And the reason why we pay attention to this aspect of genes.
Due to the research work of scientists, they noticed certain problems.
Because it has been discovered that certain diseases can be inherited, that is, familial genetic diseases.
It is often caused by elders in certain families suffering from diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Many of their descendants will suffer from the same disease, and some will not suffer from that disease.
As the research deepened, scientists noticed that people who did not suffer from the disease gave birth to a third generation.
When the children in the third generation grow up, they will dominantly inherit the family disease from their grandparents' generation.
Eventually, they determined that those diseases were caused by genes, that is, those who suffered from the disease carried factors in certain genes that could cause the disease.
Of course, hereditary diseases like diabetes are not caused by genetic defects, but are genetic decisions left by our ancestors.
The reason why consanguineous marriages are prohibited in medicine now is because if the two parties are close relatives, the DNA of both parties overlaps too much, which makes it possible for the children to manifest the diseases of their ancestors.
At this point, you can look at the situation of some families in history who were very concerned about the purity of their blood, and have always advocated and even insisted on engaging in incest marriage for a long time. You can see the consequences of incest marriage (the Egyptian Pharaoh and a certain current
The remaining royal family).
There was a very famous European aristocrat, and the descendants of the last few generations were mostly crooked. The last one could not speak until he was four years old, took his first step in life at the age of eight, died at the age of thirty-eight, and cut off the branch directly.
It can be seen that inbreeding is more dangerous. Scientists discovered the problem in this way. Later, dan was born and attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people wonder: If certain diseases are genetic problems, can any method be used to modify the bad parts of the DNA?
Many people began to work on this aspect, and eventually gene editing technology using nucleases as molecular scissors emerged.
After Qiao knew about it, he went to study it. Since some viruses contain Dan (and some RNA), he could try editing.
In fact, human gene editing is more of a theoretical research, and its use is not allowed because of the ethical issues involved.
Of course, Joe has no such concerns when it comes to viruses, and there is no legal prohibition at all.
After repeated research and many hardships, Qiao still fell into a stalemate.
Gene editing is not an easy task, and sometimes it is a mistake.
None of the edited viruses are suitable.
Either it's very infective, or it's simply unstable.
After doing it for a long time, Joe found that it was not as good as the originally known virus.
It can be said that the effect of his work is zero and he is useless.
Fortunately, he has a very stubborn temper and can quickly bounce back after suffering a blow.
In order to achieve his wish, he devoted himself to the work of editing viral genes.
Even he himself didn't know how much time had passed, and he even forgot what he was editing.
Because later on he was very crazy, his body was very tired, but his spirit was high, he wanted to sleep but couldn't.
In this way, he was editing in a very dreamy situation: subtracting a part from the branches of a virus and adding some other virus genes. At this moment, he only knew that he had not made the most suitable thing yet.
, he has been busy.
Even he himself didn't know what part of the virus he added, but an oval-shaped virus actually appeared.
And after he finished it, he was really sleepy and kept trying to clean up the virus he had edited.
After cleaning up, he ate some rice to comfort his growling stomach, and then fell asleep while eating.
When he woke up, he thought he was dreaming and created a new virus in his dream.
Later, when he got to the place where viruses are stored, he was very surprised when he took a closer look.
Only then did I realize that this was not a dream at all, but actually happened.
It's just that everything is very confusing in my memory.
He doesn't know how he did it?
Later, Joe thought about copying it and making it.
I found that I could never get it out, and they were all failures.
The new virus is simply an accident and cannot be replicated.
Qiao was very excited and carefully observed the new virus. The more he watched, the happier he became.
You must know that this new virus did not evolve slowly, but was obtained through genetic editing.
Although it was not born, Qiao Jin observed it for a period of time and found that the entire structure of the virus was very complete.
It can be said that the new virus has completely mutated into another virus. The entire structure is very stable and seems to be a perfect change.
Joe seemed so happy afterwards that he almost jumped up. He was very excited and circled around the virus petri dish.
Great! He decided to give this virus a pretty good name that would be very loud.
In order to come up with a name, he began to observe the new virus carefully, especially carefully.
After some observation, Qiao discovered the biggest feature of this new virus.
That is because the gene-edited virus has extremely strong proliferative power.
The number of people is growing at a rate that is almost like cheating.
It turns into many, many viruses in a short time.
A large number of new viruses have grown in a short period of time.
Joe looked at the situation very seriously and did some other experiments.
That is, how long can the new virus survive under various conditions?
Generally speaking, viruses are not afraid of cold winter. Let’s see how new viruses are.
This new football-shaped virus also has the same characteristics. It is indeed afraid of heat but not cold.
As the temperature increases, the activity of the virus decreases, so the new virus is as afraid of heat as the virus army.
Generally speaking, the temperature above 60 degrees can kill the virus. Of course, it will take half an hour to eliminate the virus.
Qiao named the new virus F-virus in his diary. Ling Xiao was confused when he saw this. Why is it called F-virus? What is the reason?
Then I understood the reason after reading Joe's diary. When Joe saw the increase in the number of viruses, he thought of flies. You must know that in hot summer, flies can breed once every eight days, and each time a female fly will lay more than a thousand eggs.
, if calculated like this, a few flies will breed into two hundred billion flies in about half a year, which can be regarded as the most fecund and powerful group of known animals.
If so many flies were put together, they would definitely look like a dark cloud. Just imagining it, Ling Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.
The first letter of fly starts with f. The reason why Qiao named it this way is because of the extremely powerful proliferation ability of the new virus.
When Ling Xiao saw this, he understood that no wonder normal people would definitely be infected without proper protection.
Because the virus will multiply in the patient's body, the virus will begin to appear in the air.
According to Joe's records, the number of days the F virus can survive in the air is not low.
It lasts four full days and can even be attached to various places.
This makes it possible for ordinary people to inhale the virus through their breathing.
After entering the human body, the virus begins to multiply.
This is bound to be discovered by the body’s immune system.
Then the host starts to get sick.
That's the whole process.
And the more people are sick.
The number of viruses in the air will increase.
This will infect more people, this is Qiao's conjecture.
Qiao did not do any human experiments, but he has not gone crazy.
Although he created a new type of virus, he did not intend to make a profit.
But he was still very proud and wanted to talk to someone about the situation, otherwise no one would celebrate.
It made him feel unhappy all the time, but at the beginning, Qiao still suppressed the show off in his heart.
Because he wanted to study the new virus in more depth, he first experimented with which animals were more susceptible to the virus, which took a lot of time.
When Ling Xiao saw this, she felt faintly worried: because she didn't know if Qiao would tell others this very dangerous secret.
Once the secret is known to others, it may no longer be a secret, but may become a life-threatening matter. She is a little worried about Qiao.
Until now, Joe has always behaved very well, but the people around him are hard to tell, especially Lydia, who is not a good person in any way.
She continued to flip through it. Qiao's research could be said to have saved Ling Xiao a lot of time. Judging from the diary, Qiao wrote several more papers in the process, but the output was far less than before.
Because he was busy observing the f-virus, he did not inform anyone about this matter. Others generally did not dare to enter his laboratory because he left a danger mark in the laboratory and no one was allowed to enter.
The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth twitched when he found out. Qiao's high IQ could actually do such a stupid thing! This operation gave Ling Xiao his first feeling: There was simply no three hundred taels of silver here.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of interested people, this is a big flaw. Alas! Qiao still underestimates human nature. I'm afraid that his actions will let interested people know that Qiao has made a major discovery.
Of course, Ling Xiao could only sigh, because neither the original owner nor Ling Xiao knew Qiao, and now he was a little worried about the ancients when he was nervous.
After reading the diary, Ling Xiao not only knew that Lidia was in charge of Qiao, but also knew that Qiao had a familiar friend named Green in the research center.
It can be seen from the diary that Green is a programmer. According to Joe, Green is the kind of person who is immersed in coding and doesn't care about other people at all.
Both of them are people who don't like to communicate with others, but maybe because of the same kind of relationship, they are quite in tune with each other.
There isn't even any barrier between them, and they can understand each other's thoughts with just one look.
I'll go! Ling Xiao was a little curious. Could it be that the two of them had his telepathic function?
After she finished complaining, she continued to read Qiao's diary in order to find out more secrets.
The other employees of the research center are just incompatible with the two of them.
Joe often thinks about his own problems while walking on the road.
Didn't notice anyone else passing by at all.
He was quickly dissed.
Green and Joe didn't see each other very often.
Everything is communicated on social software.
The information they exchange with each other is invisible to others.
Joe's diary was protected by Green, and most people couldn't open it at all.
After seeing this, Ling Xiao realized that the computer software in the research institute was probably written by Green.
As for whether Green is that kind of little white rabbit? Ling Xiao couldn't be sure at the moment. Everyone may have another side.
It can be seen from Joe's diary that Joe's temperament is very simple. As for Green, it is difficult to say, because the software he left behind proves that he is not a person who only knows programming. The software crawler he designed has certain stealing functions.
And the most important thing is that the destruction function is also very powerful. It is possible for the computer in the research center to send instructions, so that the robots that control the weapons may kill people mercilessly. This is true.
This made Ling Xiao a little suspicious of Green. Even if he was a programmer, he should know the consequences.
Ling Xiao, who walked around the intersection of death, was a little wary of Green in his heart. Who knew what was underneath the surface?
Ling Xiao decided in his heart to investigate Green's situation and retrieve Green's photo.
It can be seen that this Green is a very pale man.
There is a kind of indifference in the eyes.
Take a moment to determine how he is doing.
I made a mark in my heart.
You should still pay attention to Green in the future.
In addition, this virus turned out to be created by Joe himself.
Ling Xiao didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. Should he tell it?
Because this is not her life at all, this is the original owner's own life.
The original owner is said to be a very strong person with his own career and friends.
Then Ling Xiao has to think more about the issue of not collapsing the character when doing things.
When meeting David and An Qi, who were familiar with the original owner, Ling Xiao paid special attention to avoid being discovered.
Fortunately, the original owner is basically a person with hemifacial paralysis. He is relatively easy to perform and will not be confused for the time being.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and was glad that the original owner did not take the popular route, otherwise the Ling Xiao who came to her would definitely be a cheater. She imagined that her waist* and limbs* were swaying*.
Ling Xiao suddenly realized that she was not very capable of doing it. There was a feeling that if the original owner had this character, she could die. Otherwise, someone would definitely find out that she had changed into a different person. If she changed her character a little bit, that would be fine. It would be okay.
accept.
But if the original owner comes back, he will naturally become a heartthrob again. I'm afraid it will be unacceptable to people. Fortunately, the original owner is also the kind of researcher who is single-minded.
In addition, after Ling Xiao came from Chuan, he met people who were familiar to the original owner, whether it was David or An Qi, and they quickly separated from them.
There is simply no opportunity to communicate with the original owner's acquaintances, so the original owner's personality should not collapse.
Ling Xiao often did not dare to act according to his own temperament, and had to consider the original owner.
Because she can leave, but the original owner will still live in this world.
The original owner living in this world should not want to mess up his life.
She didn't want to make the original owner's life difficult in the future.
Breaking into the research center this time was a bit out of line.
Of course, using hacking techniques, the original owner can get around it with a lot of effort.
After Ling Xiao traveled through time, he only wanted to save the life of his original owner, and other matters were left to chance.
She doesn't understand the rules of this country, and the consequences of not following the rules are that she may be purged.
Ling Xiao will definitely not take part in the current virus incident. Anyway, she has tried her best in the virus incident.
Just when she was thinking wildly, David sent a message. Ling Xiao opened it and took a look. David had just received the news, which was good and bad.
The good thing is that this matter has definitely attracted the attention of people all over the country. It is impossible not to pay attention to it, because in addition to Aiweike City, five small and medium-sized cities such as Marlboro City and York City fell respectively.
In fact, at first, everyone did not really believe that this kind of virus would appear. This must be something in a novel, and it is definitely an illusion.
