Chapter 85: Bold Guesses
At noon, Cheng Yuan sat up straight, leaning back against the soft pillow, frowning and thinking about the change in genetic code.
Gene encoding is to encode a DNA sequence into several mRNAs, and this sequence can become an intron on this mRNA. Introns are functional and non-functional, and if an intron is removed from a gene, the gene may no longer form mRNA, but it may produce the opposite.
Introns may seem to have no function, but they have a lot to do with the expression of genes. In Cheng Yuan's consideration, if he wants to change a person's physical fitness through the gene layer, then he must clearly interpret all the functions of introns.
If an intron were to be changed to resemble a lion, what would be the effect on the human body?
Is it a sudden change in appearance, or a mental influence, or a single power enhancement?
The result is unknown, but Cheng Yuan is full of interest.
Knowledge is very boring for most people, but for those who know them deeply, it is like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, which is addictive.
Under the calculation of the super brain, countless results of genetic coding emerged from Cheng Yuan's head, and the ideas were very bold and unreal.
Because these are just guesses, they have not been tested, and Cheng Yuan doesn't know if his ideas are correct.
The core of science and technology crystallization is only enough for him to extract a few times, and he has to seize every opportunity to provide a considerable amount of genetic enhancement information with sufficient knowledge, and then through the correction and enhancement of science and technology crystallization, he can get the scientific and technological knowledge he finally wants.
However, here comes the problem again. The real role of introns is only a recessive expression in modern biology, and the biggest role is reflected in heredity. What makes them pay attention is the structural exons, because the exons are the final expression of the biological structure.
Just like why people look like this, skin, muscles, bones, fibers, internal organs and other intuitive factors are one of them, on the cell layer that cannot be directly seen by the naked eye, exons are the primary expression mode of cells, and why cells grow like that is because of the expression of exons in the gene layer.
The human body is complex and sophisticated, and it is no less than a machine.
Countless cells combine to form various organs and external surfaces of the human body, and the expression of cells depends on the internal structure of the gene layer.
Born with disabilities, born with diseases, etc., these are closely related to the genes of human beings.
So are introns and exons really just two subtly related gene layer structures?
Although Cheng Yuan felt that it would not be so simple in his heart, he couldn't say why.
He needs more knowledge to supplement his ignorance, he needs more knowledge and recognition!
"Zhang Li, when will the materials be delivered?" Raising his head, Cheng Yuan looked at Zhang Li, his eyes full of urgency.
Looking at Cheng Yuan's eager eyes, Zhang Li's spirit perked up, and he hurriedly said, "I'll urge it." After saying that, Zhang Zhang turned around and left the ward, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to connect.
Cheng Yuan nodded at Zhang Li's move, he really needed to fill in his knowledge gap in this area now.
After Zhang Li went out, Cheng Yuan refocused on his own thinking.
The connection between introns and exons, as well as the changes that occur when they are changed externally, need to be taken into account by Cheng Yuan.
After all, the human body is a whole, and any change in the complement will have an impact on the entire body.
In addition to these, Cheng Yuan also needs to consider the non-code genes of the human body.
Non-code genes, also known as "junk DNA," are still a mystery about their function. They do not carry information about the synthesis of proteins, enzymes, and other chemicals produced by the body like normal genes.
Non-code gene sequences are not intended for any purpose. They don't make statements, which means that the information they carry is unreadable, they don't have synthetic substances, and they don't have any function at all. But it accounts for 97% of the human body, and it is still present in 3% of our DNA, passed down from generation to generation.
Thinking of this, two bold guesses popped up in Cheng Yuan's mind, these codes that had never been deciphered could be a kind of hidden function of human beings, and if human beings discovered 97% of the functions, would there be great changes in the body.
Just like the mutants in the movie, let humans have all kinds of incredible abilities?
The X gene in the movie is based on the presence of 3% of active genes that are active in humans themselves. Mutants are 3% more active than the standard 3% of the normal population, and use the remaining 97% more gene functions. So they have all sorts of incredible abilities.
This is a bold speculation, and it also makes Cheng Yuan feel incredible.
The other guess is much more normal than the first guess, in Cheng Yuan's thinking, these 97 percent of the non-code genes are evolved from the three percent of the genetic code at the core of our human body to fix the human body form and organ function.
The two coexist with each other to form the current individual of human beings.
Although neither of these two speculations can be established with modern cognition, Cheng Yuan has such a faint sign in his mind.
He didn't know why he thought this way, but he felt that even if it wasn't as exaggerated as the first guess, 97 percent of the non-code genes must have an unknown function, and maybe it was the key to the genetic enhancement he was considering!
The idea suddenly appeared, and when Cheng Yuan was about to enter it into the computer as usual, his fingers were on the keyboard and he didn't move.
He hesitated, should such an idea be entered into the computer?
After hesitating for a moment, he removed his hands from the computer keyboard, and it was better not to say such arrogant speculation at will, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, he didn't know if the people who were spying on him had other ideas.
If there were, his guess would definitely cause a series of adverse reactions.
Perhaps an ordinary worker would only laugh at him if he said such an idea, but Cheng Yuan, a well-known genius, would not only attract great attention, but also might make some organizations with ideas start to act directly.
Developing the various abilities of the human body is an extremely tempting idea to think about!
Closing the computer, Cheng Yuan leaned quietly on the hospital bed, waiting for Zhang Li's action.
Outside the window, the bright sunlight pours from the sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the winter, and the bright light penetrates the ward, making the whole room bathed in golden colors, comfortable and warm. Cheng Yuan looked at the blue sky in a daze, but there were more and more thoughts in his mind.
"Ninety-seven percent!" Grasping the white futon, Cheng Yuan's dark eyes became brighter and brighter.
Just when Cheng Yuan was alone, the door of the ward suddenly opened, and Cheng Yuan turned his head to look, but it was Guo Xiaolian who walked in with a slightly shy face carrying a thermos pot.
Although the surprise was not tension, Guo Xiaolian's twisted posture made him realize that the purpose of last night's party seemed to be very successful.
Immediately, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Are you here, have you gone to your new home to see?"
Being said so directly by Cheng Yuan, Guo Xiaolian's wheat-colored face turned even redder, she lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Well, my parents packed up their things and moved over last night, and they have already quit their jobs this morning." ”
Coming to Cheng Yuan with a red face, Guo Xiaolian quickly opened the thermos pot, and a thick aroma of rice wafted out of the thermos pot, making Cheng Yuan's nose move.
"What did you do at noon?" Cheng Yuan stretched out his head to look into the thermos pot.
"White rice, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded pork, all you love. Guo Xiaolian pressed the shyness in her heart and said softly. Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she couldn't help blushing and heartbeat last night when both parents agreed to the matter between the two.
Especially after hearing that the two new houses were their dowry, the parents agreed to Uncle Cheng's request without hesitation.
This kind of practice of treating herself as a commodity, she surprisingly did not have any objection, but was very happy.
When I was a child, everything I thought about seemed to be fulfilled one by one.
And the one who brought all this was the man who was now sitting up straight, waiting eagerly for his meal.
"Did you do it yourself?" Cheng Yuan didn't know what Guo Xiaolian was thinking, he asked with a smile, he had eaten some light things in the morning, and he was already hungry.
Guo Xiaolian nodded, took out the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice, and said, "Yes, Sister Zheng asked me to take care of you for more than a few days, the company's affairs are basically on the right track, and there is no need to keep an eye on it." So I'll have time to cook for you, can I try it?" he said, handing the rice and chopsticks to Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan took the dishes and chopsticks with a smile, and then tasted Guo Xiaolian's craftsmanship without eating. Guo Xiaolian's craftsmanship is not very good, Cheng Yuan used to eat often, after all, the situation of the two families is the same, both parents are workers in the electronics factory, and it is impossible to go home to cook at noon.
Therefore, in the past, Cheng Yuan and his sister Cheng Xin basically ate Guo Xiaolian's cooking, after all, the three of them bought vegetables and cooked by themselves, which saved a lot of money than eating outside.
At this time, she didn't mind the taste of Guo Xiaolian's food, although her craftsmanship was not as good as that of typing, but the familiar taste in the dish made him appetite.
Quickly solving the meal, Cheng Yuan wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and asked, "How is the establishment of the company's research institute, and has the recruitment of researchers started?"
"How can it be so fast, you just gave orders, the engineering team has to recruit more people, and then choose the address according to the drawings you gave, road repair, and foundation materials, etc., it takes time, not a day or two to solve. Guo Xiaolian rolled her eyes at Cheng Yuan while packing up her things.
"That's right. Cheng Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, he knew that he was a little anxious.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the company first, I'll help you urge you about engineering, but you can rest assured about personnel recruitment. After the company released the job posting, thousands of people came to apply, but many did not meet the requirements. Sister Zheng has already selected a group of people according to your requirements, but you still need to appear in person for the formal review. ”
Lifting the thermos pot, Guo Xiaolian said with relief: "So, you can rest assured to recuperate and take care of your body as soon as possible, so that our company's research department can be officially established." ”
Hearing Guo Xiaolian's words, Cheng Yuan was speechless, he also wanted to get out of the hospital, but who knows if the extraction of scientific and technological knowledge again will be the same as this fever, there will be an outbreak, just in case, before extracting the technology, he can only live in the hospital and wait quietly.
