Chapter 287: Discovery of Powerful Genes Part two (2/2)
This discovery shocked the doctor to his core!Normally, cells of different organisms couldn’t coexist peacefully in one body. That is, if a powerful bacterial parasite enters his body, it would usually trigger the human body’s immune system and get attacked or destroyed.
Also, human genes were actually very weak, and if any external genes were introduced, it would destroy the human’s chromosomes and cause death.
However, Jacob actually made the shocking discovery that not only were those genes not destroyed nor did they damage Xu Cheng’s original genes, they actually perfectly integrated into Xu Cheng’s body!
He was an expert scientist in the field of genetics, and for the first time in his life, he encountered a case where a variety of genetic chromosomes existed in one body. The genetic structures seemed to be more precise and powerful.
He then opened up the biological cell data profiles and began comparing with the genes picked up from Xu Cheng’s blood.
What he actually found was that there were DNA sequences that didn’t belong to the human genome inside Xu Cheng’s body, and the sequences were found in other species of animals.
Leaf ants! He looked through his database for a long time before being able to finally find a match. There were also tardigrades, which were known colloquially as water bears!
Jacob couldn’t believe his eyes as he double-checked over and over with the water bear genes that scientists have studied for more than a decade. The genetic sequence was 100% the same, it couldn’t be wrong!
He started breathing faster and faster too.
The most tenacious animal in the world, one that almost couldn’t be killed, was actually these acute little micro-animals named water bears! Why did Jacob recognize the water bear right away? Because the research community has studied water bears for a long time now, and they were no strangers to this cute little creature.
