Chapter 1683 Extraordinary Gene Fragment, a new advancement is here again!
Using his body to shower high-energy particle flows and absorb energy is something that Gretel still won't do for the time being. He doesn't want to do it, he doesn't dare to do it, and he can't do it. His mental control is far from being so delicate.
So Gretel can only find another way, or in other words, walk on the upright road for himself. Do research, do research, use research, and use the feedback brought by promoting the development of the world to promote his own advancement——
At least so far, the feedback given to him by the will of the world is quite satisfactory!
"How is the analysis of dragon chromosomes going?"
He inspected the floors one by one. The first was the plastic energy department, which was responsible for analyzing the chromosomes of dragons, especially those chromosomes selected for use in transforming dragon-veined creatures.
Every point must be broken and broken into countless pieces.
Based on the position of each segment in the gel, determine whether the fifteenth point of the third chromosome of the silver dragon Vaska and the fifteenth point of the third chromosome of the red dragon Anxi are the same.
thing……
"I think it's very possible that they are actually the same." Grete muttered to himself in a low voice. The knowledge gained in the previous life, the chromosome, is a stacked code, and every evolution of living things is recorded in it:
From single-celled animals to coelenterates, from coelenterates to fish, from fish to amphibians and then to reptiles, and then divided into two branches, one road leads to birds and the other leads to mammals.
The genes of humans and cows are 80% similar, and the genes of humans and chimpanzees are 99% similar. It is said that the chromosomes of humans and bananas are 60% similar!
So, maybe two different dragon races, such as silver dragon and red dragon, black dragon and crystal dragon, have a genetic similarity of more than 99%?
Otherwise, how to explain that their attributes, going back and forth, can only get a few abilities?
In addition to the silver dragon's wind control, water control, ice breath, the red dragon's fire breath, and the blue dragon's lightning, most of them can get some dragon scales, dragon horns, strong bodies, these general
ability?
And according to their tests, the parts of the chromosomes that give the general abilities to all kinds of dragons are the same. Gretel has reason to believe that they are actually the same gene...
But speculation is speculation, and proof is proof. Gretel did not tell the researchers these speculations, but only gave them the research task and let them figure it out on their own.
And Gretel, who had waited patiently for a long time, finally got his reward. After nearly a month, when he stepped into the research room today, three magicians rushed to report to him:
"Recently, 12 points were analyzed! We used metal dragons, color dragons, gem dragons, three major categories, at least 15 kinds of dragons, and samples from the same location for analysis!"
“Through running the rubber, I initially concluded that they are the same point!”
"After we extract these points, we will send them to the Natural School for further testing! They will insert these samples into various organisms, culture them, and observe their characteristics... The results should be available in the next two days..."
Grete raised his eyebrows. It would be great to have results. If the results of the gel run are the same, and after inserting various organisms and observing the same traits, it can be basically determined that even if they are different dragons, most of the chromosomes are the same.
With this conclusion, when they carry out targeted enhancement of dragon eggs and hatchlings, they don't need to try to test the chromosomes one by one, they can just enhance them directly!
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. A senior priest from the Nature Religion held a large stack of records and knocked on the door of the laboratory excitedly:
"Hey, the results are out! Just as expected!"
"Hey, why is it you?" Master Yinses Sur, the eldest disciple of Master Philbi and the leader of this laboratory, blurted out and asked:
"Not Erwin——Elder?"
He glanced at Gretel quickly, sincerely thanked himself for his quick response, and added the title "Elder" after his name.
Elder Erwin is working on the targeted enhancement project, and Elder Erwin is usually in contact with them and has repeated discussions with them.
He himself is level 15, and Elder Erwin is only level 12. Although the elder is Gretel's teacher - even the enlightenment teacher in the Nature Order is a teacher - for Gretel's sake, everyone's daily Sit on an equal footing.
Calling each other names is basic, and there are not many restrictions when getting along with each other. If something happens here, just knock on the door, and if something happens over there, just knock on the door. There is no need to use honorifics or anything like that!
But in front of Master Nordmark, this is not a good thing...
"Ah, Elder Erwin has realized something and is in retreat." The visitor smiled with joy. Elder Erwin was at level 11 when he came to Dragon Island. After several years of intensive research, he quickly advanced to level 12. class.
Now, after completing the previous batch of verifications, he had another important realization. He poked the oak stick into the forest clearing, sat down next to the oak stick, and immediately began to meditate.
The oak staff took root, sprouted branches, grew leaves, and whiskers. In a short while, the dense crown of the tree was like a big umbrella, covering Elder Erwin's head. The branches of the tree drooped, covering him inside and blocking out all interference from the outside world.
Looking at this posture, it seems that he is about to advance again!
If he can advance from level 12 to level 13, he has crossed a big step and can directly come into contact with the 7-ring magic. The cleansing of the body by the natural breath will also add a lot of life to him!
"Really? The teacher is in seclusion?!" Grete's face was full of surprise. He subconsciously took a step towards the door and rushed directly to the elder's retreat. As soon as his steps moved, he immediately stopped:
I can't help much now, so I might as well listen to the report quietly and then talk about it. With the accumulation of elders, there won't be any big problems with just advancing, and the natural aura is always soft, so even if the advancement fails, there shouldn't be any Danger……
"Then, what results did he achieve?"
"Elder Erwin presided over the research and inserted the samples sent into level 1, level 2, and level 3 demon frog eggs, demon lizard eggs, pseudo-dragon eggs, eggs, and various bird eggs."
Gretel asked, and the natural priest who came to report immediately turned a page in the record book and quickly glanced at the summary at the beginning:
"As well as in mice, rats, piglets, and puppies. Samples from different dragon clans with the same points show the same traits in the same animals——
For example, Sample No. 1 showed thicker scales on the devil lizards and pseudodragons. After the eggs and various bird eggs hatched, the feathers showed signs of scaliness. Mice and rats showed signs of scaliness.
Keratinization..."
Thanks Master Nordmark!
Thanks to him for getting a large amount of fresh flesh and blood from the Dragon Clan!
With these fresh flesh and blood, they can extract a large number of chromosome samples and conduct experiments one by one on dragon species and one point at a time...
Grete listened patiently and quickly read the summary of the experiment. Yes, the idea is clear, the experimental group and control group are clearly set, and the research method is rigorous.
"So, after the teacher completed these experiments, he gained insights?"
"Not exactly." Having said this, Pastor Ziran, who came to deliver the letter, couldn't help but feel a little admiration.
Everyone on Dragon Island’s Nature Priests works hard, but even among the entire group, Elder Erwin is one of the hardest working people:
Perhaps he did not seize this opportunity until he was old, or perhaps he did not want to embarrass his disciples. In short, Elder Erwin abandoned all rest and entertainment from morning to night, and immersed himself in research work.
.
Work, study, bite the bullet and read those difficult books, those papers that you can't understand, and shamelessly go to people for advice...
Keep thinking, keep improving research methods, keep looking for possible breakthrough points...
"Elder Erwin feels that those extraordinary points may be more subdivided." The natural priest who sent the letter looked around and nodded gently to the energy evocation mages in the research room:
"He sought the help of various archmages and obtained the chromosome fragments that they split and lay in the gel. Then, he injected these fragments, piece by piece, into various samples..."
A gentle intake of breath.
A transcendent point is cracked open with drugs, stimulated to run forward in the gel, and finally separated into segments - usually, between ten to thirty or forty segments.
The fragment between verifying the extraordinary point and verifying the point means a difference of ten times, or even a difference of thirty or forty times in workload.
If there are differences in the cleavage process, at the same point and two different cleavages, completely different fragments may be obtained. Then, the conclusions made last time may not be referenced at all this time...
However, Elder Erwin, an old man who is nearly a hundred years old, endured such intense work without saying a word.
"The elders proved that the same effect can be obtained by injecting specific fragments into the sample. - Therefore, the ones that determine those traits can be smaller units."
Of course it is a smaller unit! Gretel closed his eyes. In his previous life, various laboratories were researching specific gene fragments: exploring, cutting, pasting, and cultivating them.
How to replace part of the adenovirus gene with the spike glycoprotein gene to make a recombinant adenovirus vaccine? How to find special disease-causing genes for cancer-related treatments...
It's all based on this idea. He knew early on that the point classification method was too rough and could be made more refined!
No wonder, with such a discovery, no wonder teachers can get a lot of feedback!
This advancement is stable!
"Then what are your thoughts next?"
"The elder has read Archmage Philby's latest paper... The elder hopes that when the microscope is improved, he can use the microscope to observe these fragments..."
