"There are two special guests below!"
"A pioneer in the field of gene editing, Professor Burton Richter from the Department of Biology, Stanford University."
a moment,
Professor Burton Richter came to the stage, but he was angry that he was called to the stage in the first place. Basically, the more heavyweight the person on this occasion, the more he would appear at the end. However, he never expected that he was actually in Xu Mang’s In front, there are only two guests.
"Next is the authority in the field of physics, the Nobel Prize winner in physics...Professor Xu Mang!"
As soon as the voice fell,
Xu Mang came to the stage with a smile on his face, and his position was next to Professor Burton Richter, a few meters away from the supporters. It was a very standard mode of conversation. It seems that the organizers are very careful. , Of course... it may also have ulterior motives. Who knows what tricks in America.
Seeing Xu Mang with a calm face on the stage, a bunch of foreign experts in the field of gene editing, I felt very uncomfortable. If this guy is a biology, then forget it, but he is engaged in theoretical physics research, and then he became The most cutting-edge figure in the field of gene editing.
After was a very boring greeting session. Xu Mang was completely indifferent to this session. After asking and answering, the whole state was incompatible with this elite forum meeting. For a while, the salty fish atmosphere permeated the entire venue.
"Professor Burton Richter... what do you think of the future of gene editing?" the supporter asked.
"The current situation is fairly good. In this highly competitive field in the world, American scientists have begun to lead the world." Professor Burton Richter said seriously: "Recently, our research team at Stanford University discovered existing gene editing technology. While modifying DNA, a large amount of ribonucleic acid will be accidentally injured."
"According to this discovery, we invented a gene editing technology that will not cause accidental injury, with a success rate of over 97%, making gene editing safer and more efficient, and providing an important safety guarantee for its entry into the clinic. "
The words fall,
Professor Burton Richter glanced at Xu Mang who was silent, and asked curiously: "Professor Xu Mang, do you have any opinion on this technology we discovered?"
"what?"
"Oh... a very good technique." Xu Mang nodded his head with a confused look, but his tone was extra serious: "Work hard and strive to be equal to us in the past two years. I will be the number one in the world. Watching you work hard."
Professor Burton Richter: @#¥%...!
mad!
is too arrogant!
It is not only Professor Burton Richter who is very angry. Many European and American gene editing experts felt hot pain on their faces. This is more than a shame. It is simply on the head of the United States!
"Ahem!"
"Then what...Professor Burton Richter, can you talk more about this technology?" The host hurriedly changed the subject. Before coming to this venue, the organizer had found him and put The situation that may be encountered is repeated, and among them is Xu Mang mocking others.
"it is good!"
"At present, we have applied for a patent for it, and promoted the transformation to clinical and industrial." Professor Burton Richter said seriously: "Venture investment has been involved, hoping to accelerate the transformation of basic research to clinical and industrial."
"is it?"
"Excuse me, what are the clinical diseases?" the supporter asked.
Professor Burton Richter gave a light cough and said seriously: "There are more than 7,000 rare diseases that plague humans worldwide, and about 80% of them are single-gene genetic diseases, such as thalassemia and blood. Friendship disease, macular degeneration of the retina, hereditary deafness, etc."
"Theoretically, using gene editing technology can easily correct these natural mistakes and restore health to hundreds of millions of patients." Professor Burton Richter continued: "But so far, the safety cannot be determined. Only two or three gene editing technologies have reached the stage of clinical trials."
At this time,
Xu Mang raised his head and glanced at Burton Richter beside him. Although this guy is very annoying, his ideals are noble.
"To cure a genetic disease, it is often necessary to perform gene editing on trillions of adult cells. If the editing is not accurate enough, cell errors will cause cancer and other risks." Professor Burton Richter said seriously: "Most genes Editing techniques use viruses as carriers, and then send the editing tools to the inside of the cell."
"Despite the presence of navigators, there will still be off-target phenomena, even if Professor Xu Mang discovered the latest editing tools, there will be off-targets, although he said that he will not." Professor Burton Richter smiled calmly: "I The fatal shortcomings of the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system have been discovered."
"!!!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
momentarily,
The scene began to become active, everyone's eyes widened, looking expectantly at Professor Burton Richter.
"About the fatal shortcomings of Professor Xu Mang's CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system, I will mention it later. Now I will continue to talk about the technology discovered by our Stanford University." Professor Burton Richter laughed: "Please stay calm and restless. ."
Xu Mang: (﹁_﹁)
special,
His ideals are noble or not, it's my shit... I'll kill you later!
"Human DNA has more than 3 billion bases, one percent of which are gene fragments, and many of the remaining parts record non-coding ribonucleic acid and other molecules involved in life activities." Burton Richie Professor De said: "We have established a testing system."
"Then the supposedly safe single-base gene editing technology can cause mutations 20 times the normal state." Professor Burton Richter said: "For this, we have developed a gene editing technology that will not cause accidental injury."
"Encoding ribonucleic acid can directly produce protein, and it is also the second delivery tool that turns DNA into protein. Changes may directly affect life activities." Professor Burton Richter continued: "The progress is very impressive now."
The words fall,
There was applause on the scene, and almost everyone was excited about it. Finally, there is a technology that can be comparable to the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system, and...the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system has huge defects, basically China The world's number one cannot be kept.
as long as...
Professor Burton Richter made it public, they have no room for recovery.
"Professor Xu Mang?"
"Do you have any opinion on the technology developed by Professor Burton Richter's team?" the host asked.
View?
What are your thoughts.
Xu Mang said listlessly: "It's okay, but...I want to know what the fatal shortcomings of the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system are."
"it is good!"
"Since Professor Xu Mang wants to know so much, I will publish it." Professor Burton Richter said with a smile: "Although the success rate of the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system is very high, and it can be done with AI. A 100% success rate, but... there are some errors in individual genomes that even AI cannot detect."
"Our technology must be used!"
The words fall,
Professor Burton Richter took out a data disk, handed it to the host, and said, "Please show the contents on the back of the display."
just a moment,
Everyone, including Xu Mang, saw the following sets of data.
"This is based on the existing publicly available CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system. The data calculated by our team shows that the failure rate in the face of early aging syndrome and blood sweat is as high as 15%, which is intolerable. !"
"But please rest assured!"
"The technology developed by our Stanford University has a very significant effect on genetic diseases and can make up for the defects caused by the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system." Professor Burton Richter said seriously.
at this time,
Xu Mang turned his back to everyone, looked up at the huge display screen in front of him, and fell into confusion for a while.
Hey?
Why did I forget these two?
Xu Mang frowned, thinking about why these two genes had been forgotten, and finally he thought of the reason. It was a problem with the database... It seemed that the data of these two genes was not recorded.
"Professor Xu?"
"Professor Xu?"
The host saw Xu Mang looking at the screen in a daze, and hurriedly asked him: "Are you surprised by the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system you have developed?"
"Uh..."
"No."
"Science is constantly exploring and self-denying. The database on which the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system depends does not include these two genes. After all, these two genes are too rare, but... this is not a reason." Xu Mang said seriously: "I admit that the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system has huge defects in front of these two genes."
"..."
"..."
at this time,
Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yi looked particularly unconvinced. Sure enough, Professor Xu Mang followed the way of others~EbookFREE.me~ These nasty Americans took the only mistake and pointed to Professor Xu Mang’s discovery that there was a defect, and opened What's the joke? Why don't they think about the significant improvement in other genes besides these two.
"Damn it!"
"It's so damnable!"
"This group of people is shameless!" Xiao Zheng said angrily: "Professor Xu Mang's CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system has been tested by our experiments and the success rate is very, very high. Take these two special genes as an example. Thing, damn... damn!"
"Not really!"
"Stanford University's technology is still in development, so you dare to show it off?" Xiao Yi said angrily: "I'm so angry!"
get angry to get angry,
But what should I do next?
Both Xiao Zheng and Xiao Yi were very worried for Xu Mang. At present, Professor Xu Mang has been torn open a wound, and these people will definitely add salt to the wound.
"Ahem!"
"Host?"
"Is it my time next?" Xu Mang said blankly, "Should I show you something?"
"???"
"???"
"???"
Everyone looked at Xu Mang at the same time, with worry and expectation in their eyes.
