Chapter 121: Start Cultivating Rice
Valley
Yang Tian was still thinking, and suddenly Xiaobao's voice came from his heart: "Boss, the first phase of Xiangyou No. 1 NDA gene map has been produced this morning. Do you want to take a look?"
"What is the first phase of Xiangyou No. 1 NDA gene map made?" Yang Tian was delighted, and the first phase of Xiangyou No. 1 NDA gene map finally came out. This Xiangyou No. 1 was sent by Old Yuan after the Chinese New Year, and two sets of the latest NDA gene maps of Xiangyou No. 1 were sent together. However, this map did not satisfy Yang Tian. Many of the places were very incomplete. Yang Tian had no choice but to ask Xiaobao to make another copy for research purposes.
When Xiangyou No. 1 rice was sent, it was just a grain seed. Yang Tian was busy with the construction of the villa. He only started to cultivate the village less than half a month ago. It took a process to go from grain to seedlings, and the production of the NDA gene map must wait until the seedlings are fully developed before they can be made. Therefore, it was not until now that the real NDA gene map was produced.
Of course, it does not mean that the NDA gene spectrum of Mr. Yuan and others are not good. But after Yang Tian got Xiaobao, he has been using the map made by Xiaobao. The NDA gene map it produces can more clearly show the situation of various recessive genes. These genes cannot be completed in this era, but they are particularly needed.
Each recessive gene is very important for researchers who cultivate. Considering the quality of the grain, it is not just about the dominant gene in front of you. Everyone knows the dominant gene and can make special cultivation optimization for a certain gene. However, the recessive gene is hidden in the rice and may not be displayed now. When encountering a specific situation, it will explode suddenly. This sudden outbreak may bring great losses to farmers and the majority of planting friends.
Yang Tian must do everything perfectly. He doesn't want to study it himself, and the things he cultivates are just a semi-finished product. What's the point of doing this? In the end, it's not himself who lost it. So he never dared to relax or be careless.
"Yes, now our first phase of NDA gene map has been completed. If it weren't for the time limit, I would also like to complete the second phase of the rice after the flowering of rice." Xiaobao is not bragging. It is very simple for it to make the NDA gene map. It is just that due to the haste, we can't wait until the grain seeds bloom. If there is enough time, Xiaobao really wants to make all the gene maps for Yang Tian in one breath.
The DNA gene map of rice is divided into two stages. The first stage is when the seedlings are in the first stage, and the first stage is after flowering and harvesting. The two stages of the map also change very greatly under different environments. For example, some rice grows very well when they were young, but after flowering, they appear empty particles and necrosis. Among them, recessive genes account for a part, and some are affected by the outside world.
Therefore, it is not as simple as Xiaobao said that a set of DNA gene maps, because the climate and environment of each place are different, and the gene mutation conditions are also different. To make a set of DNA gene maps, various environments should be considered. If it is a single picture, then there is no need to cultivate it. Yang Tian just handed the grain to Xiaobao.
Therefore, cultivating grain seeds is a very troublesome thing. Just making this DNA gene map requires a lot of effort. Moreover, it is even more difficult to find the recessive genes inside.
"Xiaobao, you have to eat the rice bite at a time. It would be nice for us to make the first issue of the map so quickly now. Let's go to the laboratory to take a look." Since it was made, Yang Tian also wanted to see the situation of this map, see how many recessive genes there are, and how many weak genes there are.
Weak genes are inferior genes. They are the root cause of the disease of rice and the root cause that affects rice yield. Reducing weak genes and cultivating healthy genes is something that every plant laboratory is doing. Just look at the good or bad seed genes it cultivates, just look at how many weak genes there are in the seed genes it cultivates. Generally, there are no more than three good laboratories, while poor laboratories should cultivate between three and five. If there are more, then this is a semi-finished product and a waste product.
When he arrived at the laboratory, Yang Tian looked at the maps cast by the high-definition resolution projector and sighed. This big laboratory is a big laboratory, and there is only one weak gene. Even if the good guy has Xiaobao's help, he dare not say that he will do better than them.
It is indeed not easy to make up for a weak gene. If you are lucky for one or two years, but if you are not lucky, you may be consumed in it for decades. This is also the reason why seed cultivation requires a test field to make up for genes, cultivate and plant them, then check the genes, and make up for it. One time, two times, three times. In the same test field, the same soil, look for different male plants to make up for the defects of the weak genes of the mother. It starts over and over again, year after year. It can be imagined that the test field is actually a cultivation table and a test table.
"Xiaobao, mark the recessive genes. I want to see what is the problem with this rice that Mr. Yuan is puzzled by." Yang Tian put on a white coat and said to Xiaobao. Since Mr. Yuan can cultivate this rice so well, there is no place that needs to be improved by himself. Since it is not a problem with the dominant gene, Yang Tian had to find the fault of the weak gene to see if there is a problem with the weak gene, which prevented the development of the root system.
"Ok" for more than ten minutes, and all kinds of recessive genes were seen. There were also many notes on it. The good guy looks glamorous on the outside, but it was a bit unsatisfactory inside. Look at the above, there are five recessive genes that Yang Tian knew about, and it is not counted as other recessive genes.
These recessive genes may not be displayed in their entire lives, but once conditions allow, they will not come one after another. This means that Mr. Yuan is not satisfied with Guzhong. It turns out that there are so many uncertain factors in this. Hey, there is no way to start the experiment one by one.
Various gene molecules are different, and the effects and shapes produced under various conditions are different. To understand their role, we must first cultivate this gene, then extract this gene, and finally make relative adjustments or controls for the gene.
Without further ado, Yang Tian was dressed neatly and began to enter the research state. The lights on the door of the laboratory on the second floor also changed from green to red, telling his family that he would not disturb him no matter what he had.
"Xiaobao announced the gene code and began to accelerate separation." Yang Tian's hands were constantly typing on the keyboard. Yang Tian put the plant slices that had been prepared in the gene separator. Just wait for Xiaobao to enter the computer to enter the gene code, the separator can run quickly.
"The gene code is passed to the computer, please accept it." Xiaobao is not idle at this time. First, he has to write the code for each recessive gene, second, he has to choose whether there are still missing recessive genes that are not marked, and third, he has to monitor the separation of the separator.
Yang Tian alone supports a laboratory and it is not that simple. If Xiaobao doesn’t help, he will definitely feel powerless. Xiaobao is like a versatile player. He only needs to override virtually in the air to do things perfectly. He can do things well, which requires more than a dozen people to do well.
So sometimes Yang Tian admires Dr. Lai Caier very much for his ability to develop such a perfect intelligent machine. Sometimes he also wonders what would happen if he didn’t have Xiaobao? Even if Xiaobao is there and there are no such practical functions, what would happen to him?
The gene separator is running quickly, and various data are quickly transmitted to Yang Tian's computer. A group of data is like beautiful notes, which looks particularly fascinating. Yang Tian did not look at the data on the screen, and there is Xiaobao monitoring in this regard, so he doesn't have to worry. At this time, he is checking the gene drawings just printed to see the specific situation of the recessive genes on it.
"Boss, the genes are beginning to be separated." One, two..... In the gene separator, various genes were separated, and after Xiaobao's special summary, one by one flowed into the test tube, and then waited for Yang Tian to come and get it.
"Okay" Yang Tian put down the pictures in his hand, put on his gloves, and began to transfer these extracted genes. The genes are actually very fragile, especially after extraction alone. If you want to maintain good genes, you must have special storage equipment.
In about half an hour, all the genes had been separated. Various data gathered. Yang Tian looked at the newly obtained data in his hand and shouted. "Xiaobao, start gene comparison."
Gene alignment is also called gene sequence alignment. It is based on the genes found now. Compared with the gene database, it depends on whether there is similarity, homology and consistency between them. Similarity depends on the degree of their base complementary pairing, while homology depends on whether it evolved from the same ancestor. Consistency is the same gene products expressed by him, such as amino acid sequences, which are the same. If they are all the same, then you will identify the genes that have been discovered and you will know the role of this gene.
As a gene comparison, this is another very long process. First, the computer needs to process the frequency faster, and second, it requires relatively complete genetic data. In these two aspects, Xiaobao can meet the requirements, but the first aspect is still quite difficult. Although Xiaobao is an intelligent machine, its processing frequency is much higher than that of today's home computers, and it can even be comparable to medium-sized computers. However, no matter how high it is, it cannot be compared with the national-level Galaxy computer. Galaxy mainframes use partitioned computing, and the computing speed is hundreds of millions of times that of medium-sized computers.
Although it is very slow, fortunately, there are not many recessive genes to be analyzed, only more than twenty. As long as you wait patiently for a few days, Xiaobao can compare them perfectly.
