In addition to Chen Mowu Bing's original team, more than 30 genomics and bioinformatics experts were divided into two groups, each group responsible for the detection of one protein.
After the division of labor is completed, the expert group begins to discuss their methods of completing the project and prepare experimental theories. Everyone hopes to find the two toxic protein genes in the shortest possible time.
The researchers all knew that Chen Mo came here just to speed up the research. A few days of speed would save many people's lives.
When Chen Mo and Wu Bing came out of the research institute, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and they rushed back to the dormitory.
"How long will it take for this expert group study to be completed?"
"It shouldn't take too long. Finding the gene sequence is not a difficult problem. The main thing is that it requires multiple tests. With so many experts involved, the time can be shortened a lot."
The reason why Chen Mo said this is because DNA testing technology is now very mature. Finding the gene sequence and structure of proteins is not difficult. It can be said that this is a basic skill in genomics research.
"I hope so. If this vaccine research is successful, you will be a hero, Chen Yingxiong." Wu Bing joked.
"Heroes are nothing. I don't want to be a hero. I am a businessman and I want to make money. When customized vaccines are released and vaccine technology revolutionizes, a pile of gold is placed in front of me. Now there are dozens of experts to help me accelerate technological breakthroughs. , pretty much free labor.”
Wu Bing was a little speechless when he saw Chen Mo amused.
"With so many experts and academicians as free labor, I'm afraid there is only one bold businessman like you in the world. If they knew about it, they would probably arrest you and parade you through the streets."
Chen Mo spread his hands and expressed his helplessness: "I just wanted a few more genomics experts, but they called me more than thirty, without me spending any money. It's a shameful waste."
He told Shi Hongtu that he needed several genetic engineering experts to help, but Shi Hongtu was afraid of a shortage of manpower, so he reported it to him as a technical problem. As a result, he found more than 30 top genetic researchers, which was much beyond his expectation.
Now that he is here, Chen Mo will naturally not let go of this good opportunity and let these researchers do a free study for him.
"Next, we need to prepare the genetic modification experiment of the vaccine. We need to find a few teachers who study gene expression regulation to join the team. The next modification time will be much shorter."
"Academician Yang Yunjia is an expert in this field. He is presiding over an expression control project. He can do it. There are also academicians Wang Qi, academician Gao Fu..." Wu Bing mentioned the names of several relevant academicians.
"Yeah." Chen Mo wrote down a few names.
"Would you like to have dinner together?" After chatting about work, Wu Bing turned the topic back to life.
"No, Mo Nu has cooked the food and is waiting for me in the dormitory." Chen Mo said.
Speaking of Mo Nu, Wu Bing's eyes became strange.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I've always wanted to ask you a question. Does Mo Nu come here with you and live together? Does your wife know?" Wu Bing looked at Chen Mo curiously, wanting to see his reaction.
"What do you want to express?" Chen Mo had a black line on his forehead.
"Didn't your wife object?"
Chen Mo couldn't laugh or cry. There was no way to explain this matter, and there was no need to explain it. He could only shrug: "No, she also told Mo Nu how to take care of me and what to pay attention to. It made me feel like I couldn't take care of myself."
"Okay, your wife has a big heart." Wu Bing said with a meaningful smile: "Mo Nu is not an ordinary beauty. She looks like the apple of a rich family's eye. How did you get her to be your assistant?"
"Charisma."
"..." Wu Bing rolled his eyes.
In the next few days, the expert team entered a state of emergency research. Everyone is tense and hopes to complete their respective research projects as soon as possible.
More than 30 top genomics and bioinformatics experts are focusing on one topic here, and the medical community in the capital has become busier than ever.
The Capital Institute of Biogenetics was also used as one of the research institutes for this study. The required experimental materials will be quickly put in place under the coordination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All channels are dedicated to providing the best results for this study. Quick assistance.
Race against time.
As Chen Mo expected, it didn't take long for the good news to come out of the laboratory.
After seeing the results of the report, not only the Yang Yun family but also other team members had joy on their faces.
Their group is responsible for the subject of T3 protein, which is one of the two poisonous proteins that Chen Mo said. Two days ago, the genetic sequence of the T1 protein was found by members of the T1 team.
In the past two days, they had been thinking about the gene for the T3 protein they were looking for all the time, and they finally completed it today.
Finding the genetic sequence is not difficult for them, but when it comes to the Reedman virus vaccine, which can save thousands of lives, they feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"The location of the gene sequence of the T3 protein has been found. Please notify Academician Chen. Our team has fulfilled its mission."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
After getting the experimental data, Chen Mo thanked the researchers on the field.
Once the genetic sequences of the two proteins are found, the next thing becomes much simpler. However, in order to go faster, Chen Mo still needs to recruit a few people to participate in the research.
Now the team is all experts in genomics, and there are several academicians who study gene expression regulation. It is not easy to gather so many experts and academicians here, but he feels sorry for not making full use of them.
To save time and get the vaccine done faster, yes, that's it.
Chen Mo finished thinking before speaking.
"Teachers, next, we have to restrict the expression of these two protein genes on the vaccine system platform, because the experiment has multiple directions and requires some manpower. I'm afraid I need your help."
"We are here to help, Academician Chen. If you need anything from us, just ask." Yang Yunjia stood up.
"Because there are many ways to restrict gene expression, such as gene amplification, deletion, methylation modification, gene manipulation, etc. These methods are all possible, but we don't know the impact of these two genes on the vaccine system platform, so we are prepared Try all of these methods.
We are modifying the vaccine platform at the same time and testing all methods at the same time to determine which one works. It can save a lot of time. Trying one by one may take a long time. Our group can only conduct experiments in one direction in a short period of time, so experts related to gene expression regulation are needed to preside over experiments in the remaining directions. "
"Let me count you in." Yang Yunjia said.
"I count one."
"I'm here to join in the fun too!!"
Several experts and academicians in gene expression regulation research that Wu Bing mentioned have come forward. In the end, Chen Mo selected several of the most prestigious academicians to serve as leaders of the group and lead research in other directions.
After the tasks were assigned, Chen Mocai said to Shi Hongtu: "Team Leader Shi, you have people send all the patients infected with the virus to the hospital so that we can conduct vaccine trials."
"Okay." Shi Hongtu agreed immediately.
The mortality rate of infection with the virus is 100%. If you are sent for treatment, there is still a slight chance of survival. If the patient does not have family members, he will refuse treatment.
After the arrangements were made, the six groups of members, under the guidance of Chen Mo, began to modify the vaccine.
