Chapter 351: Secrecy
When the salt-and-pepper steamed pork ribs were served, Zhu Jiahao had already finished a bowl of rice with a surging momentum. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Rui also ate a big bowl full of rice, in this era of no computer, no TV show, and no paperless office, the daily consumption of each person is not small, of course, it is also very important to taste good.
"Another bowl?" Yang Rui didn't wait for Zhu Jiahao to answer, and took the initiative to serve him another bowl of rice.
Zhu Jiahao smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't eat breakfast ......"
"It's okay, we eat casually at the institute, we eat whatever we want, and we can eat whenever we want. Yang Rui also added a bowl of rice to himself, and then gave Zhu Jiahao a piece of ribs, and said: "Everyone works very hard to do experiments, sometimes when an experiment is done, the meal is missed, you can't punish people who work hard, don't you say?"
Zhu Jiahao nodded again and again, and said, "We also put some things in the laboratory, such as bread steamed buns or something, for people who missed the restaurant, and there will be no stir-frying." ”
"That's because Richard is a foreigner, they feel comfortable eating butter bread, and we Chinese are still used to eating some stir-fried vegetables, eating some rice and noodles, right?"
"Yes, that's right, I often want to eat some staple food, and I end up with bread left. At first, I thought the bread was quite fresh, but I didn't want to eat it after eating it twice. "The treatment in Richard's lab is still quite good, especially the material conditions, Peking University provides what it needs as much as possible, and Richard also subsidizes other researchers and interns with the funds of the University of California, which is one of the reasons why everyone, including Assistant Professor Liu, can work more than 12 hours a day.
Yang Rui dialed the remaining mapo tofu into his own bowl, and dialed the remaining small fried meat into Zhu Jiahao's bowl, and said with a smile: "Foreigners' work habits are different from us Chinese, doing things under foreigners, there are many places that are not used to it, I have this feeling when I contact with the people of Jielikang, they are very serious in some places, to the point of nitpicking, and in some places they are lax, which makes people unaccustomed to it." ”
"Yes, yes, Richard's student, Connors, kept insisting on the guinea pig being clean or something, and then he stinked himself. Zhu Jiahao laughed as he spoke.
Yang Rui also smiled and said: "You can't blame him for this, our bathing equipment is backward, and foreigners have a heavy body odor, so not taking a bath is the result." ”
"He stinks a lot, and he is often idle, and we don't like to do hygiene. "Zhu Jiahao is a straight intestine, and if he has any dissatisfaction with his classmates, he will say it directly, but it is not easy for him to communicate with foreigners in English, and it is naturally far from enough to complain, so he has accumulated it all.
Yang Rui seemed to be a confidant brother, his tone slowed down, and guided Zhu Jiahao to speak with confidence.
This is the skill he learned after being a cram school, although the cram school is a little rougher, but it is also necessary to understand the mental state of the students, especially after starting their own business to do a cram school, they have to regulate the behavior of students in the cram school, in the face of the bear children in the 21st century, the skills of chatting are quite important.
Zhu Jiahao first felt that Yang Rui's voice was kind. Today's primary and secondary school teachers are all filial piety under the stick, and occasionally they are kind, and the students are moved by the heart. Zhu Jiahao has many brothers and sisters in his family, and his parents don't have the time and energy to talk to him softly, Yang Rui's voice is full of magnetism, like a baritone, and under the temptation, it immediately makes Zhu Jiahao feel that chatting is a pleasant thing.
Yang Rui asked about the mice again, Zhu Jiahao knew everything, from his feeling, it was too normal to use mice for biological experiments, Yang Rui said this to him, but it made Zhu Jiahao relaxed.
In fact, when Yang Rui was sure that there were only mice in Richard's laboratory, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time discussed them more with Zhu Jiahao until Zhu Jiahao had nothing to say.
Cloning the mutant gene of the potassium channel needs to induce the mutation of the biological gene. As far as Yang Rui knows, the simplest and fastest way is actually fruit flies.
Drosophila is a commonly used experimental material in genetics, and there are many genes screened out by Drosophila, such as the genes in charge of cone cells, the genes that regulate biological rhythms, the genes that determine the concept of time, and the genes of the leg-shakers discovered later - when the genes of the shakers are mutated, the small legs of the flies under ether anesthesia will keep shaking, and this is precisely because the genes of the shakers control the potassium ion channels of the cells, and the potassium ion channels are closely related to the activity of nerve cells.
Of course, although the fruit fly is a good material for studying genetics, and it is also one of the most thoroughly studied organisms by humans, however, the fruit fly is not the only experimental material for studying genetics, so it is very normal for Richard to use the common and classic mice.
However, compared to the reproduction rate of fruit flies, it must take more time to screen out the mutated gene from mice.
In the papers that made potassium channels in later generations, there were fruit flies, mice, and plants and other mammals, and different organisms were used to screen and obtain different results, and some results were also quite important. However, none of these conclusions are as important as the first paper to use the cloning mutant gene method to determine the nature of potassium channels.
Because the same method can also be used for sodium ion channels, calcium ion channels, and even other subsequent genetic analysis methods.
Such a paper is destined to get a lot of citations. Because researchers who use this method to do calcium ion channels and sodium ion channels always have to cite articles to prove the correctness of their methods.
And a large number of citations means popularity in the scientific community. In the case that each researcher has to read hundreds of papers to do an experiment on average, a paper with 10 citations has been read by at least thousands of researchers, and a paper with 30 citations can be said to be well-known in the field.
Yang Rui's pursuit of nature was the first paper, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been interested in doing this experiment.
In fact, Richard is the same, a dignified professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who gave up the favorable experimental environment in the United States and came to China to set up a laboratory.
When such a paper was published, Richard felt that it was not a problem to become a tenured professor.
Obviously, the difficulty of being able to do a high-end paper with a kick in the door is also like a shot in the penalty area, and you have to consider not only the time and competitors, but also the angle and strength.
In experiments with mice, the force is definitely sufficient, and it can also be relatively easy to prove the effect of potassium ion channels.
However, the angle of inducing genetic mutations in mice is not easy to choose.
Yang Rui intentionally or unintentionally said something about the guinea pig experiment, this time, he was sure that it was all the same old tune of knowledge, but Zhu Jiahao listened very seriously.
He naturally thought that Yang Rui must also be experimenting with mice.
Holding the tea after the meal, Zhu Jiahao couldn't help but fall into a tangle: if he confessed to Richard and Pan, although he might get Richard's praise and maybe get a bonus, this kind of behavior was not liked by Zhu Jiahao himself.
However, if he didn't say it, Zhu Jiahao felt ashamed of his job, after all, he was an intern in Richard's laboratory, and the intern was also a member of the laboratory.
"Well, I have to go. Zhu Jiahao's entanglement was almost written on his face, and he was afraid that Yang Rui would not understand, and said: "I'm going back to work in Richard's laboratory, and it will be very troublesome for Richard to ask." ”
"Go back now? We have a car to pick up and drop off the school and the city in the evening. "The car used by Yang Rui is still the car of Jielikang. It is convenient for foreign-owned enterprises to get a car license, while it is troublesome for private individuals to buy a vehicle.
Zhu Jiahao was even more embarrassed, and even said no, "I came by bicycle, so it's better to go back by car." ”
"The bike was left here and it was okay to pick it up next time. ”
"No need, I've eaten so much, I have the strength, I'm leaving, goodbye. Zhu Jiahao didn't know what else he could say if he stayed, he didn't want to hear about Huarui anymore, and he couldn't tell the secrets of Richard's laboratory. Although he said some news about Richard's laboratory, in Zhu Jiahao's opinion, those were already known to Yang Rui, so it didn't seem to be a secret.
Riding the bicycle, Zhu Jiahao secretly decided that unless he was asked, he would not have been to Sinovel Laboratory.
