Chapter 357: Fruit Flies
"Fruit flies, what's so strange?" Assistant Teacher Liu also called, a little weak-hearted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sinovel also uses guinea pigs in its lab, which was relayed to Richard by Assistant Professor Liu.
Xu Anqing didn't know what to do, and followed: "If we continue to study, choose a mouse or a fruit fly?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes focused on Richard's face again.
Richard's face was cloudy, and after a while, he said, "Next, we'll also use fruit flies." ”
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others sighed secretly.
The sigh is because the following experiment with fruit flies actually means that the work in front of Richard's lab is basically in vain. Of course, this experience can still be retained after training the team. But other than that, the hard work of the past few months has not accumulated much, and the rhetoric that Richard has just said is just an encouraging lie.
Fruit flies and mice are not even the same species, and animals that can't fall in love with each other have much in common.
Those who are relieved are not confident enough and are afraid of people who are in the wrong direction. Cloning the mutant gene of potassium ion channel to determine the function of potassium ion is a new research method, and it has not been done before, or has not been done successfully. Richard Labs has been doing it with mice for so long without making results, and the conditions of Sinovel Labs are not particularly good, but it has done it, and the progress is significantly faster than that of Richard Labs, which makes people wonder, could it be that fruit flies are particularly easy to do, or mice are particularly difficult to do?
In the face of objective facts, there is no question of why Yang Rui and others are doing it so quickly.
Justifying those who succeed is the preserve of historians.
Xu Anqing lowered his head, and suddenly felt a suppressed pain in his heart. Pain comes from the fact that one's hard work is not rewarded, pain comes from one's own efforts that cannot change reality, and pain comes from an illusory future.
"We don't have an accumulation on fruit flies, it's going to be slow to start, and if we can, it's better to start working right away. Connors made a suggestion in English, which Richard immediately accepted.
Xu Anqing finished reading the paper, listened to Richard's speech again, and went back to work silently.
The atmosphere in Richard's laboratory also became extremely tense.
The reality is not as Richard suggests, they are on the same starting line as Sinovel Labs. The reality is that Yang Rui already has a considerable understanding of the genes related to fruit flies, while the researchers in Richard's laboratory have to put down the familiar mouse genes and learn about the fruit fly genes instead.
If you look at the literature, it is equivalent to reading hundreds of more papers.
Although not everyone has this kind of workload, even if it is reduced tenfold, skimming nearly 100 papers per person, and accurately reading 20 papers, it will take several days.
Moreover, unlike the usual comprehension reading, the researchers of the relevant research must complete the reading before doing the experiment, and the time used up is solid.
The most important thing is that Yang Rui's Huarui laboratory has already obtained mutated cells, while Richard's laboratory has to use time to reproduce the experiment to obtain mutant cells, and the time required here is almost no different from the time spent by Yang Rui in the early stage.
Suffice it to say, Richard's experiment was at least a month behind.
Unfortunately, Richard had no choice.
The laboratory he cooperated with Peking University was established for this purpose, and he paid in the early stage and did not talk about it, but now he has withdrawn and left, and Richard's reputation has been lost.
Of course, the most important thing is that Richard is still reluctant to give up, he still has a chance.
Yang Rui has only achieved phased results, and the next steps will only be more difficult and time-consuming.
Richard felt that he was a month behind the progress and could still catch up.
At the end of the meeting, everyone in the laboratory spun around like worker bees.
At the same time, there was laughter and laughter in the Sinovel laboratory.
Jielikang delivered a big cake, and Li Zhangzheng, the Hong Kong manager of Sinovel Company, bought boxes of beer and liquor, and ordered Donglaishun to take away.
In the open space of the courtyard, three copper pots were laid out, and sliced meat, mushrooms, cabbage and other things were placed around them, and everyone who ate them was sweating and was addicted.
In the afternoon, Trapp, the chief technology officer of JieliZeneca in China, also came from Tianjin, drank two sips of wine with Yang Rui, and said regretfully: "I originally suggested that JieliZeneca take a stake in Huarui Laboratory, but it was not approved, and now, they are probably regretting it." ”
"At the current level of research, it is not patentable. Yang Rui was not carried away by Trapp's words.
Trapp shook his head and said, "Not now, it will be done right away, and it will be an extremely popular patent." ”
"I hope so. ”
"It would have been much more convenient if we had bought a stake in the first place and then bought the patent. Trapp brought it up again.
Yang Rui smiled and didn't answer.
Yang Rui owns 100% of the shares in Sinovel Company, and Sinovel Laboratory belongs to 100% of Sinovel Company, so the achievements of Sinovel Laboratory completely belong to Yang Rui.
Compared to the knowledge that Yang Rui can find from his brain, the current Huarui laboratory is seriously underestimated, so even if Trapp persuades Jielizen's top management to take a stake, he will not agree.
However, Trapp didn't need to know these things, so Yang Rui just accompanied Trapp to drink.
The celebration lasted from lunch to dinner, and as the researchers left one after another, Huang Mao unexpectedly returned to the lab, and now was the time of great excitement and did not want to go back to rest.
Yang Rui went back and slept with peace of mind, and only came over the next day to give guidance - because his experimental ability was not as good as Wang Ying's, nor was he as good as Huang Mao, who came back from training in the United States, Yang Rui's work in the laboratory became more and more like a boss.
Many senior researchers, especially professors and researchers, are often overseers when they stay in the laboratory, and do not necessarily conduct experiments themselves.
On the one hand, not everyone can complete experiments accurately and quickly, and on the other hand, lab owners often need to solve problems of direction and method, rather than specific experiments.
In the past, Yang Rui did small-scale scientific research, rather than explaining his own needs, it was better to do it himself, but in medium and large-scale scientific research projects such as potassium channels, scientific research practice has become difficult, and field operation is no longer a decisive factor, and Yang Rui has naturally changed from a pure first-line researcher to a quasi-first-line experimenter
The advantage of this is obvious, the number of experiments that Yang Rui has to do in person is reduced, and the number of groups he has time to follow has increased.
Of course, there will be more coordination work, but for Yang Rui now, it is quite a simple job.
