At the beginning of July, a large number of optical gene sequencers with a price of less than 300,000 US dollars suddenly circulated on the market. Those institutions or companies conducting gene sequencing research suddenly became ecstatic and hurriedly raised funds to rush to buy them. Many well-known technology media around the world are also rushing to report this matter.

Many people are full of doubts, why all of a sudden, the price of gene sequencers dropped by half?

As the world's largest manufacturer of gene sequencers, Gene Umbrella has naturally received inquiries from all over the world. In this regard, Gene Umbrella is silent.

The chip gene sequencer is a huge leap in gene sequencing technology. Once it is heard, the optical gene sequencer basically cannot be sold. People have to wait until the chip gene sequencer comes out before they buy it.

In addition, Henry does not plan to market the chip gene sequencer in a short period of time.

Naturally, good things should be kept for their own use, and by opening up gene sequencing services to the outside world, a monopoly situation is formed first.

Because, called service, it is actually collecting human genes and creating a DNA database!

Big data is very important not only in the Internet field, but also in the genetic field. There are tens of thousands of human genes, and the genes are different from person to person. There is no way to know which genes are normal genes, which genes are mutated genes, which genes are beneficial to the human body, and which genes are harmful to the human body. . Only by analyzing a large number of comparative data from the side, or can get some clues. Then use some special techniques to track these genes and study how they work.

Gene, to put it vividly, is a kind of coding, that is, through programming, to control the synthesis of proteins. And protein is the basic material that constitutes human cells. Without protein, there is no life. The substance T in Henry's mind is actually a kind of protein...

Time passed quickly, and the development of the chip gene sequencer was completed, and Henry immediately ordered mass production.

At the same time, Henry gave the researchers a week of leave, and after that, he went on non-stop research on the third-generation gene sequencing technology. Henry has always had a grand plan to collect the genes of all living things in the world. Although it is a bit exaggerated, with Henry's strength, at least many known biological genes can be collected. At present, limited to gene sequencing technology is not advanced enough, so Henry's plan cannot be implemented at all!

If we say that gene sequencing technology is sufficiently advanced, and can develop handheld gene sequencing equipment. At that time, users will be allowed to purchase this equipment and collect biological genes. As long as the data after gene sequencing is exactly what is not in the DNA database, then the gene sequencing data can be uploaded successfully. At the same time, the user’s account will be uploaded. Get a funding. In other words, people can make money in this way!

The Gene Umbrella Company has saved a lot of manpower and reduced huge expenses.

After gene sequencing successfully uploads data, it will reward users with a sum of money, but users need to spend money to purchase equipment, which is equivalent to reducing the pressure on the gene umbrella. Henry believes that there will be many people collecting biological genes madly, and it is bound to give birth to millionaires.

The success of these people will certainly stimulate many people.

Who wouldn't want to do such an easy and easy way to make money? Flowers, plants, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, etc., wherever you look at, are "gold"! Maybe you can become a rich man after you come back from a trip to Amazon...

Naturally, more and more people are stimulated to buy hand-held gene sequencing equipment. Among them, many people will certainly not have time to collect biological genes. And with the development of time, the DNA database will become larger and larger. The probability of successful uploading of gene sequencing data will become less and less, and many people will not even earn the cost of purchasing gene sequencing equipment.

Of course, at this time, a new policy has to be introduced, and there is an increase in reward funds. In the past, a successful upload was rewarded with 10 dollars, but now it may be 20 or 30 dollars, or even more. In short, the rarer the gene, the more the reward. In this case, there must be someone willing to collect new biological genes!

Henry has no doubt that one day in the future, a "golden team" similar to online games will appear. Gene Umbrella will organize such a team for more professional work.

…

Another month later, Gene Umbrella finally sold out the remaining optical gene sequencers. At the same time, a thousand chip gene sequencers were produced.

At this time, Gene Umbrella held a global press conference to announce to the world that Gene Umbrella officially launched its personal gene sequencing service.

On August 5th, Henry attended the press conference and took the stage to give a speech.

"Welcome everyone to join the Gene Umbrella conference. The specific process of the personal gene sequencing service launched by Gene Umbrella is. The first step is that customers need to register on the Gene Umbrella official website, place an order, and then we will mail a lancet to you; In the second step, after the blood is collected, send it back to Gene Umbrella Company; in the third step, within one month, the customer can receive the DNA report sent back by Gene Umbrella. In addition, customers can log in to the Gene Umbrella official website and view it in the personal center. DNA report."

"The DNA report allows customers to understand the probability of a certain disease (including cancer) and take preventive measures. If the customer’s relatives are also using the Gene Umbrella service, the Gene Umbrella company can immediately find out and send an email. Inform the other party. This is undoubtedly a great boon for loved ones who have been separated for many years!"

Bang bang bang! !

As soon as Henry's voice fell, the applause immediately thundered, and everyone in the audience showed shocked expressions!

"Mr. Williams, how much does a gene sequencing cost?" Many people couldn't help asking.

Henry smiled and replied: "At the moment, it is 10,000 US dollars a time. But don’t worry, we will make huge adjustments in prices when the scale comes up! At that time, ordinary families in the United States will be able to afford it. !"

Anyone who knows something about gene sequencing suddenly changes their expressions when they hear this price.

Except for Gene Umbrella, the research of major institutions or companies around the world is only the completion of the 22nd pair of chromosomes. It is conceivable that the price of complete human gene sequencing is bound to be extremely expensive, and 100 million US dollars is less. But now, the Gene Umbrella Company actually claims to complete a gene sequencing for $10,000. How is this possible? !

In fact, if Henry did not point out the general direction of the research, the Gene Umbrella Company could only fumble slowly like other companies. In this process, many, many detours would be taken.

At this moment, in the face of everyone's doubts, Henry answered very calmly: "It's very simple, because we have developed a new generation of gene sequencers, whose efficiency is two thousand times that of optical gene sequencers!"

what? Two thousand times! !

Everyone couldn't help being shocked, the news was too shocking.

At this moment, the major research institutions or companies that are watching live broadcasts all over the world are all shocked. It is no wonder that the Gene Umbrella Company is crazy to sell cheap optical gene sequencers. It turns out that there is a better one... At the same time, it is also Gene Umbrella is deeply afraid of its strong scientific research capabilities!

Someone immediately asked at the press conference: "Mr. Williams, does Gene Umbrella intend to sell this new generation of gene sequencers?"

"Not yet," Henry shook his head. "The main reason is that the output is too low. The Gene Umbrella Company is not yet self-sufficient. How can it be sold?"

"When does Gene Umbrella plan to sell this gene sequencer? I believe that organizations or companies that research gene sequencing all over the world must be looking forward to it!"

Henry thought for a while, UU reading www.uukanshu.com then replied: "Gene Umbrella's production plant will expand its production capacity, um...in half a year, it should be available for sale!"

Answering the entire question, Henry also announced the official end of the press conference.

On that day, the major media headlines were all news about the Gene Umbrella Company and Gene Sequencing.

A reporter from "Nature" magazine said: "The overlord gene umbrella company in the biotechnology industry can be said to be against the sky, and its gene sequencing strength is 2000 times ahead of the current world!"

"The Times": "Unraveling the secrets of human genes is no longer out of reach. The biotech giant Gene Umbrella Company held a press conference this morning to announce that they will launch a cross-era personal gene sequencing service, so that anyone can understand their own What is the gene!"

"USA Today" reported: "A new era is coming!!"

PS: There is a time code word, so starting tomorrow, stick to 3 more.
