WEBVTT 00:00:00.087 --> 00:00:03.096 well 00:00:03.096 --> 00:00:06.475 well it was you know as 00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:11.590 typical have really interesting development in that 00:00:11.059 --> 00:00:14.153 I was looking for something else and and you know it was that 00:00:15.053 --> 00:00:18.110 it was a like PCR with the 00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:23.015 the possible the the outcome other solution 00:00:23.024 --> 00:00:27.025 to hypothetical problem that did not exist and I was working on 00:00:27.025 --> 00:00:30.804 trying to sequence single base-pair 00:00:31.029 --> 00:00:35.630 you know then whether call snips today single nucleotide polymorphism 00:00:35.063 --> 00:00:39.082 with because those were medically important now is trying 00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:43.190 to do it with oligonucleotides because Iran 00:00:43.019 --> 00:00:46.025 a lab that made them and we had 00:00:46.025 --> 00:00:50.026 really improve the efficiency with which we made them earn 00:00:50.026 --> 00:00:53.595 the three or four years prior said 00:00:53.829 --> 00:00:56.834 we're making we can make mine faster than the company's 00:00:57.329 --> 00:01:01.750 cedars I word for could use them had seven people working for me 00:01:01.075 --> 00:01:06.128 and I was thinking on you have to cut step down to like about three kids now 00:01:07.028 --> 00:01:09.047 we get the salon omitted devices 00:01:09.047 --> 00:01:12.106 on tonight arm into increase the demand 00:01:13.006 --> 00:01:16.043 for all you can eat I'm so sorry think you know what else can you do with them 00:01:16.043 --> 00:01:19.140 and that it's possible to make if 00:01:20.004 --> 00:01:23.613 a rapid clinical and safer single 00:01:24.009 --> 00:01:27.630 his polymorphism like sickle cell anemia 00:01:27.063 --> 00:01:30.162 was a good example people there that 00:01:30.729 --> 00:01:35.814 back then maybe you going ok Lanigan you take a sample maybe three weeks later 00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:39.604 you know which is monitor agonizing 00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:43.590 other you be nice to have been one shift hospital 00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:46.268 in you and that let you know and I 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.240 I thought oligonucleotides maybe with the answer there were that 00:01:50.024 --> 00:01:53.027 I was really home add as 00:01:53.054 --> 00:01:56.125 other chemists I still make him and 00:01:57.025 --> 00:02:01.104 I really didn't have an appreciation for happy huge dance 00:02:01.329 --> 00:02:05.000 human genome compared to say five thousand base pair 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.005 plasma that I was using isn't serb model system 00:02:09.005 --> 00:02:13.080 and and I was was thinking this method 00:02:13.008 --> 00:02:17.777 require couple organically times wanna miss Serbia control what they would be 00:02:18.569 --> 00:02:19.430 pointed 00:02:19.043 --> 00:02:22.119 right toward each other just like in PCR reaction and 00:02:23.019 --> 00:02:26.027 and then I and I was thinking I mean it really love 00:02:26.027 --> 00:02:29.066 pics sexe nucleotide triphosphates 00:02:29.066 --> 00:02:32.140 mind there's a couple technical problems trying to solve in 10 min 00:02:33.004 --> 00:02:37.025 a the whales in and decide to solve it was to 00:02:37.061 --> 00:02:40.410 use to like run a sort of sham reaction 00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:45.015 first with the oligonucleotides in place in the sample 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:50.390 and then and then I had my break actresses and suffering and again 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.091 and because he was going to use a it is 00:02:53.091 --> 00:02:56.280 not for two not the idea and for the fight 00:02:57.099 --> 00:03:01.152 duplicating the signal but then I realized the side effect to that was 00:03:01.629 --> 00:03:02.980 going to be the house pointed 00:03:02.098 --> 00:03:05.098 double the the signal if 00:03:05.098 --> 00:03:09.194 there were enough like the exit Euclid has available are trying to get readers 00:03:10.094 --> 00:03:12.173 if there are any come in with the same 00:03:13.019 --> 00:03:16.102 that you are driving a man was right he does not have this in your head you 00:03:16.849 --> 00:03:17.560 thinking about 00:03:17.056 --> 00:03:20.083 constantly in and it just realized that there is a way the 00:03:20.083 --> 00:03:24.412 you don't think in the lab as much you know I do you think 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:29.920 I was spending my weekends opinion this in a little cabin 00:03:29.092 --> 00:03:32.491 and I Drive up every Friday night income a concern 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.040 and that's really all the nice things but to a half hours 00:03:37.004 --> 00:03:40.059 and e sorry your 00:03:40.059 --> 00:03:44.147 uydess got some new to me and you can't do anything else 00:03:45.047 --> 00:03:48.073 to think as this when I did most to my thinking 00:03:48.073 --> 00:03:51.120 usually his the day-to-day life in a laboratory 00:03:52.002 --> 00:03:55.291 doesn't allow alive now 00:03:55.489 --> 00:03:59.950 with all these letters in your inbox and use your phone ringing in his own these 00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:01.024 people have to deal with and 70 have 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:07.898 really that kind I'm 00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:09.770 I'll 00:04:09.077 --> 00:04:09.102 of
