Chapter 498: Related Events (4)
"This is a brief report of the study, see for yourself!"
As he spoke, Li Guoxiang took out a document from the document bag he was carrying.
After Shen Guoli took it, he walked to the sofa and sat down to review.
He looked very closely.
While he was watching, the others were also very cooperative and did not continue to ask.
After being silent for about ten minutes, Shen Guoguo slowly put down the documents in his hand.
Seeing this, Tang Hongxi hurriedly asked, "Dr. Shen, how do you say it, has there been a reason for the mutation of the mutant creatures?" ”
With a deep sigh, Shen Guoguo nodded: "It should be said that I found it." ”
Hearing this, Tang Hongxi couldn't help but skip a beat: "Really? ”
There is no doubt that for Tang Hongxi, what he wants to know most now is the reason for the mutant creatures.
If this point is solved, then he can also figure out the reason for the change that happened to him.
Except for Tang Hongxi's accident, the rest of the people were also excited when they heard Shen Guoguo's answer.
Tang Hongxi asked urgently: "What is the reason?" What causes biological mutations? ”
"That's the reason...... raised his hand and shook the document in his hand, and Shen Guoguo replied: "According to what I said above, they found that the snake's gene has mutated through the study of the snakeskin tissue we brought back from Rio last time. ”
As expected, everyone present was calm when Shen Guoguo said such things.
In these years, if there is any abnormality, you say that if it is not related to genes, you are embarrassed to speak.
No one interjected, and everyone was waiting for Shen Guoguo's follow-up explanation.
"After comparison, it was found that the DNA of this mutant snake is a double-stranded gene."
"Double-stranded genes? What do you mean? Du Guolong frowned and asked.
Du Guolong doesn't quite understand this kind of professional vocabulary.
"Now, that's it, this is the normal genetic chain of snakes, but now one has been copied for some unknown reason." Spreading the document in his hand in front of everyone, Shen Guoguo pointed to one of the pictures and said.
When you look at the picture and speak, you must never simply dictate strongly.
Especially in this area of expertise.
"So what?" Tang Hongxi glanced at the drawings, and he asked rhetorically.
Shen Guoguo touched his chin and replied: "This gene chain has been duplicated into a double copy, which has already changed the internal structure of the organism, but the real beast attack human beings is still here.!! ”
His fingers moved again, and this time Shen Guoguo drew a circle on the drawing more clearly.
Everyone looked at the content of Shen Guoguo's circle selection, and Du Guolong was puzzled again: "Alas, old Shen, just say it directly, we are not professional when you give some of this, and we don't understand what it means." ”
Shen Guoli didn't care either, and Zhengse replied: "Let you see the location, it is the gene sequence, you can see that the color of the pattern on it is different from the color of the original gene chain sequence." ”
Nodding, the color of the pattern model is indeed a section, and the two gene strands are different.
"And what does that mean?" Tang Hongxi asked.
"This shows that there is an invisible gene in the duplicated gene chain, and this invisible gene should be the cause of animal mutation."
Hearing this, Shen Guoguo could probably understand what he wanted to express.
To put it simply, there are some modified gene sequences in mutant organisms.
However, Tang Hongxi didn't care about these, he just wanted to know: "Now that the cause of the beast mutation has been figured out, is there a change in the recovery method now?" ”
Tang Hongxi raised the question that everyone wanted to know.
The field became quiet.
The four looked at Shen Guoguo in unison.
Shen Guoguo can read the expectation from everyone's eyes.
He would have liked to have a solution for everyone, but the problem was ......
Looking at the documents on the table, Shen Guoguo did not reply for a long time.
Seeing Shen Guoguo's silent and sluggish appearance, Tang Hongxi's psychology was flooded with a bad premonition.
"Old Shen, what's the situation? You have something to say! Du Guolong urged.
Raising his face, Shen Guoguo sighed lightly, and then shook his head: "It is not difficult to find out the problem in the gene sequence, and it can be easily done with the analysis and comparison of existing technologies." But it is not so easy to eliminate this altered gene and return the mutant species to its normal state. ”
"Alas, you just said that you didn't come up with a reason." Du Guolong simply made a summary.
Although his words were a little ugly, this is the case, and the experiment report given by Li Guoxiang did not mention the solution.
"Is that so? Captain Li, didn't find a solution on the research side? ”
Unlike others, others present may be waiting for the Institute's follow-up research.
But in Tang Hongxi...... As a carrier of the mutant gene, he didn't have that much time to wait.
"Yes, not yet!" Li Guoxiang's answer may have dashed Tang Hongxi's last glimmer of hope.
He lowered his head and wiped his face, thinking that Li Guoxiang could bring 'good news' to his side by taking out the documents just in time, but the result was still cruel.
After adjusting, Tang Hongxi raised his face again and looked at the only professional on the field: "That old Shen, in your opinion, is it possible for us to restore this mutant gene sequence?" ”
It's about whether he can return to normal human life, ask this question, Tang Hongxi's heart couldn't help beating faster.
"Whether we can or not, whether we can first depend on whether we can decipher the structural features that produce the mutation sequence. If it can be cracked, then recovery is possible. Otherwise......" shook his head, Shen Guoguo did not continue.
"How are you going to crack it, and what can we do?" Tang Hongxi followed up.
"There is no way to say this, only to continue to analyze it through experiments."
"Damn! Old Shen, you're not talking nonsense. The key is when can it be studied and analyzed, and this matter is a shortcut or something? Du Guolong interjected.
Shen Guoguo smiled helplessly after hearing this, of course he understood what Du Guolong meant.
He also wants to find a solution as soon as possible, but science must be down-to-earth, and it is obviously unreliable to expect to take shortcuts.
But what...... After thinking about it, Shen Guoguo still replied: "There is no shortcut, but the probability of achieving it is very low." ”
Hearing this, Tang Hongxi's eyes lit up.
His eyes, which were already dim, seemed to see the dawn of hope again.
"What to do, Dr. Shen? You said! Say it quickly! ”
Can't wait to ask.
Shen Guoguo was also stunned by the young man's anxiety.
Although his own investigation is related to the future and fate of mankind, Tang Hongxi's anxiety seems to be a little ......
"If we can find the source of the mutation, we can quickly crack the invisible genetic code and find a solution."
"So where should I find this source, I mean, to catch some kind of animal or something?"
I've never eaten pork, but I've definitely seen a pig run.
Although Tang Hongxi is not an expert in biology, he doesn't quite understand what Shen Guoguo wants to express, but relevant TV and film dramas have relevant expressions, so Tang Hongxi should reply.
