The vast majority of a person's DNA sequence will be the same as every other person's.
公众对于植物基因学的争论几乎全部聚焦于转基因的正负两个方面的影响，绝大多数是负面影响。 转基因通常就是把一个种属的基因注入到里一个种属里。
The public debate on plant genetics focuses almost entirely on the pros and cons (mostly cons) of genetic modification—putting a gene from one species into another.
尽管一个个体的大多数细胞都有同一套基因组，但是在每个细胞里不是所有的基因都起作用。
Though most cells in any individual have the same set of genes, not all of these genes are active in any given cell.
我们大多数没有那些可使我们变得具有创造性的基因，家族，智慧或者教育。
Most of us do not have the genes, family history, intelligence, or education to be creative.
我并不是唯一一个感到矛盾的人：虽然大多数美国人都想知道自己的基因背后隐藏着什么信息，但只有不到100 000人最终购买了这项产品。
I'm not the only one who's ambivalent: while most Americans are curious to learn what's in their genes, fewer than 100, 000 have actually bought the scans available to them.
他断言智力是由基因决定的，但大多数人认为这只是部分正确的。
He decided that intelligence is determined by our genes, which most people agree is partially true.
不过导致大多数疾病的过程并不能归咎于一个单一基因的缺陷。
The processes that lead to most diseases are not, however, the result of a single genetic failure.
但在自然界大多数种群中，很难判断遗传是否源于DNA序列改变或者表观基因变异。
But it's hard to tell in most natural populations whether inheritance is due to DNA sequence variation or epigenetic changes.
而大多数的白色蝴蝶在颜色决定基因上是杂合的，因此不具有求偶上的颜色偏好。
White male butterflies, most of which are heterozygous at the gene that controls color, show no color preference.
好消息是，根据对动物的研究，只有30%的老化现象以基因为基础，这说明我们手中掌握着大多数其它变量。
The good news is that according to animal studies, only about 30% of aging is genetically based, which means that the majority of other variables are in our hands.

So in the last decade, a large number of genomes have been added: most human pathogens, a couple of plants, several insects and several mammals, including the human genome.
人类的大多数变异基因都是中性的，这意味着变异之所以被激发不是出于自然选择，而是由于产生了良性变异或染色体在复制时候发生了混乱。
Most variation in the human genome is neutral, meaning that it arose not by natural selection but by processes like harmless mutations and the random shuffling of the genome between generations.
在同一句话中提到“生物学”及“行为”，多数人想到的是基因以及环境与遗传的恼人问题。
Say "biology" and "behaviour" in the same sentence, and most minds think of genetics and the vexed question of nature and nurture.
