Tsingbei University not only clarified, but also used the university's channels to give priority to the editor-in-chief of the journal Nature to review Yang Zhou's paper.

Well-known universities and journals actually cooperate, and even jointly run some sub-journals.

If you publish a paper in a top journal through the back door, it will definitely not work, after all, the paper is to be read by scholars all over the world, and it is easy to be found through the back door, and top journals generally do not do things with a bad reputation.

But it's still easier to just get a high-quality paper reviewed in advance.

In this way, Yang Zhou's paper was delivered to the editor-in-chief's mailbox on the same day, rather than the public mailbox.

After the editor-in-chief has a rough look, he immediately contacts the editorial board to find a reviewer to review the manuscript.

Editas Medicine, Zhang Feng is accompanying the researchers to do a special experiment, which is a new direction discovered after the last review.

A graduate student at Qingbei University in Huaguo accidentally discovered the size switch and color switch of carrot genes.

It also uses his patented Cas9 technology.

A few days ago, after he saw the paper, he immediately realized the great value of the paper, and Zhang Feng decided to delay the publication of the paper after thinking about it for a long time.

There are several obvious loopholes in the paper, which happen to be the reason for his doubt.

His original intention was to ask Yang Zhou to make supplementary revisions after the journal Chemistry-Biology rejected the manuscript, so that Yang Zhou might need to come up with more data after several back and forth.

To come up with more data, you have to plant turnips for a few more months.

At this time, he had enough time, not to grab Yang Zhou's carrot size research paper, but Zhang Feng was keenly aware that there was more behind the control of size and color.

The carrot essay pattern is too small, and Zhang Feng also noticed that behind Yang Zhou's abnormal success rate, there were things he usually ignored.

Moreover, Yang Zhou is still from Qingbei University, and the student surnamed Lin back then made him not have a good impression of Qingbei University.

It's just that what Zhang Feng didn't expect was that there were some problems in the intermediate transmission of the news, which led to the journal "Chemistry-Biology" directly choosing to reject the manuscript without letting Yang Zhou revise it again.

Yang Zhou did not submit to Chemistry-Biology at all, but revised the paper and submitted it to the journal Nature.

It is not so easy for Zhang Feng to be listed in a journal of this level, but when he realized Cas9 technology, he was listed in a top journal.

In this field, Zhang Feng holds patents, but he is not the most powerful person.

There are many scientists who have developed Zhang's technology and found that there are three types of Cas9, and the second one has been studied in depth.

Zhang Feng urgently needs to regain his top and discover some scientific research results that have shocked the world.

The editorial board of Nature is much stronger than that of Chemistry-Biology, and they are looking for no reviewers at all, so when Zhang Feng is trying to speed up the pace of Yang's experiment, Yang's paper has already appeared in the mailbox of Stanford University scientist Carl D'Exeros.

De Sairos is an expert in genetics and almost won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Medical Physiology.

The Cas9 technology is only used on carrots, and Yang Zhou's focus is still on DNA, so the editorial board did not invite Zhang Feng to review the manuscript.

In addition to Dexeros, there was Hegerman, who identified the protein ChR2 (Channelrhodopsin-2);

Even because the paper is from Asia, the editorial board also selected an Asian scientist to review the paper.

This Asian is Professor Toshi Mori from Kyoto University in the country of Foot Basin.

Kazutoshi Mori's main achievement was the detection of the unique proteins present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the discovery of the repair mechanism of these proteins on his own.

The editorial board felt that this should be related to the high success rate of the technology used by Yang Zhou.

The editorial board selected people for a very good reason, Yang Zhou's paper focuses on the theory of gene code, which is also related to proteins, and Yang Zhou's research can also bring inspiration to these experts.

Even let these big bulls devote themselves to the field of genetic code research.

In this way, Yang Zhou is really the ancestor of the founding of the sect in the academic world, and Nature's favorite is this kind of paper.

Because, there will be countless scientists who cite this paper and conduct their own research.

At Kyoto University, Kazutoshi Mori returned to the office from the lab to deal with the mail, and suddenly saw a new email from the journal mailbox that had been specially reminded.

Kazutoshi Mori is a guest reviewer for many journals, but of course he values the top three journals the most.

This time, the journal Nature invited reviewers, and Mori Kazujun immediately put down all the work at hand and concentrated on reviewing the manuscript.

"It turned out to be the author of Huaguo, and Qingbei University has achieved more and more results over the years." Mori Kazutoshi sighed as he looked at the title outline.

In the global university rankings, Kyoto University used to be ranked ahead of Tsing Pak University and Mizuki University, which is at least seventy or eighty outside the university, which is the best university in China, but it is not as good as Hong Kong Island University.

However, in recent years, Qingbei University and Shuimu University have made continuous scientific research achievements and become more and more influential, and the global ranking has even rushed to 17 or 18, while Jingdong University is still stuck at 23rd, which has been surpassed by China's top universities.

As for the top few universities, they are all universities in beautiful countries and maple leaf countries, such as Massachusetts, Oxford, Stanford, Cambridge, Harvard, Caltech, etc.

Being surpassed by Huaguo University, Sen Hejun was actually very unconvinced, and with this emotion, Sen Hejun began to check the thesis of Yang Zhou, a graduate student from Qingbei University.

"The association of the genetic code system with carrots? It's a sensationalist title again, so naturally forwarding it to me, is it for me to criticize it fiercely? Mori Kazujun thought with a smile.

The feud between Huaguo and Footbasin is well-known all over the world, and Mori Kazujun even thanked the editorial board of Nature a little bit for giving him the opportunity to criticize Qingbei University.

It's just that as the paper reads, Mori Kazutoshi's face becomes more and more serious.

His brow furrowed, and his eyes widened, as if he had seen something terrified.

"Unbelievable! Huaguo actually gave birth to such a genius! Not only did the carrot gene system be constructed, but also according to this system, the results were obtained, super large carrots, colorful carrots? Is there still a super-large watermelon and super-large rice in the future! No, I'm going to China, this technology is so important! Mori Kazutoshi exclaimed.

Sen Kazujun naturally has no other opinions on this paper, and it is almost impossible for him to find mistakes against his conscience.

There are too many black technology mentioned in the paper.

Even the genetic code is not the most central thing, and the time-accelerated nutrient solution is only a short sentence in the paper, but it is more scary to think about.

On the contrary, the content of the carrot size and color paper, which occupies most of the space, is not so important.

Along with Mori and Jun, there were several other reviewers who immediately agreed with the paper, saying that the journal Nature could be published immediately.

At the same time, they are also asking if Qingbei University should hold a thesis lecture.

Like the Huaguo academicians last night, they also have too many questions in their hearts that they hope to be answered by Yang Zhou.
