I Don’t Want to Win Lying Down

Although Editor-in-Chief Pete couldn't understand the content, he saw that the author of this paper turned out to be Xu Mang, who he had missed for a long time. It seems that this week's cover is expected, but... when will he involve the field of biology? up? Or gene editing.

I remember that Professor Wedson seems to be... the editor of Nature Medicine, right? Editor-in-Chief Pete asked seriously, Let him come over and see how influential this paper sent by Xu Mang is.

words fall,

Pete picked up the phone at hand and called Professor Wedson, and the call was connected soon.

Pete?

Why did you call me? Professor Wedson was a little confused, and asked curiously: Do you want to buy me a cup of coffee? But at this time, it doesn't seem to be the time for coffee. If you want to ask me for something If you don't, my office is downstairs from yours, so you won't have to make a phone call, right?

Professor Wedson... please come to my office immediately. Pete said seriously: I received an email here, I don't understand your biology...

Well?

A paper on biology? Professor Wedson was even more confused, and asked curiously: Since it is a paper on biology, it should be submitted to Nature Medicine. How could it be sent to your mailbox? major.

indeed.

This guy seldom submits to other professional sub-journals, he only contributes to Nature, and he is an expert in physics, biology is probably... an interest. Pete smiled wryly: Anyway, come and see Give it a shot, you might be pleasantly surprised.”

surprise?

I'm afraid I'm not disappointed!

Hearing Pete's words, Professor Wedson refused in his heart, but because someone else is the editor-in-chief, he could only go to his office to see the research results of so-called physics experts in biology, but basically Wedson The professor didn't hold out any hope. It's just ridiculous for a physicist to study biology.

...

Editor Pete? The middle-aged man smiled wryly, Professor Wedson must be very reluctant, right?

almost.

However... I have a hunch that he will be shocked soon. Pete said with a flat smile, None of Xu Mang's research results have shocked the world. I believe...in the field of biology. He can do that, too.

Although it sounds nonsense for a physicist to study biology, in Pete's eyes, it is so commonplace, there is no way... He is Xu Mang, so there is such a possibility.

soon,

There were voices of complaints from outside the office door.

I said Pete...what's there to see here? The door was opened, and Professor Wedson said reluctantly: By the way, who is this amazing physics expert? Quit doing your job and go to research What biology, does he know what biology is?

...

...

It seems that this resentment is not ordinary.

Pete said helplessly, This miraculous physics expert is Xu Mang, who with the help of artificial intelligence not long ago crushed all nine representative teams from the United States in the protein structure prediction competition CASP.

suddenly,

Professor Wedson was speechless, it turned out to be this guy...

It's him? Professor Wadeson suddenly realized, with an expression of reluctance at first, but now he became a little expectant, and said, If it's Professor Xu Mang, I'm curious what ideas he provided this time. The 'Xuman System' opened my eyes.

Don't worry! Pete said, I won't disappoint you this time. He seems to have developed a system beyond the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system. I just learned about it briefly, but you also know...my biological level Not enough is known about the field of gene editing.

What!

A system that surpasses the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system? Wedson said with a look of surprise: How is this possible... The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system is currently the most popular and stable system in the world. Beyond, I'm sorry... I don't believe it even if I kill him.

Don't swear! Pete hurriedly said, According to my experience, no one who doubts Xu Mang's research results usually ends well. Wedson... Hurry up and change your mind, otherwise I'm afraid you'll doubt your life. .”

No!

I trust my intuition, the CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing system cannot be surpassed. Professor Wedson said stubbornly: If I lose... Pete, I will treat you to dinner tonight, you can order whatever you want Whatever, I'm willing to pay for it!

good!

That's it! Pete said with a smile, Come on, sit down.

Immediately afterwards,

Pete got up and stood on the side, making room for Professor Wedson.

Professor Wedson sat in front of the computer, glanced at the title of the thesis on the screen - CRISPR-C2c1 Gene Editing System, and immediately fell into doubt, as if writing on the brows what is this?

CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system?

Is it because I am ignorant, or have I been separated from the real world for too long? Professor Wedson said curiously: Why have I never heard of the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system? What is this?

You don't understand, and I don't even know. Pete smiled wryly.

Professor Wedson did not speak, and silently re-projected his gaze to the display screen. The previous few paragraphs were all irrelevant nonsense, talking about the shortcomings of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. Scientists know it.

but,

When Wadeson came to the core content, he felt that his breathing would stop. At this time, he really understood the meaning of the CRISPR-C2c1 gene editing system.

solved?

It was solved?

Xu Mang actually solved a problem that plagued the whole world. He solved the temperature requirement of the working environment, allowing C2c1 nuclease to have a wider range.

Professor Wedson slowed down his reading speed. He didn't want to miss every detail of this thesis because of his urgency. For him at this time, it was like a newborn baby had just arrived in this new world, and everything around him so strange.

My God!

My God!

God...does this...really exist?

Muttering to himself, the old biology professor's eyes were full of disbelief, as if he had seen an unspeakable miracle.

Editor-in-Chief Pete noticed that Wedson was in a trance, as if he had been stimulated by some kind, which made him a little nervous. He didn't want to see Wedson trigger a heart attack because of Xu Mang's research report. If so... this Undoubtedly a tragedy.

Your Professor Wadeson's office, look for any medicine for heart disease... If you have any, bring it here immediately. Pete said to the middle-aged man beside him: Quick!

OK!

The middle-aged man left the office without any nonsense, and he also observed Professor Wedson's strangeness.

Peter!

This... this is simply a miracle! Professor Wedson turned his head, his face was full of astonishment, and said, Xu Mang...he...he developed the most advanced genome editing tool in the world, I ...I'm going crazy...I'm so excited, I...

Professor Wadeson began to speak incoherently, unable to imagine what he saw just now. In short...the future world will change. Cancer will no longer be one of the main killers affecting human health, and cancer will be completely eradicated in the future!

Wedson...I'm more worried about your problem now, you...you don't have a heart attack, right? Pete asked cautiously, Calm your emotions now, I'm afraid you might be hurt by Xu Mang's research Report, trigger a heart attack.

No no no!

Pete...I have died without regret! Professor Wedson said excitedly: This will definitely shock the whole world, and even affect the development of human beings in the next twenty years. The influence of this research report is really It's too big...I now have a strong premonition that the future world will change because of this paper!

words fall,

Professor Wedson asked tentatively: Pete...do you want to put it on Nature Medicine?

no!

This was voted for me, why did you snatch it away? Editor-in-Chief Pete said angrily, Next time... How about giving it to you next time?

next time?

How can there be so many next times? Wedson glanced at Pete, and a professor in his 60s and 70s began to play a rogue: No...you have to give it to me!

you...

I said Wedson... there is no such thing as you, and Nature still lacks a research report on the cover. Pete said helplessly: If Xu Mang submits a paper on biology next time, I will How about you?

finally,

This research report is still on Nature.

At this time,

Pete asked curiously: Wedson...you said that this paper can affect human development in the next twenty years? Are you... a bit exaggerated?

exaggerate?

Then let me ask you... In the future, cancer may be completely eliminated because of this paper. Do you think it is an exaggeration? Super drug-resistant bacteria may completely lose their drug resistance because of this paper. Do you think it is an exaggeration? Wedson said seriously: I'm sure these will happen, so do you think it's an exaggeration to affect human development in the next two decades?

Pete fell silent, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to say, If that's the case...Xu Mang has undoubtedly promoted the entire civilization, but in the future, a world war will break out because of resources.

Won't!

Not in a short time. Wedson shook his head and said seriously: It will take a long time to accumulate experiments, and don't forget that some people who oppose gene editing have been doing it for a long time. Here, this critical technology is pushed into the realm of ethical discussions.

However,

No matter what the future looks like, the only certainty is that this technology is an indispensable key to the development of human civilization.

Pete glanced at Wedson and said seriously: You owe me a meal, don't forget.

...

two days later,

The world was shocked by a research report.
