Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Has the sequence been analyzed? Is there a known binding sequence?"

"Professor Li, the amplified gene screening for non-small cell lung cancer has been completed."

"Keep going, using methods such as cell transfection, RNA interference, cDNA chip or reverse transcription multiplex linkage-dependent probe amplification to clarify the role of genes in the development of tumors!"

"Ok!"

Finding targets is a job that requires patience, especially when the human genome database has not yet been established.Finding the target at this time is like looking for the corresponding big tree in a whole forest with a leaf, which is not difficult.

Li Zheng's experimental design is very clear, and Professor Ruiz's research data on lung cancer is even richer. The integration of their resources has indeed greatly saved the experimental time.

At the same time, outside, the U.S. Congress has been arguing about how much dollars should be invested in the Human Genome Project next year. The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Academy of Medicine sent people to Cold Spring Harbor three times in a row to discuss laboratory preparations with Watson and others.

The Chinese embassy in the United States has repeatedly proposed to the United States its willingness to participate in the plan, but there is no follow-up.

The time in the laboratory always flies very quickly. In the second month after the experiment started, Li Zheng finally got in touch with the people in Li Zheng's laboratory and the ninth laboratory.

"Professor Li! I finally got in touch with you! If you don't show up again, the principal will sue you for breach of contract!" Sun Bin's yelling quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Li Zheng on the other end of the phone took the microphone away from his ear, "I'm asking for leave." He touched his nose, looking a little guilty, "How is your unlimited organ storage project doing? ?”

Li Zheng felt that he was a very competent laboratory leader. No, after having the direction of the experiment, he let the subordinates do it, and cultivated the thinking and operation ability of the subordinates in practice.

Sun Bin on the other end of the phone was silent for 2 minutes, "Professor, you and Teacher Liu have left, leaving us three-legged cats. Although Meng Jie stuttered a bit, his experimental level is really good. Lu Keke and I It can only be fought."

"Old Zheng left last month. He said that he regretted not completing the last project in his scientific research career."

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What about the progress of the experiment?" He would not let Sun Bin just fool around like this.

"Hey." Sun Bin laughed dryly, "According to your experimental design, we have screened out eighteen kinds of low-temperature antiseptic formulas that are most likely to succeed. It has been 33 days and nine hours since the storage experiment started, and the organs have not yet recovered. A clear trend of exhaustion!"

"We already reported to Researcher Liu last month, and Teacher Liu also came here specially. He said that after contacting you, we can start writing the second phase of the paper."

The corners of Li Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. Although he knew this was the result, he still felt happy when he said it from Sun Bin's mouth.

"These eighteen kinds of low-temperature anti-corrosion formulas all need to be registered as patents. This matter is left to you, Mr. Liu. As for the project paper, you should be familiar with this experiment. One person writes a section in charge of himself, and ordinary SCI papers should not question."

From the other end of the phone came the sound of "crackling" as if glass products fell to the ground and shattered, as well as Sun Bin's obviously excited voice, "SCI papers, are we?"

He never thought that he could publish SCI papers.

"Let's write it separately and send it by ourselves? Professor..." Before Sun Bin finished speaking, the microphone was snatched by another person. He was about to have a seizure, but when he looked up, he quickly swallowed the curse on his lips , "School...principal?"

Zhao Depei was standing next to him panting, his face was as dark as iron, and the veins in his hand holding the microphone were exposed.

"Li Zheng! You still know how to call!" Zhao Depei has been reporting to the Ninth Laboratory every day for more than a month. Today, as soon as he walked to the door of the laboratory, he heard Sun Bin's voice on the phone.

SCI papers? In Huaqing University in the 80s, not many people had published SCI papers, Sun Bin?It's not that Zhao Depei looks down on him, no matter how he ranks, SCI can't take his turn!

"Ah, Principal Zhao, hello." Li Zheng rubbed his ears, "I'll make up for the class when I come back, don't worry."

"I'll talk about the class later. Let me ask you, do you know Professor Watson?" Zhao Depei said seriously.

Although the Human Genome Project is still in the preparatory stage, everyone in the biological circle knows that it is only a matter of time before the Human Genome Project expands to an international scope, and Huaguo must participate in this project.

The Human Genome Project is of extraordinary significance to all mankind. A well-known retired official in the United States once said that if the Human Genome Project is fully launched, its significance will be no less than that of the Apollo moon landing project and the Manhattan atomic bomb project.How could Hua Guo miss such an opportunity.

Nixon visited China in 1972, and China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1979. Since the reform and opening up, China has been trying to integrate into the world. This international plan, in which almost all major countries participate, is a great opportunity for China to integrate into the world.

"Mr. Watson, of course I..." In the middle of Li Zheng's words, Ruiz came out of the laboratory. While taking off his lab coat, he shouted to Li Zheng: "Come here today, Watson Invite us to dinner, Berg and the others are also here, Li, I'm going to drive, you can come down later."

Well, no need to go on.

Zhao Depei on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "Li Zheng, my English is not very good, what the person said just now, how about you translate it for me?"

Li Zheng coughed dryly, "Principal, what do you want Mr. Watson to do, if I can help you, just tell me."

Zhao Depei took a deep breath, trying to calm down the excitement in his heart.

"Human Genome Project, you know that!"

"En." Li Zheng glanced at the meeting minutes of the "Human Genome Project" expert meeting that was casually put aside because of his busy schedule, and nodded sincerely.

"The Human Genome Project is of great significance to Huaguo. Our Huaguo biologists and the heads of the central government all hope that Huaguo can participate in this project. Huaguo has already expressed its wishes to the United States through official channels. wish, but the reply from the United States is that the United States is a democratic country, and politics does not interfere with science. If Huaguo wants to participate in the plan, it needs the approval of the project team, and Mr. Watson is the actual person in charge of the project team!"

Zhao Depei spoke every word quickly, his heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"this one?"

"What do you mean? That's all! Huaguo must participate in this plan that concerns all mankind! Li Zheng, I'm not embarrassing you, we just hope that you can send a message to Mr. Watson to express our Huaguo's wishes and sincerity." Zhao Depei couldn't help but tinge with anger when he heard Li Zheng's seemingly casual answer.

For this matter, several old seniors in Huaguo's biology circle ran around and didn't get a good night's sleep for several months, but Li Zheng didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.

Sure enough, he is a young man after all, no matter how high his academic level is, he still can't tell the priority of things.

"If this is the case, you don't need to ask Mr. Watson. I can give you the answer right now. The Human Genome Project is still in the initiation stage. Although experts from various countries have met, the research methods are mainly fragmented, that is, the governments of various countries independently Research, the U.S. Congress is still arguing about the scale of investment in the plan, and it is not a good time for Hua Guo to get involved."

"Wait a minute, let me deal with it." Zhao Depei was stunned when he heard it, which was different from what he heard from Chen Anbang.

Zhao Depei is not a biologist, and he got all his information through Chen Anbang and other biologists.Not a good time?

National and domestic biologists have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in. Don't you think it's a good time?

"Mr. Watson?" Zhao Depei asked suspiciously.

"Ah?" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, "No, it was my idea."

Zhao Depei was about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, "Your thoughts, you know the ins and outs of this matter, return your thoughts!"

Li Zheng rubbed his nose, "I know, I'm here for the expert meeting in June. I remember that it says on the leave note I gave you..."

what what?

What did he hear?

written request for leave?Oh no, that's not the point, expert meeting, he's in?

Zhao Depei tried hard to put these words together, "What! Are you at the Human Genome Project expert meeting in June?!"

"The meeting chaired by Mr. Berger and Mr. Gilbert? The meeting held by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory? Are you here?!" Zhao Depei's voice had never been raised so high, which made him break his voice for a while.

Li Zheng held the microphone a little further away from his ears.

"Principal, I wrote down the reason for asking for leave on the leave note..." Li Zheng said helplessly, "Of course, I only asked for half a month at that time, and now I have an experiment that I can't leave. Please go on."

Li Zheng tried his best to make his voice less guilty, "Maybe, it will take half a year." His voice was very soft. He had been employed for more than a year, and he was away from school for most of the time. He himself was a little embarrassed.

"This experiment is closely related to the progress of the Human Genome Project. This is also an important reason for me to say that it is not a good time. I think that as long as this experiment produces results, the debate in the American scientific community will stop, and the Genome Project will be accelerated. Even It is not impossible to carry out directly, and important countries all over the world will participate at that time, and I think it can still be done by leaving a place for Huaguo."
