Chapter 137 The Time When Humanity Exerts God’s Authority!
Looking at the test tube labeled "First Generation Gene Enhancement Agent" in his hand, Lin Feng said with emotion:
"The experience value has been reduced from 6600 million to 5300 million. It seems that the breakthrough in the previous technology will lead to a significant reduction in the upgrade experience of other products."
Of course, although the upgrade requirements have been greatly reduced, the fact that 5300 million experience points are still required tells Lin Feng how difficult it is to develop genetic enhancement drugs.
But if you think about it carefully, every cell in the human body has 30 billion base pairs, and those base pairs make up about 20000 to 25000 gene fragments.
In the genome composed of 30 billion base pairs, each gene fragment has a mysterious function. Your height, hair color, pupil color, etc. are all determined by genes.
For example, the ARHGAP11B gene fragment determines the degree of brain development.
In this case, with such a large number of base pairs and such numerous gene fragments, if you want to study them thoroughly, you can imagine how difficult the research and development would be.
In addition, the human genome is a whole. If you change a certain gene fragment, it may cause chaos in the expression of the entire genome.
It may cause you to contract unknown diseases or experience unknown abnormal changes in your body, so gene editing must be done with extreme caution.
In this case, it is normal that even if you have mastered mature and available gene editing technology, you still need 5300 million experience points to upgrade.
Of course, although 5300 million experience points is a lot, it is not impossible to make it come true. Lin Feng is still quite confident in making a genetic enhancement potion.
Of course, although Lin Feng was able to turn a fake into a real one and create a genetic enhancement drug, it does not mean that Lin Feng can just sit back and relax.
Next, he still needs to learn genetics and conduct in-depth research on the role of a certain gene segment.
After all, the upgrade of EBT-001 gene medical drug has proved the role of advance learning.
Because he studied genetics and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology for several months in advance, the knowledge he finally upgraded to was all knowledge he could digest and understand.
Obviously, during the upgrade process, the more knowledge he knows, the more the upgrade will be based on the knowledge he knows.
The final result is that he can understand the manufacturing knowledge of the upgraded EBT-001 genetic medical drug.
And by integrating the previous and subsequent knowledge, we have thoroughly mastered the truly practical CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology.
Therefore, this time he still needs to conduct in-depth research on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, delve into the mysteries of human genes, and understand the role of each gene fragment.
Only in this way, the 'second generation gene enhancement drug' that can turn the false into the true is the technical knowledge that he can understand and even reproduce.
This is Lin Feng’s plan. He will continue to study hard and prepare to reproduce the ‘second generation of genetic enhancement drugs’ in the future.
Of course, during this period, he had to pretend for two weeks in the shocked eyes of internal researchers and the outside world.
Conduct a round of "re-development experiments" on the EBT-002 gene medical drug.
The EBT-002 gene therapy drug manufacturing method and the truly practical CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology were "redeveloped".
I believe that during this period, the truly practical CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology will be born.
At that time, not only the researchers in Xingtu Gene will be shocked and crazy, but also countless scientific research institutions and researchers around the world will be shocked and crazy. Of course, the patients around the world will be even crazier, and they will definitely be the main force to provide 5300 million experience points so that he can upgrade the gene enhancement potion!
After all, there are not only 3900 million AIDS patients in the world, but also 2.4 million hepatitis B patients and 5.37 million diabetes patients!
Disease is a reality that humans cannot avoid. Once CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology can be truly put into practical use, it will definitely be their hope.
In this case, let alone 5300 million experience points, even 5 million experience points may be obtained.
It can only be said that the true practical application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology is extremely important. It means that from now on, humans can edit the genes of all things at will.
Although humans certainly dare not edit their own genes at will, after all, a single move can affect the entire body.
Who knows if you will die unexpectedly or even suffer from an unknown disease after editing your genes?
But if humans don’t dare to experiment, do they also not dare to experiment on animals?
Therefore, when CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology is truly put into practical use, it will be equivalent to humans possessing God’s authority to create!
So this is a crazy technology, and it is also a super black technology that will change the world and human history!
By making this technology truly practical, Lin Feng deserves to win the Nobel Prize!
If they don't give the Nobel Prize to Lin Feng for such a great black technology, countless people around the world will probably spit and curse that there is a shady deal going on.
Of course, even if they really awarded the Nobel Prize, Lin Feng would not dare to go abroad to receive the award unless they mailed the award to him!
Of course, it is still too far to talk about those things. After making the decision, Lin Feng started to work busyly.
So in the next two weeks, Dr. Charpentier, Dr. Doudna, Dr. Gao Caixia, Dr. He Jian... they all turned into shocked monsters!
Every day they open their eyes wide, often muttering "This is impossible!" "Unbelievable!" "Crazy, the R&D progress can't be so fast!" "Is Lin Feng an alien!"...
These whispers not only appeared in the laboratory, but even when they returned to the dormitory and home, their shocked expressions never stopped, and they completely became shocked monsters.
Of course, they were not the only ones who were shocked and found it unbelievable. In fact, the genetic research institutes around the world that were paying close attention to the developments of Star Path Gene Company were also plunged into a sea of shock.
Because they found that Starway Gene Company was registering a large number of gene editing technology patents every day when they analyzed the relevant technology patents.
A new gene editing technology line appeared in their eyes, and this new gene editing technology line is the 'RNP complex' line.
This is a gene editing technology route that is very different from the two traditional types of 'plasmid transfection method' and 'viral transformation method'!
Moreover, through analysis, the Broad Institute was surprised to find that this newly emerging technology development line has many advantages over the previous two technology lines.
Moreover, in terms of off-target risk control, this RNP complex route is simply the lowest risk and safest route.
Because the RNP complex has a natural degradation property, it will not remain in human cells for a long time.
Finally, after the RNP complex is implanted into the cell, it can directly perform its function without going through the transcription and translation process.
In this case, the potential off-target risk naturally decreases sharply.
Faced with this situation, how could they not be shocked and outraged, how could they sit still?
