"Has the sequence been analyzed, is there a known binding sequence?"
"Professor Li, the amplified gene screening of non-small cell lung cancer has been completed."
"Go ahead and use cell transfection, RNA interference, cDNA chips, or reverse transcription multiplexing-dependent probe amplification to clarify the role of genes in the development of tumors!"
"OK!"
Finding targets is a very patient work, especially when the human genome database has not yet been established. At this time, finding the target is like holding a leaf to find the corresponding big tree in the whole forest, which is not difficult.
Li Zheng's experimental design is very clear, and Professor Ruiz's research materials on lung cancer are even more abundant. The integration of the two people's resources has indeed greatly saved the experimental time.
At the same time, the U.S. Congress has been arguing about how much dollars should be invested in the Human Genome Project in the coming year. The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Academy of Medicine have sent people to Cold Spring Harbor three times in a row to discuss laboratory preparations with Watson and others.
The Chinese embassy in the U.S. has repeatedly proposed to the U.S. side its willingness to participate in the plan, but none of them followed suit.
The time in the laboratory always passed by very fast. 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 said that he will go to court to sue you for breach of contract!" Sun Bin's shouts quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Li Zheng on the other end of the phone took the microphone away from his ear and said, "I'm not asking for leave." He touched his nose, appearing to be a little guilty, "How is your unlimited organ storage project doing? ?"
Li Zheng feels that he is a very competent laboratory leader. No, after he has the experimental direction, he will let his subordinates do it, and cultivate the thinking and operation ability of his subordinates in practice.
Sun Bin on the other end of the phone was silent for two minutes, "Professor, you and Mr. Liu are gone, leave us three-legged cats. Although Meng Jie stuttered a bit, his experimental level is really good. It's just a matter of fighting."
"Lao Zheng left last month. He said he regretted not completing the last project of his research career."
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What about the experimental process?" He wouldn't let Sun Bin fool him like that.
"Hehe." Sun Bin laughed dryly, "According to your experimental design, we have selected 18 low-temperature antiseptic formulas that are most likely to be successful. It has been 33 days and 9 hours since the storage experiment began. There is no obvious tendency for organs to fail!"
"We have reported to Researcher Liu last month, and Mr. Liu also came here specially. He said that after contacting you, we can start writing the second stage paper."
The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, although he knew this was the result, but what he said from Sun Bin's mouth still made him feel happy.
"All of these 18 low-temperature anti-corrosion formulas need to be patented. This matter is left to you, Mr. Liu. As for the project paper, you should be familiar with this experiment. If you write a section for your own responsibility, ordinary SCI papers should not be question."
From the other end of the phone came the sound of "crackling" as if a glass product fell to the ground and shattered, and Sun Bin's obviously excited voice changed in tone, "SCI papers, are we?"
He never thought that he would be able to publish SCI papers.
"Let's write it separately and send it ourselves? Professor..." Before Sun Bin could finish speaking, the microphone was snatched by another person. He was about to have a seizure, and when he looked up, he quickly swallowed the scolding that was on his lips. "School... Principal?"
Zhao Depei was standing beside him out of breath, his face was as heavy as black iron, and the veins on his hand holding the microphone were exposed.
"Li Zheng! You still know how to make a phone call!" Zhao Depei has been reporting to the ninth laboratory every day for more than a month. As soon as he walked to the door of the laboratory, he heard the voice of Sun Bin calling.
SCI papers? In Huaqing University in the 1980s, not many people published SCI papers, Sun Bin? It's not that Zhao Depei looks down on him, no matter how he ranks, SCI can't take him!
"Ah, Principal Zhao, hello." Li Zheng rubbed his ears, "I'll make up for the class when I get back, don't worry."
"We'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 scale, and China must participate in this project.
The significance of the Human Genome Project to all mankind is extraordinary. 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 working hard to integrate into the world. This international plan, which almost all major countries have participated in, is a great opportunity for China to integrate into the world.
"Mr. Watson, of course I..." Li Zheng said halfway through, Ruiz came out of the laboratory, while taking off his lab coat, he shouted to Li Zheng: "Let's be here today, Watson please Let's eat, Berg and the others are there, Li, I'm going to drive, you can come down later."
Well, stop talking.
Zhao Depei on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, "Li Zheng, my English is not very good. Would you like to help me translate what that person said just now?"
Li Zheng coughed dryly, "Principal, what are you looking for Mr. Watson for? If I can help you, just say so."
Zhao Depei took a deep breath and tried to calm down the excitement in his heart.
"The Human Genome Project, you know!"
"Yeah." Li Zheng glanced at the meeting minutes of the "Human Genome Project" expert meeting, which was arbitrarily put aside because he was busy, and nodded sincerely.
"The Human Genome Project is of great significance to China. Our Chinese biologists and the heads of the central government all hope that China can participate in this project. China has already expressed its own opinions to the United States through official channels. Wish, but the reply of the United States is that the United States is a democratic country, and politics does not interfere with science. If China wants to participate in the plan, it needs the approval of the project team, and Mr. Watson is the actual leader of the project team!"
Zhao Depei said 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! China must participate in this plan that concerns all mankind! Li Zheng, I am not embarrassing you, we just hope that you can send a message to Mr. Watson to express our country's wishes. And sincerity." Zhao Depei listened to Li Zheng's seemingly casual answer, and his tone couldn't help but bring a bit of anger.
For this matter, several seniors in the Huaguo biological circle ran around and hadn't slept peacefully for several months, but Li Zheng didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.
After all, he is a young man, and no matter how high his academic level is, the priorities of things are still unclear.
"If this is the case, you don't need to ask Mr. Watson, I can give you the answer now. The Human Genome Project is still in the launching stage. Although experts from various countries have met, the research methods are mainly independent, that is, the governments of various countries themselves Research, the US Congress is still arguing about the scale of investment in the plan, and it is not a good time for China to participate."
"Wait a minute, let me make sense." Zhao Depei was taken aback for a while, which was different from what he heard from Chen Angang.
Zhao Depei is not a biologist, and all his information was heard through Chen Anbang and other biologists. Not a good time
National and domestic biologists have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in. Do you think it is not a good time
"What did Mr. Watson say?" Zhao Depei asked suspiciously.
"Ah?" Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, "No, it's my idea."
Zhao Depei was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood, "Your thoughts, you know the ins and outs of this matter, return your thoughts!"
Li Zheng touched his nose, "I know, I'm here at the expert meeting in June. I remember that it was written on the leave slip I gave you..."
what what
What did he hear
written request for leave? Oh no, that's not the point, expert meeting, where is he
Zhao Depei tried to put these words together, "What! The Human Genome Project expert meeting in June, are you there?!"
"The meeting hosted by Mr. Berg and Mr. Gilbert? The meeting held at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory? Are you here?!" Zhao Depei's pitch had never been so high, which made him a little broken for a while.
Li Zheng held the microphone away from his ears.
"Principal, I wrote down the reasons for asking for leave on the slip..." 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, I think I might have to continue. Please go down."
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 in the job for more than a year, and most of the time he was away from school, he was a little embarrassed himself.
"This experiment is closely related to the progress of the Human Genome Project. This is also an important willingness to say that now is not a good time. I think that as long as this experiment is successful, the debate in the American scientific community can stop, the genome project will accelerate, and even It is not impossible to carry it out directly. At that time, important countries all over the world will participate, and I can still do it if I want to leave a place for China."
