The next step, he says, is to make HEG break up not the fluorescent protein gene but one that is crucial for malaria transmission.

他说，下一步是制造一个不在荧光蛋白基因位置断裂而是对疟原虫传播起关键作用的基因。

Swedish researchers said Tuesday what women have suspected all along: that marital woes can often be attributed to men's genetic make-up, linking a common male gene to relationship problems.

婚姻不幸福？瑞典研究人员于本周二称，这往往是男性的基因组成在“作怪”。一项有关男性携带的某种基因与婚姻问题的研究证实了女性一直以来的怀疑。

Working independently, these three men provided the parts that, when put together, enable the elimination of one gene at a time from the genetic make-up of a mouse.

But he said that the reasons for humans becoming addicted to any drug were more complex than simply their genetic make-up, and that a test for any gene uncovered by further research would not necessarily work.

The genome project, which the government began in 1987, aimed to speed the gene-hunting effort by providing the first full map of all 3 billion base pairs that make up human DNA. (It was not necessary, in this effort, to run through all the pairs on each set of chromosomes, or 6 billion pairs.) And because the base pairs come in only four varieties, they are digital and ideal for computer decoding.
