Chapter 1688 Extraordinary Gene Fragment, a New Advancement Is Here Again!
Gretel would not do such things as using his body to shower high-energy particle streams and absorb energy for the time being. Don’t want to do it, don’t dare to do it, can’t do it. His mental control is far from being so delicate.
So Gretel could 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 world development to promote your own progress——
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 went from floor to floor. The first is the plastic energy department, which is responsible for analyzing the chromosomes of the dragon family, especially those chromosomes selected for transforming dragon-veined creatures.
Every point must be broken, 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." Gretel muttered to himself. The knowledge gained in previous lives, chromosomes, is a stacked code, and every evolution of organisms is recorded in it:
From single-celled animals to coelenterates, from coelenterates to fish, from fish to amphibians to reptiles, and then branched 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 clans, such as silver dragons and red dragons, black dragons and crystal dragons, have more than 99% genetic similarity?
Otherwise, how can we explain that their dependents, coming and going, can only get a few abilities?
In addition to the silver dragon's wind control, water control, and ice breath, the red dragon's fire breath, and the blue dragon's lightning, most of them can get some dragon scales, dragon horns, and strong bodies. These general ability?
And according to their tests, all dragon clans have the same chromosome points that give their dependents general abilities. Grete 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 assigned the research tasks 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, samples from the same location for analysis!"
“Through running the rubber, we can initially conclude 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..."
Gretel raised his eyebrows. It would be great to have results. If the gel running results are the same and the traits are the same after inserting various organisms, we can basically determine that even if they are different dragon families, 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!
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives. A senior priest from the Nature Religion held a large stack of records and excitedly knocked on the door of the laboratory:
"Hey, the results are out! Just as expected!"
"Hey, why is it you?" Master Issei Suer, 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 from the Nature Order is still a teacher - for Gretel's sake, everyone is on an equal footing on a daily basis.
It is basic to call each other by name, and there is not much restraint when we get along with each other. If something happens here, just knock on the door and come over; if something happens over there, just knock on the door and come over. Using honorifics or something like that doesn’t exist!
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 a smile on his face. Elder Erwin was at level 11 when he came to Dragon Island. After several years of intensive research, he quickly advanced to level 12.
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, and grew leaves. In a moment, the dense crown of the tree was like a big umbrella, covering Elder Erwin's head. The branches of the branches 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 you can advance from level 12 to level 13, you have 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 footsteps moved, he immediately stopped:
I can't help much now and in the past, so it's better to listen to the report quietly and then talk about it. With the accumulation of elders, there won't be any big problems in just advancing. The natural aura is always soft, so even if the advancement fails, there should be no danger...
"So, 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, chicken 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 scales. Mice and rats showed signs of scaliness. Keratinization..."
Thank you Nordmark Mage!
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 experiment summary. Well, 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." At this point, Pastor Natural, who came to deliver the letter, couldn't help but admire him.
The nature priests on Dragon Island all work hard, but even among the entire group, Elder Erwin is one of the hardest working people:
Maybe he didn't seize this opportunity until he was old, or maybe he didn't want to embarrass his disciples. In short, Elder Erwin abandoned all rest and entertainment and immersed himself in research work from morning to night, from early morning to late at night.
Work, study, grit your teeth to 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 nature 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 had dissected and laid 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, stimulating them 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, two different cleavages at the same point may result in completely different fragments. Then, the conclusions made last time may not be referenced at all this time...
And Elder Erwin, an old man who is nearly a hundred years old, endured such intense work without saying a word.
"The elders proved that when specific fragments are injected into the sample, the same effect can be obtained. - Therefore, the ones that determine those traits can be smaller units."
Smaller units of course! Gretel closed his eyes. In previous lives, various laboratories were studying 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 about 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 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..."
