Multi-Gene

Chapter 358 - The Genoscope

The Genoscope, otherwise known has the Gene Machine is a laboratory instrument used to examine objected that are too small to be seen by the Microscope.

Most microscope enlarges the object by around a hundred times but the Genoscope goes even deeper than that.

Not only can it be used to examine the genome of a cell, it can also be used to edit that particular cell and even rewrite it.

David had already taken the cell through the first steps of purification and Liquidity. To a Genetist, those steps are simple but are equally important.

But they weren't the most important steps. David breathed in lightly and exhaled. "This process will determine if I can become a Genetist."

His eyes glowed but he calmed him self, he then gazed at the Gynoscope with sparkling eyes. The Genoscope was a two meter long machine that stood at the center of the entire Lab. Making it quite conspicuous.

There were numerous button installed in the Genoscope and some David knew and remember while the other few, David barely knew their usefulness but he didn't really care either because they were not going to be useful for his experiments.

David clicked on a button and a particular space slid put in the open. Without further ado, David unhesitatingly pouted the liquefied organ inside the space, filing it up entirely while emptying the liquid inside the tube completely.

He then clicked on the same button, closing the space that had just slid open, taking the liquid with it inside the machine.

He then clicked on the start button. The Gene Machine shivered slightly and gave a loud humming sound.

David quickly went ahead and placed his eyes on the two big ocular lens of the Gene Machine. At first, he couldn't see anything clearly as the image was just to blurry for him which made it impossible to see a thing.

David removed his gaze from the lens with a squinted eyes and reached for the first Focus control at the side of the machine. He then increased it to the highest level.

The machine gave a slight hum as though responding to David's tuning. After which, it stopped. David then looked into the lens once more.

At first, his vision turned blurry for a few seconds as though adjusting to the change in the environment. His vision then turned entirely black but then, the lighting continued to increase. After which, he could clearly see what he was looking at.

David was immediately in awe of what was currently in his sight. "Beautiful." That was the only way David could explain it.

It was like a whole world of its one. Made up of clusters and structures of multicoloured helixes, chromosomes and DNAs strands. David could see as the helixes seem to form some type of structure and were tightly interlinked to each other to form some sort of complex anatomy.

"So this is what made up a gene." David sighed in admiration as he continued to express his admiration to the world of DNA and Helixes.

But David didn't get carried away by its beauty and forgot why he was here. He had limited amount of times left to practice and experiment to producing a gene serum.

David then withdrew his eyes from the lens and then tapped on a button. An holographic image the popped up before him.

"Which genetic structure do you wish to examine, please choose."

Then a multitude of genetic structures appeared before him. The human ears, eyes, nose, limbs, etc.

Without checking any further, David directly chose the one for the eyes since he was working on a Night vision serum.

It was finally time for the most important part of the experiment. The re-editing of the gene.

Now, the genetic of a particular part of the body although might actually look to be the same, they are actually completely different from one another.

If they were actually the same, then there would be no further need for Genetist as a computer can be programmed to produce as many gene serum as possible.

But every genetic structure isn't the same. For example. The genetic structure that made up that of a woman isn't the same as the ones that made up the eyes of her child.

It is up to the Genetist to figure out a way to overcome the difference in genetic structure and then edit and rewrite it in a safe manner in order not to totally harm the gene.

This was what David was trying to do now. He needed to completely memorize the outer structure of the genetic map that made up the eyes and then somehow Input it directly into the structure of the liquid organ. As for how he was going to do that, it was left for him to decide.

After selecting the eye structure, David placed his eyes in the lens but what he hadn't expect was the massive cluster of Chromosome and DNA strands that appeared in his vision.

This one was more than twenty times larger than the liquid organ he had just examined. The structures was even more complex and David couldn't help but feel a headache coming up.

Sure, he had a photographic memory but even with this memory, it was impossible to completely learn the structure. Even if it was just the outer structure.

It was impossible to do so in a single day anyway. It was just too difficult and complex to commit them to memory.

David frowned at this unexpected difficulty. It was no wonder why it was so difficult to become a Genetist. Just this part was enough to discourage anyone from becoming one.

But David's eyes turned bloodshot. He wouldn't give up that easily and moreover, it wasn't too late to start yet.

David opened up the holographic pad. And began to draw out the structure he had memorised and then gazed into the lens to memorize more.

This continued in for a few more hours until finally, he had memorized more than twenty percent of it.

David then sighed in relief.. "It's going to take less time than I estimated, this is good."
