Chapter 580

"The gene sequencing project is going on. It's just a while before we get off work. Let's have a short meeting." Yang Rui took advantage of the heat and called the people together.

Yao Yue and Yao Le, who originally wanted to say something, had to shut up.

Bian Jianming didn't go either. He just stood a little farther away to see what Yang Rui said.

"The number of people in our laboratory has increased, which is gratifying." Yang Rui raised his posture and said: "with the increase of personnel and funds, the experimental projects and achievements should also be increased. Therefore, next, I want to divide the projects in the laboratory into two and a half groups."

"Two and a half groups?" When several people heard Yang Rui's words, they didn't seem to notice the significant change that he was going to rebuild the laboratory project.

As a matter of fact, everyone has noticed that Yang Rui wants to re divide the laboratory project, but no one has come forward to be a leader. The so-called scholar rebellion can not be achieved in ten years. If it is in the factory, any change of orders from the cadres who lack prestige may arouse strong opposition from the workers, but in the laboratory, intellectuals generally do not confront head-on.

Yang Rui sharpened his knife a little through Bian Jianming, and with a little bit of prestige, he said: "let's talk about two groups first. The first group is the interacting protein group, led by Professor Xu Zhengping, and his two students continue to work as assistants for him. The second group is the gene sequencing group. I am in charge of this group. Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong, you two help me, and Yao Yue is also included in this group. "

"Yes." Yao Yue crisp back a sentence, let the dull laboratory slightly restored a little vitality.

Fan Zhenlong can't wait to ask: "what about the remaining half group?"

"For the remaining half of the group, we started with literature accumulation, that is, we made theoretical reserves first, and did not carry out the project for the time being. Similarly, I am still in charge of this group. Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong, you two also join this group. You can find your spare time to collect information and prepare for the project. Whoever makes the experiment plan that I am satisfied with first will be in charge of the project. " Yang Rui draws a big attractive cake.

Do scientific research, once out of the student state, will be eager to pursue independent leadership project. For researchers, independent leadership is also a standard, the dividing line between dogs and people. Before the independent leadership of the project, no matter how large the project is and how much the funds are, it's also the master's project. It's the boss's achievement. Although you can learn a lot, no matter how well you do, it's just an experienced dog.

Leading the project independently means that all the honors and Disgraces of the project come from yourself, and the scale of the project is second, so the sense of achievement is hard to express.

Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong come all the way for an interview, and they enter Yang Rui's laboratory with great difficulty, in order to achieve something. "What project?" they asked almost in unison

"Cloning. For the time being, it's gene cloning. " Yang Rui gives a very attractive word.

Fan Zhenlong and Su xiankai hesitated.

This project is a little too big.

The bigger the project is, the better. Only young and ignorant children dream of landing on Mars all day long. However, people who are engaged in scientific research have to blow their heads off when they think about numerous topics in the process.

Just saying "what to eat" will probably keep biologists busy for more than ten or twenty years, refining and refining. Just asking about the changes in the growth period of a Chinese cabbage on Mars can make a world-class plant laboratory crazy - germination stage, seedling stage, rosette stage, heading stage, dormancy stage... Just studying one of the growth periods, It seems to be able to publish dozens of "science" feeling, however, the reality is that there is no one, because no one research results! It's too damn hard!

What is the sense of achievement for a project team to set such a huge goal? The source of funds that project teams care most about is often limited patience.

No matter whether the funding of the project team comes from the government, institutions, non-governmental organizations or individuals, the long-term endurance time of normal human beings is calculated in years, while things like the Mars project, calculated in ten years, are great achievements. If there is no huge scale, any similar project will slowly wither after the enthusiastic expectation cools down.

Cloning is a major branch of biological science, and it is also a hot topic among the hot frontier topics, which also means that it will have huge supporters and countless scientific research competitions

Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong looked at each other's small bodies, and their feelings of self-confidence filled the air.

Xu Zhengping also said: "interacting proteins, gene sequencing and cloning are all the big topics in the forefront of biology. Based on the current situation of our laboratory, I think it is very difficult to focus on one, and carry out three at the same time..."

He didn't have to finish what he said. Later, Yang ruinao added "ha ha".Of course, what Xu Zhengping said can't be more correct.

For normal people and normal laboratories, it is difficult to pull out one project in depth, and it is a waste of resources to do three projects at the same time.

But for Yang Rui, it takes a lot of time and energy to go deep into a project, especially for a particularly in-depth topic. He has no relevant data in his mind - Yang Rui also read a lot of data and read many monographs, just like most graduate students. But if you want to go deep into a certain project and then go deep into the world's top level, it's not a very popular point. Yang Rui can't say that he has seen the whole.

Without the data in his mind, Yang Rui doesn't think he can have much advantage over the first-class laboratories in China - if he can't continuously establish the advantages, the resources will be less and less, then his laboratory will turn from a virtuous circle into a vicious circle, and eventually die.

On the contrary, if Yang Rui can build a strong enough advantage, but can in turn attract high-quality calf and even ordinary cattle to join, at this time, it will enter Yang Rui's rhythm again. He may lack in-depth knowledge of a certain research direction, but he can easily find a "meeting minutes" and other things in his mind, and then he can grasp the names of a large number of Mavericks. Finally, if his laboratory reaches the level of domestic first-class laboratory, he will have the opportunity to collect domestic first-class experts, and his laboratory will reach the international top laboratory, He will have the opportunity to collect top international experts. Such a model belongs to Yang Rui.

Therefore, even if what Xu Zhengping said is reasonable, Yang Rui, who has a full understanding of himself, will not take his advice. Instead, he politely insists: "the project team of interacting proteins is still the main direction of our laboratory. But I don't want to give up on gene sequencing. I'm still interested in it. The gene cloning team doesn't need much money except to buy books. I think it's more suitable as a supplement. "

In the past, the project of interacting proteins was led by Yang Rui, and the previous published papers were signed by Yang Rui as the corresponding author and the first author, which is equivalent to taking away most of the honors.

Now, Yang Rui is promising to hand over the project of project action protein to Xu Zhengping, who will be wise and silent after a little consideration.

As an associate professor, Xu Zhengping used to lead an independent research group in other people's laboratories. When he came to Yang Rui's laboratory, of course, he had to have his own independent research group.

When Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong saw it, they naturally nodded their heads and asked, "if cloning, is there a definite direction?"

"Don't set the direction for the moment. You should start with gene cloning. Now it's the stage of knowledge accumulation. You should learn how to clone first. When we start the project, you will be able to give full play to your strengths. At that time, those of you who are more familiar with cloning will lead the team. " Yang Rui skillfully paints big cakes.

Bian Jianming couldn't help laughing any more. To Yang Rui, it was a bit like the laughter of the literati who were taken to the execution ground.

Yang Rui glanced at him silently and said, "I just don't ask why I laugh." what do you do.

Yang Rui didn't ask, and no one else would, so Bian Jianming was surrounded by the crowd.

Bian Jianming was a little embarrassed, his momentum subsided, lowered his voice, and said: "as far as I know, cloning is the top research in the world today. It's very interesting that you reserve what you say."

Yang Rui picks his eyebrows, but he is too lazy to explain.

Xu Zhengping coughed and said: "Yang Rui's previous paper published on cell is the method of cloning mutant genes, which not only cloned genes, but also cloned mutant genes."

Seeing Bian Jianming's tongue tied and unable to speak, Xu Zhengping sighed and said: "young people should learn more, see more and speak less, accumulate knowledge and life experience. OK, you can wash the flask. You don't want to attend the laboratory meeting for the time being."

Su xiankai laughingly looks at Bian Jianming and goes away dejectedly. He says that he has offended the director and deputy director of the laboratory in one breath, which is really a skill.

Yang Rui turned around and began to assign the task of gene sequencing.

For him, PCR, a Nobel Prize research, is the first priority. Gene sequencing can not be said to be the precursor of PCR, but can only be said to be an indirect assistant. No matter from the academic or commercial point of view, gene sequencing and PCR are not directly related.

But for Yang Rui, PCR is too important. Although it is impossible to win the Nobel Prize at once, the possibility itself can bring countless resources.

Yang Rui didn't want to waste the manpower of Huarui laboratory, but also wanted to ensure safety, so he simply transferred the job to the ion channel laboratory. Anyway, it was all basic research. As long as he wrote a paper, the results would be available.Xu Zhengping is more than 40 years old. He is old or young. If he is asked to study again, it will be more or less difficult. For researchers of this age, it's the best to do research on the basis of their existing knowledge. It's really a bit demanding to relearn a new category and enter the research state again.

In contrast, Su xiankai and fan Zhenlong are younger. They gather around Yang Rui and listen to him explain their project plan. After a while, they are very happy.

"Yes, I think so." Fan Zhenlong flatters, his eyes shining.

Yang Ruixin said: of course, it's feasible. This is the experience that others have already made. OK.
