Chapter 727: Genomics

Standing on the podium of a classroom that can accommodate nearly 100 people, Yang Rui is a little unaccustomed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The class bell had not yet rang, however, there was no noise in the classroom, not even the sound of whispering, and no students jumped up to question Yang Rui's teaching qualifications...... This made Yang Rui, who had made sufficient preparations, very unaccustomed.

I think about back then, when he was a tutor, what kind of students had not seen it, the nose of the good grades was up, the expression of the teacher asking you to impress me, the eyes of the bad grades were up, the expression of the teacher I disdained to read and could mix well, the corners of the mouth with medium grades facing up, the expression of the teacher that you did not teach well made my IQ not match the score.

However, the students of the 80s have clearly not yet awakened to this level of self-consciousness, or rather, their parents and society have not yet awakened to this time.

It's just a little too well-behaved.

Yang Rui compared the students of Tsinghua University and Peking University, and could not help but have a slight understanding of the so-called cradle of red engineers at Tsinghua University.

The bell rings.

Yang Rui readjusted his standing posture and said, "Start class now." ”

After that, he didn't introduce himself like a normal teacher, but immediately began the formal course and said, "I want to name my course 'Genomics.'" ”

Then he said the word "genomics" in English and quickly got up and running.

Several Tsinghua professors sitting at the back of the classroom couldn't help but look stunned.

The reason is simple, they have never heard the Chinese word genomics, let alone the English word genomics.

Of course, they will soon hear about it.

By 86 years, the second-order bull Thomas will formally put forward the concept of genomics, and the Nobel laureate Duerbeck, who is ready to be nominated for the Yang Rui Nobel Prize, based on genomics and with the goal of conquering cancer, persuaded the U.S. Congress to officially launch the Human Genome Project.

Of course, cancer has not been conquered 30 years later, but this kind of trivial thing is too common in the eyes of scholars who have received funding.

However, genomics and the Human Genome Project, while closely related, are not the same concept.

Figuratively speaking, the Human Genome Project is like the Manhattan Project, it is a purposeful project, sequencing all the base pairs of the human body, or creating an atomic bomb, and the goal is achieved, and the project is over.

Genomics is a discipline, just as nuclear science is a branch of physics, but it is not inferior in importance to basic physics, genomics is also a branch of biology, but it is not inferior in importance.

By the time Yang Rui was studying, genomics had penetrated into every corner of biology and had become an important discipline that could not be bypassed.

Of course, as a discipline, it was not born suddenly in '86, and before it was born, countless scholars had dedicated their youth to it.

After Yang Rui proposed the name, he quietly started from the beginning.

The professors, who were sitting at the back of the classroom, had no choice but to listen quietly.

If this were a young man from this school, the professors would definitely stand up and object: What are you talking about?

But with Yang Rui, no one dared to speak casually.

The so-called "shadow of the famous tree of people", Yang Rui's paper published in "Cell", has been cited more than 2,000 times so far, a figure that is like a movie box office breaking 200 million US dollars - in the industry, this is the patent of the legendary cattle.

Why Yang Rui can sit in the position of the head of the ion channel laboratory, no one doubts? Because Yang Rui's contribution to ion channels is world-class, to put it mildly, all scholars in the field of ion channels have been taught by Yang Rui to be human.

Up to 84 years ago, almost all major discoveries in the field of ion channels have been made on the basis of Yang Rui's papers. 2000 citations are accumulated in this way.

Therefore, even if Yang Rui became the head of the ion channel laboratory as a student, including the academic circles of Peking University and even various universities in Beijing, there was no reaction.

I really don't dare, looking at so many big bulls in the field, in the papers published in top papers, respectfully thank Ruiyang for his contributions, looking at the references behind the papers that are not good, the first one says Ruiyang, who dares to question Yang Rui's authority in ion channels?

PCR is even more powerful.

The original version of the PCR claims to be the most cited paper in the world. To put it mildly, the Nobel Prize cannot ignore the tens of thousands of citations created by the PCR in just a few years, and had to be awarded to the inventor of the PCR.

After Yang Rui's revised version of PCR, it is even more powerful, and now it is only a few months before publication, and there are dozens of world-class laboratories using PCR technology.

Moreover, even if you don't understand what PCR is all about, it's time to wake up when you look at the Nobel Prize nominations.

In the era when you can wait to evaluate academicians to make a leading achievement in China, Yang Rui's two outstanding achievements have long been regarded by domestic scholars.

Such Yang Rui, if it weren't for the status of a student at Peking University, even if he was only 18 years old, Tsinghua would have to provide him up.

That is, his identity as a Peking University student was embarrassing, so Tsinghua put him here to take a big class.

Despite this, no professor dared to question Yang Rui rashly.

Even if you have doubts right now, you have to go back and figure it out slowly, and ask each other before questioning it.

To be realistic, if you question Yang Rui's paper, you can at least post a SCI impact factor 3. 0 articles, you can't question it in vain in class.

The professors took quick notes as they thought.

The students at the bottom did not know that they were witnessing the creation of a new discipline, so they obediently took notes, listened to the lectures, and followed Yang Rui's train of thought......

Yang Rui also slowly unfolded the expression in a way that ordinary students could understand, so that the genomics system, like a picture scroll, slowly revealed its feet.

He is indeed qualified to speak about this lesson.

Since the establishment of the laboratory, Yang Rui has consciously approached genomics. When he first arrived at Peking University, Yang Rui was recruited by associate professor Wang Zhongzhiwen, who used genomics to prevaricate the past, and later he entered the Tang Centralized Laboratory, and the first experiment he carried out was in the direction of functional genomics.

Functional genomics is the initial stage of genomics, and it is also a relatively mature field at present.

At present, in the ion channel laboratory, Xu Zhengping's research on interaction proteins and other aspects is part of it.

It can be said that Yang Rui has been preparing for genomics for more than a year.

This is not a long time for an ordinary project area, but it is not a short time for an emerging field.

What's more, Yang Rui's speed of results is too fast.

If you search for articles that he has published, most of them are in genomics. In fact, he is currently working on four major areas of research: coenzyme Q10, potassium channels and PCR, and genomics.

Among them, coenzyme Q10 and PCR are profitable researches, which have long been placed in the laboratory by Yang Rui.

In the ion channel laboratory, Yang Rui's work is potassium ion channels and genomics. Although the former costs a lot of money, in terms of time commitment, it is not as much as genomics.

After all, ion channel research is also expensive in very expensive biological research, when he did potassium ion channel, he used 600,000 US dollars, although it is not a loss to exchange for a cell, but in terms of the domestic situation, such research is difficult to sustain.

Genomics is naturally not cheap, but it has even more potential for development.

Yang Rui aims at the Human Genome Project, and his understanding of genomics is even deeper.

Even deeper than Toms, the originator of genomics.

A class is fleeting, and the students below do not realize that there is anything special - the freshmen who have just entered the school have not learned all the major courses, and they have no understanding of biology.

The professors at the bottom of the lecture felt a little different.

No one can find the mistakes in Yang Rui's course, but they can't talk about liking, and the slightly novel theories always make the brain instinctively resist.

However, most of the people present still decided to come back to listen to Yang Rui's big lecture in a few days.
