Chapter 7 Limitations of "Sequencing".

You know, Ai Gan's genome is the genome of a human being before he died.

This means that in his genome, the gene-coding region is composed of exons and introns.

When transcription is performed, the introns are selectively sheared out, and only the genetic information of the exons is copied, which is then translated, producing proteins.

Of course, introns that are not sheared out are also counted as exons in this process.

As a result, when protein information is reverse-transcribed into genetic information, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the connection to the genome.

For example, when the transcription is done again, the reverse transcription of the gene still contains introns that were not pruned during the previous transcription, and it is possible that it will be excised during this transcription, resulting in another protein after translation instead of the protein that was originally needed.

Another example is gene inactivation, low or even no expression of proteins.

and so on, all of which may occur in the selective expression of genes.

Therefore, when Ai Gan obtained the lysosomes of Wanlysosome, he did not immediately obtain their genetic information and connect it into the genome by reverse transcription.

I want to wait a little longer and see if there is a better way to get genetic information.

Reverse transcription is an alternative.

Commonly known as spare tire.

Therefore, it was said before that with reverse transcriptase, he would have the confidence, rather than the confidence to build super cells.

The construction of super cells is also the main reason why Ai Gan did not divide cells immediately.

Because if you divide the cells now, your own cells are not good enough, and the new cells will only be a bunch of ordinary goods, which is not enough for Ai Qian to have super potential after recovering as an adult.

So Ai Gan is not going to divide cells right now.

It continues to exist in the form of a single cell.

It is gratifying that the emergence of "sequencing" has completely solved the problem of obtaining genetic information and strengthened confidence in the construction of super cells.

According to the information displayed on the information interface, it seems that "sequencing" can directly scan and analyze the genome of the organism to obtain the information of the desired gene.

Then, through "modification" and "concatenation", the obtained genetic information can be transformed into genes and connected to their own genomes.

Think about it, tall people have tall genes, as long as you use "sequencing" scanning and analysis of tall people, you can get tall genes, and when the time comes, they will be connected to their own genomes, as long as they ensure that the nutrition is sufficient and balanced during the growth process, are you still afraid of growing taller?

Thinking like this, Ai Gan became more and more excited.

That's amazing!

Of course, whether this is the case or not has to be verified.

So, Ai Qian began to test the "sequencing".

At the moment, there is no encounter with life, only some material structures that are about to form life, so the test subjects are mainly those that contain genetic material such as plasmids or nucleoids.

Subsequently, he drifted all the way and encountered objects that could be tested, and Ai Qian used "sequencing" to test them.

Then, the blank space of consciousness reveals the genetic information of various organisms.

"The cyanobacterial genome was detected, which contained a gene for the start site of replication, a phycocyanin pigment gene......

Streptomyces plasmid was detected, which contained the excision enzyme gene XIS, the integrase gene int, and the streptomycin resistance gene......

Chromobacterium was detected, which contained luciferase genes, reductin genes, ......

Vibrio phosphorescent ...... detected"

A series of tests have proved that in the structure of matter that has not yet formed life, "sequencing" is indeed like the information displayed in the information interface.

As long as he wants a certain functional structure gene of the material structure he sees, he can obtain the genetic information of that functional structure through "sequencing".

The only pity is that life has not yet been encountered, so it is not yet certain whether "sequencing" is the same as the structure of material containing genetic material.

In the days that followed, Ai Gan continued to use "sequencing" on the material structures containing genetic material, and did not let any of them go.

After all, what if he misses one and there is exactly the awesome gene he wants?

Therefore, Ai Gan adheres to the all-round pragmatism of "I'd rather be tired a little more than let one go".

Of course, occasionally with a bad taste, Ai Gan will use the lysosomes to destroy some of the material structures that will form life.

This negative sense of accomplishment is quite dark.

Think about the formation of a life, how many molecular substances need to interact with each other over a long period of time before they can come together and form life.

As a result, he went on to destroy, so that the results of the painstaking efforts that would form the material structure of life would be lost in an instant.

(‵▽′)ψ

Maybe it's the discovery of conscience, maybe it's thinking about one's past life, maybe it's ......

In short, in addition to the darkness, Ai Gan decided not to engage in sabotage anymore.

Because it's no different from killing life.

The difference is simply that life is born and that is about to be born.

So, Ai Gan put down the butcher knife.

After all, life, except for accidents like his, is almost only once.

As long as it's gone, it means it's all over.

Not to mention the fact that these material structures have not yet formed life.

It's gone before it starts, so how can it be over?

Alas......

So—

(o ゚▽ ゚)o☆[Chicken soup for the soul!]

Living beings, look at the material structure destroyed by Ai Gan, and cherish it, life is not easy!

o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o

In the days that followed.

In order to make up for the damage he had done earlier, Ai Gan began to help some material structures that were about to form life to accelerate their transformation into life.

Therefore, in the days of wandering in the future, Ai Gan was surrounded by a lot of anger.

The most active of these is the Proteus that swims in the forefront.

Because of its periflagella, a motile structure, it is able to move autonomously, far ahead of single-celled organisms like Aigan, which cannot move on their own and can only drift with ocean currents.

In this regard, Ai Gan was still very greedy.

However, when he tried to obtain the flagellar structure gene of Proteus through "sequencing", he found that it could not be scanned and analyzed.

Because the void of consciousness does not show the biological genetic information of Proteus at all.

This made Ai Qian immediately realize that there may be certain limitations to "sequencing".

Then he remembered that "sequencing" had only been tested on the structure of matter, not on living organisms.

So, he hurriedly "sequenced" other single-celled organisms.

It turned out that like Proteus, "sequencing" was useless.

This means that "sequencing" cannot be used on living organisms.

(;′⌒`)

Alas, the heart is congested.

Subsequently.

After being hit, Ai Gan couldn't help but think, since it is not possible to live, can it be done if it is dead?

So, Ai Gan immediately did the relevant tests.

Of course, this would require the killing of life.

But this is not out of bad taste, but out of the need for research, just like doing molecular recombination experiments in a molecular laboratory, once in the living stage, it will be done on rats or monkeys and cause them to die.

Sometimes these sacrifices are inevitable for the sake of research.

(o´・ェ・`o)

Well, a bit of a sophistry.

Sin Sin Sin ......

Fortunately, the results are good, and "sequencing" can be used on dead lives.
