The Technology Tree of Xueba

May 3, 2023, today will be permanently engraved by the history of science and technology.

Spark scientist Wang Xiaoxiao produces single-celled organisms with vitality in the laboratory of the Gene Research Institute.

This is the first life synthesized by a scientist. It breaks the forbidden zone of life and can dig out the code hidden in the genes of life.

Zhou Yu watched Wang Xiaoxiao doing experiments. He was testing a single-celled organism about the size of a yeast cell with purple flagella on the outside.

This is a single-celled organism artificially named by the scientists, named Cyanophyta. It converts carbon dioxide into starch and stores it in the sun.

It is a single-celled organism that does not exist in nature. It is an artificial life in which scientists synthesize DNA by one base pair.

It has the basic characteristics of all life, that is, survival and reproduction.

Violet algae can absorb carbon dioxide and water into starch through the chloroplast-like structure in the cell, absorbing the energy of sunlight.

It absorbs energy in a plant-like manner and continues to survive.

It can also complete cell self-replication and complete cell reproduction.

Zhou Yu looked at Wang Xiaoxiao who was doing the experiment. He did not expect that Wang Xiaoxiao could do this step and truly make a synthetic life.

Since the last century, scientists have found that the genetic material of most organisms is DNA. Scientists hope to eliminate unnecessary genes and build the simplest life.

Their efforts have failed without exception. The laboratory can synthesize some large molecular proteins, which can graft the genes of one species onto another species.

But scientists can't create DNA by editing DNA.

The laboratory can create life that does not exist in nature, which means that scientists have a complete grasp of the genetic code.

Only by knowing the specific role of which gene and solving all the functional genes can scientists freely splice DNA and form a living individual.

Scientists must understand which genes are responsible for breathing, which genes are responsible for reproduction, which genes are responsible for sensing the environment, and which genes control protein expression. A basic life, there are at least tens of thousands of genes, which control the complex activities of the organism .

These are important components of DNA, and it is impossible to synthesize living cells without understanding the specific role of genes.

Zhou Yu looked at the cyanobacteria, and he understood the significance of the successful synthesis of this species.

Except for HIV, the genetic material of all life is DNA, which is transcribed into ribonucleic acid (RNA).

The ribonucleic acid floats from the nucleus or the center of the cell into the cytoplasm. Except for viruses, every living cell has a ribosome.

The ribosome structure expresses ribonucleic acid as a polypeptide, and the polypeptide forms a protein through spatial folding.

This is how genetic material controls the process of forming proteins.

DNA is an organic compound with a complex molecular structure.

It exists in the nucleus as a component of the chromosome.

The function is to store genetic information. DNA molecules are huge and consist of nucleotides.

The nitrogen-containing bases of the nucleotides are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, and pentose is deoxyribose.

DNA consists of a pair of polynucleotide strands coiled around a common central axis.

The sugar-phosphate chain is on the outside of the helix and the base is on the inside.

The two polynucleotide strands are connected by hydrogen bonding between bases to form a fairly stable combination

Cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine are paired in pairs to form deoxyribonucleic acids, which are abbreviated as "C", "G", "T", and "A", respectively.

The pairing rules are C with G, T with A, C and G are connected by 3 hydrogen bonds, and T and A are connected by 2 hydrogen bonds.

Every three base pairs on DNA are transcribed into three corresponding ribonucleic acids. These three ribonucleic acids correspond to one amino acid, and the amino acids are arranged and combined differently to form a protein with various functions.

Zhou Yu saw Wang Xiaoxiao stop her work, and he hurriedly asked, "Director Wang, what about the species Violetella, depending on its current activity, it has met the conditions for becoming life."

Wang Xiaoxiao's tense expression relaxed and nodded, "Zhou Zhou, Zilanella has been tested by us and it is indeed a kind of life. Our project was successful, and the effect of the gene fragments we found was real and effective."

"We humans have tens of millions of gene fragments, but 99% of the gene fragments are invalid fragments. They do not express any of the proteins that make up the human body.

The success of our project allows us to obtain a genetic scale, effectively verify the condition of human genes, develop medical agents and surgical solutions for human genes, and solve human diseases caused by genetic defects.

This time we only used 50 million base pairs to synthesize artificial life purple algae by experimental synthesis.

This is definitely a great discovery in biological history. If it were not for the quantum simulation computing function of a quantum computer, we would not be able to find out the code of the gene.

Only with the powerful parallel computing capability and quantum simulation calculation function of a quantum computer can a certain amino acid represented by every three base pairs be calculated to produce a corresponding protein.

This is a very complicated process. In the past, supercomputers could not effectively calculate the expression of life, but quantum computers can easily solve it.

I hope that the company will increase the number of quantum computers in the future. I have calculated that the DNA of the purple algae has occupied 90% of the quantum computer resources.

If we study higher-end life again, in addition to the enhancement of quantum computer functions, we can only use multiple quantum computers for parallel operations. "

When Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao's request, he immediately agreed: "It is necessary to increase the number of quantum computers. Zhang Wei has designed the structure of quantum computers.

Quantum computers will soon be ready for industrial production. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com You don't need to worry about this. "

"I'm really worried." Wang Xiaoxiao said with some worry.

"We have figured out the code of the gene through the Cyanophyta project, and we know the two strands of DNA, which strand is used to express the protein, and why is this strand dominated.

Knowing the basic composition of the cell membrane region on DNA, this region of the cell membrane can be quickly found on the DNA of any organism.

We know the genetic code of single-cell ribosomes and other cells. Now we can analyze the genes of the human body as long as we find the secret of multicellular biological cell differentiation and synergy.

The DNA of higher organisms is composed of billions of base pairs, and huge quantum computer resources are required to calculate feasible experimental schemes. "

Zhou Yu heard Wang Xiaoxiao's opinions, and he nodded solemnly: "You wait for me good news, I will let other departments to produce several quantum computers as soon as possible to meet your scientific research needs."
