shook hands with Li Hongying. "Hello, Professor Li."
"Mr. Chen, talk to my office." Li Hongying said.
"Okay." Chen Rui nodded.
Follow Li Hongying to his office.
Li Hongying poured Chen Rui a cup of tea.
"Are there any results for dinosaur cloning?" Chen Rui took a sip of tea and looked up to Li Hongying.
The two dinosaurs found in Antarctica were transported back to Tortuga and kept cold in the underground ice storage, but for research and realization at the time, they were like the plot in the science fiction movie Jurassic Park. A living dinosaur was cloned, and scientists at the Institute of Biology extracted a small portion of the cells from the hind rump of the dinosaur. Some results so far.
Li Hong should smile, a little excited in his tone. Said, "We successfully obtained several somatic cells with complete DNA information from the extracted cells of Tyrannosaurus Rex yesterday, so we will inform you immediately."
After listening to this sentence, some people must find it strange.
With the complete body of a dinosaur, it is not difficult to extract individual cells. Is it so exciting? ?
However, you need to know the fact that every nucleotide in DNA can be maintained for 6.8 million years under extremely perfect conditions.
When did the dinosaur die? About 65 million years ago, DNA could not be kept for so long.
Even the weirdest scientist, the rich, would not say that they wanted to clone dinosaurs, unless the dinosaurs that Henry VIII once rode on the battlefield were absolutely impossible.
For those fans of "Jurassic Park", you are disappointed. The dinosaur genetics extracted from dinosaur blood in prehistoric mosquitoes condensed in amber will extinct 65 million years of prehistoric giants. The resurrection of the beast is absolutely impossible in reality, because DNA can't be saved for such a long time, not to mention that the desert is definitely not such an excellent environment.
However, there is always a special case in which a DNA map in a somatic cell is completely preserved.
The previous work of cloning in the Institute of Biology was to find the special case from the somatic cells of the dinosaurs, and the somatic cells that still kept the DNA map intact.
This job is definitely not easy.
That is to rely on the luck of buying lottery tickets ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and rely on immense patience.
After more than a year.
Dozens of bioscientists and their assistants finally found that special case, a few somatic cells with complete DNA information.
"Congratulations," Chen Rui said.
Li Hongying said, "When I watched" Jurassic Park ", I thought it would be impossible to clone a dinosaur like a movie.
I did not expect that you could miraculously find two dinosaur bodies that were frozen in Antarctica, and the corpses were very well preserved, and you would miraculously find a dinosaur somatic cell with complete DNA information. Two 'almost impossible miracles' have extinct 6,500 years The prehistoric behemoth is likely to be reborn.
However, obtaining the complete genome of a dinosaur is only a difficult and almost impossible first step. The second step is even more difficult to break through. "Cloning" technology puts the genome information into a specific embryo and transplants it into a specific recipient to produce an individual. Effective animal cloning needs to be carried out between the same species or closely related species. At present, the animals on the earth are distantly related to dinosaurs. "(To be continued)
