Chapter 152 The Human Gene Project Starts

The news that Zhixia Technology started to do biological sciences came out, and the society responded wildly.

Everyone is discussing, is Zhixia Technology planning to combine computer technology and biological science?
Combined with the relatively popular Human Genome Project in recent years, optimists believe that the research and development of Zhixia Technology can extend human lifespan to one hundred years.

Xia Zhi was interviewed and asked why he wanted to step into the field of biological sciences that he had never set foot in before.

Xia Zhi borrowed the words of the female employee from the previous leadership meeting:
"Zhixia Technology has always been committed to building smart and civilized cities. The establishment of a smart city not only requires convenient transportation, but also the city's medical facilities. We try every means to prevent car accidents from harming humans, but now there are so many injuries and illnesses It’s torturing humans, so we know what Xia Technology should do.”

The female reporter asked about the explosion incident at Zhixia University of Science and Technology:
"I heard that the child was seriously injured, and you went to visit him in person. Did this incident prompt you to plan to do biological sciences and promote medical progress?"

Xia Zhi sighed:
"This incident can be regarded as an opportunity. I went to visit Xiaoye at that time. I saw Xiaoye's pain, the doctor's helplessness, and the breakdown of the child's parents. I was very touched.

Later, when I left the hospital, someone recognized me and knelt down for me, hoping that I could save her child. After I inquired, I found out that this woman’s child had leukemia and was in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. No, since she is about to die, she hopes that I can come forward to save her child.

Originally, this was a trivial matter. It was not difficult for Zhixia Technology to come forward to find a suitable bone marrow. I agreed to that aunt. Later, more and more patients and their families came to ask me for help.

A person's power is limited, and Zhixia Technology's power is also limited, especially in the field of medicine. There are many diseases, and no matter how much money is invested in it, it will not help.

After I came back, I thought a lot, and finally decided to use the power of computer science to promote the progress of biological science and do my best to help those struggling with illness. "

The reporter nodded:

"You are truly a conscientious entrepreneur."

Xia Zhi smiled and shook his head:
"When the business grows bigger, it should repay the society."

The reporter smiled and asked:
"Mr. Xia, can you tell us about the progress of Zhixia Technology in the field of biological science?"

Xia Zhi replied:
"We established the School of Biological Sciences at Zhixia University of Science and Technology, recruiting talents in the field from all over the world. Now the most team members are the Human Genome Project Team and the Skin Regeneration Technology Team."

The person in charge of the human genome project within Zhixia University of Science and Technology is Tian Yamei, Xia Zhi's secretary.

Tian Yamei's previous major was biological science, and now she has practiced next to Xia Zhi for more than a year, and she was sent to lead the Human Genome Project team, which is very suitable.

It's just that Xia Zhi has to change his secretary again after suffering.

Fortunately, Tian Yamei trained two 'successor' secretaries for Xia Zhi during her tenure.

Even without Tian Yamei, the two secretaries can work together to help Xia Zhi solve company affairs.

Sun Shiliang joked with Xia Zhi:

"Mr. Xia, you are personally cultivating leaders one by one, and then sending them to the front-line positions of Zhixia Technology."

Xia Zhi smiled and said:

"In ancient times, it was done by inserting confidants."

Sun Shiliang boasted:
"Mr. Xia did a good job."

"Ok?"

Since the establishment of Zhixia Science and Technology Institute of Biological Sciences, Xia Zhi came to inspect the work for the first time.

He mainly looks at two major biological groups, one is the human genome and the other is the skin regeneration group.

Xiaomei, who is in charge of the human genome, received Xia Zhi and introduced Xia Zhi to the work arrangements and progress of the human genome very skillfully.

Xia Zhi is very satisfied.

Xiaomei's ability to handle affairs has always reassured him.

At this time, Xia Zhi suddenly noticed a change in the system tasks he had received in his mind:
【Mission in progress: Human Genome Project—Gene Sequencing】

[Development time: 5 days]

[Energy input: 47 points]

[Investment funds: 13487 points]

[External assistance: 85467 points]

[Total mission points: 19 points]

[Note: The minimum points required to enable system assistance: 100 task points. 】

The system task of the Human Gene Project was activated before, and today is the fifth day.

A series of subtasks: gene sequencing are now activated, indicating that this system task is too large, so it was separated.

It is similar to the previous automatic driving algorithm divided into three stages.

But what Xia Zhi is curious about is, haven't humans already mastered the gene sequencing algorithm?

Why do I activate this gene sequencing algorithm now, and it only has 19 points?
Is the current gene sequencing algorithm of human beings not good?

Xia Zhi followed Xiaomei, visited the experimental group, and listened to Xiaomei's introduction on gene sequencing:

"Since the early 90s, the academic community has been involved in the "Human Genome Project". The traditional sequencing method uses optical sequencing technology. Four different bases are marked with fluorescent colors of different colors, and then a laser light source is used to capture the fluorescent signals. Obtain the sequence information of the gene to be tested.

In the latest gene sequencer, the chip replaces the traditional laser lens, fluorescent dye, etc., and the chip is the sequencer.

Through semiconductor sensors, the instrument directly detects the ion flow generated during DNA replication.When reagents enter the chip through the integrated fluid channel, the reaction wells densely distributed on the chip immediately become millions of micro-reaction systems.

This combination of technologies enables researchers to obtain genetic information in as little as 2 hours.With traditional optical sequencing technology, it takes weeks or even months to get the results, and at the same time, the cost of a test is also reduced to as low as $1. "

Xia Zhi probably understands that the current human sequencing algorithm is relatively cumbersome and costly, and the accuracy rate has not reached 100%, so there is still room for improvement.

Xiaomei continued to introduce to Xia Zhi the sequencing equipment that the group had just purchased:
"Life Technologies, headquartered in California, USA, recently launched the Ion Proton, a desktop gene sequencer that can sequence a person's whole genome in one day.

However, this product has not yet obtained the authoritative certification of the US Food and Drug Administration and China's State Food and Drug Administration, and its specific role has yet to be tested. "

When mentioning this Life Technologies company, Xiaomei also introduced several employees who had jumped over from Life Technologies to Xia Zhi.

One of them is the director of Life Technologies, and now he is the technical team leader of the genome here. His name is Yarrow.

Xia Zhi nodded, and reached out to shake hands with Yarrow.

After inspecting the work on the genome, Xia Zhi wondered if there was something wrong with the gene sequencing work.

Judging from the number of task points, this task is not difficult. In other words, human beings have mastered the general direction of gene sequencing.

Now Xia Zhi has 19 total task points, and it is estimated that he will be able to complete the gene sequencing work in a short time.
