It's a mechanism that they have evolved in order to prevent foreign genes from entering a cell and being expressed.

它们进化出这种机制来,防止异源基因进入细胞并表达

This concept of introducing foreign genes, genes that are made of recombinant DNA into animals using this kind of technique is widely used in biomedical research.

这种通过基因重组,来向动物体内导入外源基因的方法,广泛应用于,各种生物医药的研究中

Taking foreign genes, genes that aren't naturally expressed or might not even exist inside a cell and putting them there and putting them there in a way where they work, and by work meaning the gene gets expressed or translated into a protein.

将异源基因,即那些在细胞中原本不表达或者,根本不存在的基因转入细胞并让它们工作,工作就是指让基因持续表达并合成蛋白质
