Rebuild Dinosaur Island

Chapter 123: Creatures are poor for three generations, resurrected and ruined their lives (please collect)
Subsequently.

The intermediary quickly took out the documents from the briefcase, filled in the information, and then asked about Li Yan's identity information.

In the end, the two parties finalized that the lease time would be one year, plus one month's rent deposit and half a month's agency fee, totaling more than 137 million, with a deposit of [-].

After Li Yan signed the deposit contract, he transferred the money to the intermediary.

The two rested for a while in the living room.

During the period, the intermediary was not afraid of embarrassment, and started chatting enthusiastically and asking a lot.

Li Yan only said that he resigned from a large company to start his own technology company, and didn't say much else.

After cooling for a while.

The intermediary drove him again and took him to Zhangjiang High-tech Zone to check the research institute to be leased.

Compared with single-family villas, there are fewer houses for research institutes with equipment, there are only two in total, and they are all in the high-tech park.

Established in 1992, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park is located in the south-central part of Pudong, only 10 minutes away from the Tomson Golf he rented.

Most of the top biomedical companies, integrated circuits and software industry chain companies in Shanghai are integrated here, and it is known as the Silicon Valley of China.

Looking around, among the green belts, there are white high-rise buildings representing high-tech enterprises one after another.

Li Yan followed the agency and drove all the way to the innermost part, where he found a company called Phaeton Biopharmaceuticals and met the company's logistics manager, a middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses.

She led the two of them to visit the research institute, which was a small independent two-story building with a data office on the first floor and a laboratory on the second floor, which was equipped with basic equipment and computers for the biological research institute.

But now, because the company's performance is not good, it is on the verge of bankruptcy, and there is no new drug development for a long time, so this research institute is gradually abandoned.

The system information in the computer and the file cabinets in the office have all been vacated and can be used at any time. Water, electricity, and Internet are all free.

Li Yan glanced roughly, not to mention comparing with Helena's laboratory, even the laboratory of his alma mater, Jiaotong University, couldn't compare.

However, if some more equipment is added, it is basically enough to only do a single study of biological genes.

Anyway, cloning experiments will not be carried out here, because the domestic supervision is too strict.

The real core experiment should be left until the laboratory in Laos is completed.

Now that the conditions were met, Li Yan paid the deposit directly.

The female logistics supervisor with black-rimmed glasses also signed a confidentiality agreement with him, stating that the company will never interfere or spy on any activities related to the laboratory.

In other words, within the lease period, the laboratory is completely his own.

Li Yan signed a half-year lease with them.

He estimated that half a year would be enough to build a laboratory in Laos with simple infrastructure.

The research institute and the villa must come down.

His affairs in Shanghai finally came to an end. All that was left was to wait for the final payment, take over the laboratory, and recruit some researchers in biological genes to help.

But that's all for later.

Li Yan has not yet had time to check the cell and DNA information of the dodo bird. If the information is difficult to decipher, he may have to recruit some high-end talents.

In this regard, I can only find a way from Teacher Wang at my alma mater, and there is no rush.

When I got home again, it was already afternoon.

Maybe it's because of the luxury of the villa, but when I look at my rental house, it's just like a "kennel".

No wonder many people say that "it is easy to go from thrift to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality".

Of course, this also has something to do with Li Yan's dislike of tidying up.

Since he was busy looking at the house all morning, he didn't have time to eat.

After ordering takeaway, I waited in the living room while browsing the online library of Jiaotong University on a tablet, looking up information about the resurrection of extinct creatures, especially the dodo bird.

In fact, human beings have been experimenting with the resurrection of extinct creatures.

At present, most of the creatures most likely to be resurrected are near-ancient creatures, such as mammoths, dodos, and giant ground sloths.

Among them, the most commonly used is the clone resurrection technology.

The specific method of operation is to extract complete DNA information from the fossils of extinct organisms, and then replace them into the germ cells of similar organisms, so that they can be revived from the development of the mother's womb.

For example, the southern gastric brooding frog, which became extinct in 1983, scientists copied its gene into the enucleated egg cells of its close relatives, frogs, and successfully bred embryos, but these embryos have not turned into tadpoles so far.

Another example is the Tasmanian tiger, which became extinct in 1936. It is a wolf-shaped creature covered with tiger fur. A close relative of the Tasmanian devil, it is also called the thylacine because it has a kangaroo-like pouch on its abdomen.

Australian scientists once injected its DNA into mouse embryos, but the experiment was aborted due to funding problems.

The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar dove, both of which belong to the order Columbiformes.

The carrier already exists.

The difficulty is that the DNA information of the dodo known to humans is fragmented and cannot be perfectly replicated.

Before there was no complete source of DNA information, some biological geneticists thought of using the same kind of information to make up!

For example, someone has begun to use the DNA information of 36 different pigeons, and wants to calculate the loophole of the missing DNA of the dodo bird through the similarity of genetic information of the same kind.

But for now, no news of successful cases has come out.

Li Yan had complete flesh and bones of the dodo in his hand, and it was so fresh that it had just been slaughtered.

What he should think about is how to explain the source of this DNA.

This method of making up for DNA information gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it!

To know.

Li Yanke has published papers related to biomolecule synthesis in the internal journal of Stanford University, an Ivy League school in the United States and the world's top university.

I have to say that Berkeley's move is really wonderful.

It greatly raised Li Yan's status.

It's not too much for an expert in the synthesis of biomolecules to use the DNA information of close relatives to synthesize the complete DNA information of the dodo bird, right?

Reasonable!

All that was left was for Li Yan to figure out how to perfectly copy the DNA and then replace it into Nicobala's egg cells.

but.

Biological resurrection is far from simple.

Everything is full of variables.

For example, the previously resurrected Pyrenees goat, even though it successfully gave birth to a baby, still survived for only a few minutes before contracting pneumonia and dying.

As for whether it was a laboratory infection or a defect in the gene itself, there is no way to know.

There are too many variables involved in this!

In short, "biology is poor for three generations, and resurrection destroys life." If you want to take the road of resurrecting extinct creatures, you can't survive without investing a lot of financial support!
