Chapter 35: Genes

Chapter 35 Genes

"What do you guys think?" Reed's voice fell, but no one answered him, Victor and Ben sat on the stool, looking dazed, they looked at the excited Reed, and didn't understand what was going on at all, although Emma next to Victor knew a little, but she was also a half-ass, and the real reliability was Reed and Susan's words, after all, both of them have doctorates in genetics and are genetics authorities.

Reed also knows this, so his eyes are mainly on Susan, hoping to get Susan's approval. Susan leaned her back against the table, her face full of incredulity, she wanted to open her mouth but didn't know how to describe what she had just seen.

Under everyone's gaze, she could only express the doubts in her heart: "I... I don't understand, Victor's genes are exactly the same as those of normal humans, those introns seem to be completely activated, and they are constantly transcribing proteins, which is simply unreasonable. ”

"It's not just that, Susan." After receiving Susan's response, Reed said with some excitement, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Victor, "I also have the useless gene sequences in these introns completely removed, which means that we can encode the genes in Victor's body at will." ”

"Are you crazy?" Reed's words made Susan frown, "That's too dangerous, you don't know if those genetic sequences are good for Victor's body." ”

"I know." Reed nodded nonchalantly, "So, I didn't mean to prepare these realities, what I care about is whether he can do anything to Ben's body." And, because of the introns, the danger has been minimized. ”

Seeing that Reed was about to continue, Victor hurriedly asked them to stop.

"Hey...... Guys, wait, what are you talking about, can you explain it more plainly? "Victor listened to it and kept hearing what introns, what gene sequences, what genes encoded, he didn't understand at all.

"Absolutely." Reed also understood that not all the people here understood what they were talking about, so he explained simply: "You should know that there are twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in human body cells, and they control people's every qiΔ“, including gender, appearance, personality, and your preferences. But not all DNA strands in chromosomes possess genetic factors, they are generally divided into two types, one is introns and the other is exons, in which introns ......"

"I know that." Reid seemed to have recovered from his old illness again, and began to popularize scientific knowledge to Victor like a college professor, which made Victor a little dizzy, and he could only say to Reed: "To put it simply, okay, Reed, I'm not a top student at New York University." ”。

"Uh...... All right. Reed looked around, and both Xianben and Emma looked dazed, so they had to say simply: "To put it simply, in the human gene sequence, not all gene sequences contain useful genetic factors, and most of the DNA in the human gene sequence is junk DNA. The genes in these junk DNA don't do anything for you. ”

"The junk DNA is called introns, and the useful DNA is called exons. Exons can be transcribed into proteins in the process of protein biosynthesis, that is, they give you power, give you knowledge, give you your whole body, and your every qiΔ“ is controlled by them. In humans, exons account for less than 1.5% of the entire human genetic sequence. ”

"And now in your body, those introns seem to be completely activated by the coronal storm, and they start to transcribe DNA like exons, which is why you feel that you have become stronger in all aspects of your body, including stamina, body, agility, and all five senses."

"That's cool!" After listening to Reed's description, Victor seemed to understand a little, and he said in his own words: "That is to say, those guys in my body who originally only ate and did not work, began to work. ”

"Uh... It can be understood so much! For such a crude explanation of Victor, Reed's face was full of black lines, and he could only continue to explain.

"The degree of DNA transcription protein in your body is countless times that of ordinary people, this specific number I need to study for a period of time, which leads to the acceleration of metabolism in your body, so that the cells in your body are more energetic, which is why you will regain your youth and have the ability to heal yourself, the division of cells in your body is very fast, which allows you to heal wounds quickly."

"And what kind of genetic sequence are you talking about, and what is the genetic code?" Victor then asked.

"Don't worry, I'm going to talk about it soon." Reed motioned for Victor to be quiet and listen carefully, and Reed was like a teacher who saw a student frantically raise his hand to ask questions.

"As I said earlier, introns are junk DNA, and they have little effect on human genetic inheritance, but the DNA gene sequence in introns is not empty, but has all kinds of strange genes that we humans don't know what they are used for. Many of these genes are genes that have lost function in the process of human evolution, and there are many repeats, pseudogenes, and so on......"

"But I'm here, the DNA sequences in these introns in your body, except for those that are particularly necessary, seem to have been removed, and in general, that is, the DNA in your body is very pure now."

"Does that make any sense?" Victor didn't understand.

"Of course." Reed looked like you didn't understand, and said loudly to Victor: "Now you are like a blank slate, because those introns have become exons and have the ability to transcribe proteins, and the introns are blank gene sequences, which means that if we encode your introns beneficially, then not only can we avoid damage to your normal DNA, but also allow you to evolve, such as ......"

Speaking of this, Reid was very excited, and he wanted to give some examples, he looked at Susan, as if remembering something, and said, "For example, if I transfer the part of Susan's body that represents the genes of his abilities into the introns of your body, then you can have Susan's abilities." ”

As soon as Reed's words fell, Susan's scolding voice was heard: "Don't talk nonsense, Reed. ”

With that, Susan turned her head to look at Victor and explained, "Don't listen to Reed's nonsense, it's just a theory, encoding DNA is a big project, and it's impossible to know for sure what the outcome will be." ”

"I understand." Victor nodded, but there was already a hint of surprise in his heart.

At this time, Ben couldn't help it, he opened his mouth and roared: "I don't care about the genetic code, I just want to know, can I change back to the way I was, damn it!" ”

"Of course, Ben...... Calm down. Reed nodded apologetically to Victor before continuing: "As I said earlier, many of Victor's gene sequences are blank, in order to make the gene of the blank sequence as it is, we can use the genes of these blank sequences to make a serum to replace the mutated genes in the body, so that I have a great deal of confidence that the gene will be the same." ”

"How sure are you?" Susan asked.

"Uh...... 9o%。 Reed thought for a moment and gave a very high number, which made Ben excited. Reed, who had only listened, continued: "But it will take a little time, as Susan said just now, encoding DNA is indeed a big project, and it will take us about a month to complete. ”

"No problem." Ben said excitedly, "I can wait...... Isn't it just a month? ”

"Hmm." Reed nodded, then looked at Susan, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, I still need Susan's help, you know, it's a big project......"

Reed's words fell, and everyone's eyes looked at him strangely, not knowing what the meaning of his words was, whether it was just a simple help, Ben even laughed knowingly.

Susan looked at Ben speechlessly, then at Reed's pleading eyes, and said with a helpless expression, "Okay, this is for Ben!"

Reed laughed very happily.

At this time, Victor suddenly secretly pressed Emma's shoulder, his eyes signaled, and then said to someone: "Maybe Emma can also help a little, she has also learned something about genetics." And, too, she can help me keep an eye on you, Reed, lest you do something I don't know about. ”

Emma listened to Victor's words, and looked at Victor strangely, although she was a little puzzled, but still said: "Yes, Victor is right, and besides, I plan to major in genetics when I am in college, and if I can be an assistant under the two doctors, I believe it will definitely benefit a lot." ”

"No problem." Reed didn't think much of it, he was glad that someone had helped him, and he didn't care at all about Victor's suspicions about him......

"Alright, guys, if it's all right, we'll be able to get to work right away. After all, the sooner we started, we could have recovered a day earlier. ”

With that, he led everyone to his thirty-third floor of the large number jΓΉ room, where there were all the numbers about the genetic map.

Victor and Emma walked at the back, he looked at the people in front of him, and then whispered in Emma's ear, "Help me get all the genetic coding information for Reed." ”

After speaking, ignoring Emma's surprised and puzzled expression, he yelled at the people in front of him, "I don't think I need to go, I can't understand it anyway." ”

"Okay." Reid nodded, feeling that what Victor said made sense.

Ben thought about it, and felt that with his huge body, going up might only cause trouble, so he stayed with Victor.

Victor kissed Emma on the forehead, and after his eyes signaled that she believed in him, he and Ben went back to the lounge on the thirty-second floor......
