追踪甲基化的能力因而在科学上有其重要性。

The ability to track methylation is thus scientifically important.

而且，甲基化的模式在DNA长链中被聚集到一起，显示了与早期环境相关的后天模式。

Moreover, the methylation patterns were clustered together in large swaths of DNA, suggesting an epigenetic pattern linked to humans’ early environments.

研究发现，孕期中遭到虐待的母亲生下糖皮质激素受体基因被甲基化的幼儿的可能性要比其他母亲高出得多。

They found that women abused during pregnancy were significantly more likely than others to have a child with methylated glucocorticoid-receptor genes.

In some cases that backbone gets methylated and those regions of the DNA that are methylated get treated differently by the cell than unmethylated regions.

一些情况下,主链会甲基化,该甲基化区域的DNA,和未甲基化区域的DNA,会被细胞区别对待
