Chapter 1291 The Evolutionary History of Genes

There is a very strange legend between humans and orangutans. Some people claim that the genomes of the two are 99% similar, but this legend is not true.

However, there is another key point of knowledge that Gu Qing received, that is, as primates, orangutans are more sensitive to environmental problems than humans, and express them in real-life activities.

So after establishing the special equipment research and development center, Gu Qing is guiding the special flight equipment pilot function research laboratory to develop step by step in the direction of the animal orangutan.

The ultimate goal is to allow orangutans to live on the moon base with the previous astronauts, and let the aerospace department, biomedicine department, life medicine department and other high-security departments work with the Titan star department to design a system that can ensure that ordinary humans can live on the moon. Normal life, normal technical system products.

Looking at the organs of some male orangutans in the cradle, Gu Qing asked the person in charge to call other free researchers to gather.

He will not bother those R\u0026D personnel who are immersed in scientific research work, because if it affects the progress of the other party's project, or even interrupts some whimsical ideas, it is a painful torture that all scientific researchers of Kyushu Technology cannot accept.

After all the professors, masters and Ph. Be sure to take care of your body, exercise more, and pay attention to a balanced diet.”

The few R\u0026D personnel who were still out of breath immediately straightened their chests after hearing this, and began to take a deep breath, unwilling to leave a bad impression on this top superstar in the scientific research world.

After everyone's breathing was stable, Gu Qing picked up a pen on the test bench next to him, and tapped the helical genome behind him.

He said: "In fact, from the perspective of genome structure, we humans and orangutans are highly complex primates. Unlike the simple genomes of simple eukaryotes like yeast, our genomes are very complex, even complicated to the point of There are a lot of designs that seem useless, but look good and that's all.

Now the academic community has begun to show the public the various purpose editing and combination regulation of coding genes, not only assisting a limited number of genes to achieve quite complex expression patterns, but also deliberately creating genes that have special effects on certain environments and diseases .

We are all scholars in related fields, and we all know that for complex living organisms, genes are not content that can be edited and edited at will like videos and copywriting.

Just like it was difficult for us to understand at the beginning, why our human genome has only more than 20,000 genes, which is just a little more than those insects, but can achieve more functions than animals with the same number of genomes.

Moreover, according to the current genetic test data, the genome sequences of all known major organisms in the Blue Star world are roughly 70% to 90% similar to human genome sequences.

Three percent of the genome sequences of humans and orangutans cannot be compared. According to the observation data obtained by current scientific and technological means, only about 70 percent of the genome sequences are similar, and they are not the same.

Please note that what I have always said is similar and similar. I have always been very interested in subjects such as biomedicine, genetics, and neural signals, so you can rest assured that I am not a layman here to chant scriptures, nor am I here to disturb you experimental project. "

Throw out some knowledge points, and then reveal some knowledge reserves a little bit.

Gu Qing noticed that the cautious look in the eyes of many R\u0026D personnel present has diminished a lot, but it has not disappeared yet.

So he went on to say: "The difference of about 30% has allowed us and orangutans to develop into two civilizations.

From orangutans to humans, from monkeys to humans, and even from the perspective of the evolution of species such as long-lived fish, turtles, and immortal jellyfish in the sea, the survival mode of natural selection in nature has allowed the genes of life to never stop evolving .

After our company's bionic mechanical prosthetics began to conduct human ti experiments, our researchers found that ordinary people who have been trained to use smart products for a long time have slightly more mutated brain genes than those who rarely use smart electronic products, and This part of the gene mutation has no side effects yet.

There is a concept of "primate deceleration" in academia, which believes that the genetic evolution rate of our primates is slowing down, and even some functions are degrading.

One of the projects we have cooperated with Daxia officials is to cooperate with other research teams to deduce the whole genome level phylogenetic tree of modern primates.

In the deduction of this developmental tree, some scholars have proposed that the most recent common ancestor of our primates should have appeared about 64.95 to 68.29 million years ago, which coincides with the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction event.

It is believed that the early radiation of primates may be affected by the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction event, and even when the research team reconstructed the chromosome structure from the common ancestor of primates to the genome of modern humans, they found that the ancestors of primates and our modern Humans all have conserved karyotypes.

At the same time, the research team also found that different primate ancestors had different levels of genome rearrangement rates, and found an overall increase in the level of genomic element variation in the ancestral lineage of the anthropoid order.

For example, the genes of our brain volume, body shape, camouflage hair and other items all have varying degrees of variation

"From the perspective of the field of bioevolution, the higher the species, the larger its brain capacity, which proves that the brain is not only important in general studies, but also related to the various functions that various species can achieve. are directly related.

The African ancient ape has a brain volume of only 452 cubic centimeters, while our modern humans have a brain volume of 1,000 to 1,500 cubic centimeters. The relative brain volume of humans is more than three times that of apes, allowing us to have more thinking ability.

Biological evolution is not the guidance of God, but the efforts of our human beings, growing step by step, one-to-one gene mutation, and a little increase in brain capacity.

For thousands of years, we human beings have been racing and evolving with God.

Even with the support of various smart devices and neural conversion devices, this evolution has not stagnated, but accelerated. "

Following Gu Qing's narration, the eyes of more and more researchers became deep and excited.

Scientific researchers are human beings, not rocks without mood swings.

Looking at the various experimental samples around them, they could no longer calm down.

But at this moment, Gu Qing suddenly snapped his fingers.
