I really don't want to lie down and win

moment,

The three young postdoctoral fellows got the information, opened it and read it. In just a dozen seconds, the three of them were completely stunned.

This...

Solve the problem of replacing a certain DNA fragment with the target sequence?

Are you sure you can do it?

impossible!

......

Chapter 737 The Grieving Villain (1/3)

Hard,

Almost unlikely.

After seeing this information, the three young postdoctoral fellows backed off immediately. After all, Xu Mang's proposal to solve the problem of replacing a certain DNA fragment with a target sequence is a false proposition in the world. It does exist, but it cannot be solved. be realized.

"Do you think it's difficult?" Seeing the expressions of the three, Xu Mang knew that they might think they were crazy for making such a request, but these requests were made by others, and he said helplessly, "This is a scientific question." The request issued by the court, so... let's do our best."

Suddenly,

The three of them didn't say anything, and silently accepted the difficulty in front of them that couldn't be completed. If it wasn't Xu Mang standing in front of them, they might have left, but if Xu Mang was standing in front of them, they felt that there might be a chance. .

"Professor Xu?"

“What approach do we take?” asked a postdoc. “Is it the same AI model as before? Using artificial intelligence to give new life to gene editing research?”

Xu Mang shook his head, and said calmly: "I don't know... Maybe, but first we need to complete the theoretical framework for the problem of replacing a certain DNA fragment with the target sequence, and this problem is not the only problem we need to solve. There will always be new problems.”

And new ones?

This...

Segment replacement to the target sequence problem is insanely hard, only to be told it's just one of many.

finally got it working,

However, it never occurred to him that the so-called starting work was repeated experiments, repeated experiments from the CRISPR-Cas9 system, and only recorded the process of each failure. Xu Mang was responsible for checking the process of these errors.

no way,

This was the best way Xu Mang could think of. Through the comparison of the wrong process, he could find an entry point. It was stable for a day or two, but as time passed, everyone's enthusiasm was gradually drained away. Like a picture of the walking dead.

this day,

Less than five days until the school holidays,

Xiao Chen, a postdoctoral fellow, came to the laboratory. He was going to ask Xu Mang for leave in advance today. The Spring Festival was coming soon, so he had to go home early to avoid the peak period of the Spring Festival travel season. However, when he told the other two colleagues his thoughts Only then did I realize...the three of them had the same idea.

"???"

"???"

"???"

Xiao Chen said with a confused face: "The three of us... are we going to go back? What about this... What about this project? Let Professor Xu Mang stay in the laboratory alone? Although he is half a man from Shanghai, But is it too cruel to him?"

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Shen said with a wry smile, "I have to go home, right?"

"Yes."

"After all, it's the Spring Festival, so I should go back. I haven't been back for a year." Xiaoqian, a postdoctoral fellow, said, "Actually, this problem... won't be solved for a while. We've been working on it for a week, and we're still standing still. Why don't we relax? Change your mood."

At this time,

Xu Mang carried a bag of fried buns and two bags of soy milk, and slowly came to the laboratory. Seeing the three of them sitting and chatting together, he asked with a smile, "Have you had breakfast? I bought a lot of fried buns. Shall we eat some together?"

Seeing Xu Mang's arrival,

The three of them didn't know how to speak for a moment, and finally Xiao Chen said: "Professor Xu...I plan to ask you for leave today. I want to go home early to avoid the army of Spring Festival travel. I haven't been back for a year..."

"Professor Xu, I also want to ask for leave."

"Me too."

Facing the three people's request for leave, Xu Mang was not surprised, and nodded with a smile: "All approved, of course I have to go back for the Chinese New Year, by the way..."

words fell,

Xu Mang took out three red envelopes from his satchel, handed them to the three of them respectively, and said seriously, "I planned to give them to you later, but since you are going home today, I will give you the red envelopes now." .”

Suddenly receiving Xu Mang's red envelope, the three of them were surprised for a while, but even more surprised later, the red envelope was a bit exaggeratedly thick, and it was a full 1 yuan.

"This..."

"Professor Xu?"

"The thickness of the red envelope is a little exaggerated!" Xiao Chen said with a serious face: "We can't accept it."

"Take it."

"I don't know how much money is in it. My wife prepared it for me." Xu Mang said calmly, "Take it, take it, it's okay... Who dares to talk nonsense, let him come to me directly, and I'll confront you face to face."

Looking at the three people who parted,

Xu Mang returned to the empty laboratory again. Perhaps this was his own destiny, his destiny to fight alone. He sat in the office, smoking a cigarette silently, thinking about the future, and how to face failure or success.

I have been studying the problem of replacing a certain DNA fragment with a target sequence for more than a week. I have been wandering in a maze, and I can't find any way out. I have been so bumpy in the process of seeking the truth, and the reality is even more cruel.

After thinking about it,

Xu Mang decided to go outside for a walk. Staying in the office for a long time would cause his nerves to collapse.

in the school,

Xu Mang walked all the way to the school gate, and saw that many students were ready to go home, but the scene in front of him made Xu Mang a little melancholy. He came to a coffee shop that was not closed, ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and sat in a window by the window. position, looking at all kinds of people on the side of the road.

perhaps,

On the day of birth, everyone does not know, in fact, this is an unreasonable world.

Some people's dream is the stars and the sea, some people's dream is a house, some people are born with talent, some people are struggling with sweat...you can't lose at the starting line, but some people are always standing at the finish line .

This is the reality, this is the reality with a huge gap, and finally accept the setting that I am just an ordinary person.
