Chapter 445

At the beginning of July, a large number of optical gene sequencers with a price of less than 300000 US dollars suddenly came into the market, and those institutions or companies carrying out gene sequencing research were immediately overjoyed and rushed to raise funds to buy them. Many well-known science and technology media all over the world are also competing to report this.

Many people are full of doubts, how suddenly, the price of gene sequencer has been reduced by half?

As the world's largest manufacturer of gene sequencer, gene umbrella has naturally been questioned from all over the world. In this regard, the gene umbrella kept its mouth shut.

Chip gene sequencer is a great leap in gene sequencing technology. Once we hear about it, optical gene sequencer can't be sold. People have to wait until the chip gene sequencer comes out.

In addition, Henry does not intend to put the chip gene sequencer on the market in a short time.

Good things naturally need to be kept for their own use. By opening gene sequencing services to the outside world, they will take the lead in forming a monopoly situation.

Because the name of service is actually to collect human genes and build a DNA database!

Big data is very important not only in the field of Internet, but also in the field of gene. There are tens of thousands of human genes, and human genes are different from each other. It is impossible to know which genes are normal, which genes are mutated, which genes are beneficial to human body, and which genes are harmful to human body. Only through a large number of comparative data from the side analysis, or can get some clues. Then we use some special techniques to track these genes and study how they work.

Gene, figuratively speaking, is a kind of coding, that is, controlling protein synthesis through programming. Protein is the basic material of human cells. Without protein, there would be no life. Substance t in Henry's mind is actually a kind of protein

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

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

If we say that gene sequencing technology is developed enough, and we can develop hand-held gene sequencing equipment. At that time, users will be allowed to purchase the device and collect biological genes. As long as the data after gene sequencing is exactly what is not available in the DNA database, the data of gene sequencing will be uploaded successfully. At the same time, the user's account will get a sum of money. That is to say, 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, users will be rewarded with a sum of money, but they need to spend money to buy equipment, which is equivalent to reducing the pressure of gene umbrella. Henry believes that there will be a lot of people crazy collection of biological genes, which is bound to give birth to millionaires.

The success of these people will certainly stimulate a lot of people.

Who won't do such an easy and easy way to make money? Flowers and trees, birds and animals, insects and fish, and so on, where you can see, are all "gold"! Maybe you can become rich after you come back from Amazon

Naturally, there will only be more and more people who are stimulated to buy hand-held gene sequencing equipment, and many of them certainly have no time to collect biological genes. And with the development of time, DNA database will be more and more huge. The probability that gene sequencing data can be uploaded successfully will be less and less, and many people can't even earn back the capital to buy gene sequencing instruments.

Of course, new policies will have to be introduced at this time. There is an increase in incentive funds. In the past, the reward for successful uploading was $10, but now it may be $20 or $30, 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 kind of "gold team" similar to online games will appear. Gene umbrella company itself will organize such a team to do more professional work.

……

Another month later, the gene umbrella finally sold out the rest of the optical gene sequencer. At the same time, 1000 chip gene sequencers were produced.

At this time, gene umbrella held a global conference to announce to the world that gene umbrella company officially launched personal gene sequencing service.

On August 5, Henry attended the conference and gave a speech.

"Welcome to the launch of gene umbrella. The specific process of the individual gene sequencing service launched by gene umbrella is as follows: in the first step, customers need to register on the official website of gene umbrella and place orders, and then we will mail a blood sampling needle to you; Second, after blood collection, send it back to gene umbrella company; Step 3: within one month, customers can receive the DNA report sent back by gene umbrella. In addition, customers can log in to the official website of gene umbrella and view the DNA report in their personal center. "

"DNA reporting allows customers to understand their probability of suffering from a disease (including cancer) and take preventive measures. If a customer's relatives are also using the gene umbrella service, the gene umbrella company can immediately find out and send an email to inform the other party. This is undoubtedly a great blessing for those who have been separated for many years! "

make love!!!

As soon as Henry's voice fell, he burst into applause, and everyone under the stage looked shocked!

"Mr. Williams, how much is the cost of a gene sequencing?" A lot of people can't help asking.

Henry laughed and replied, "for now, it's ten thousand dollars a time. However, don't worry, we will make a huge adjustment in terms of price! By then, the average American family will be able to afford it! "

Anyone who knows something about gene sequencing suddenly changes his face when he hears about the price.

In addition to the gene umbrella company, the research of major institutions or companies around the world only completed the sequencing of the 22nd pair of chromosomes. It can be imagined that the price of complete human gene sequencing will be extremely expensive, and 100 million US dollars will be less. But now, the gene umbrella company actually said, 10000 dollars to complete a gene sequencing, how is this possible?!!

In fact, if Henry did not point out the general direction of research, gene umbrella company can only slowly explore like other companies. In this process, it will take many detours.

At the moment, in the face of public doubts, Henry calmly replied: "it's very simple, because we have developed a new generation of gene sequencer, which is 2000 times more efficient than the optical gene sequencer!"

what? Two thousand times!!!

People can't help but be shocked. The news is too shocking.

At this moment, all the major research institutions or companies around the world watching the live broadcast are shocked. No wonder gene umbrella company madly sells cheap optical gene sequencer. It turns out that it has a better one... At the same time, it is deeply frightened by the powerful scientific research strength of gene umbrella company!

At the press conference, someone immediately asked, "Mr. Williams, is gene umbrella going to sell this new generation of gene sequencer?"

"Not yet," Henry said, shaking his head. "It's mainly because the production is too low. Gene umbrella company can't be self-sufficient. How can it be sold?"

"When does gene umbrella plan to sell this kind of gene sequencer? I believe that organizations or companies all over the world studying gene sequencing must be looking forward to it! "

Henry thought about it for a while, and then replied, "the production plant of gene umbrella company will expand its production capacity. Um... In half a year, it should be available for sale!"

To answer the whole question, Henry announced the official end of the press conference.

On the same day, the headlines of major media were about gene umbrella company and gene sequencing.

A reporter from Nature magazine said: "gene umbrella, the dominant company in the biotechnology field, can be regarded as an adverse event. The power of gene sequencing is 2000 times ahead of the current world!"

The times: "it's no longer out of reach to unravel the secrets of human genes. Biotechnology giant gene umbrella announced at a press conference this morning that it will launch a cross era personal gene sequencing service. Anyone can understand what their genes are!"

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

PS: there's time to code, so from tomorrow, stick to 3 more.
