Because much of the genome of Drosophila is Shared with human beings, learning how nuclear organization is controlled in the fruit fly can apply to human disorders like birth defects and cancer.

因为果蝇和人类有很多基因是共同的，因此了解果蝇的细胞核调控有助于认识人类的疾病如先天性疾病，或癌症。

That may not sound like a long time. However, the researchers remind us that one day in the life of a fruit fly is equal to one human year.

The goal of that was to take for a typical human, or for a typical - in the case of the human genome project maybe you're looking at fruit flies, you want to look at all the DNA in a fruit fly, but to look at the sequence of base pairs that makes up human DNA and write them all out; we'll talk about that later.

这个计划的目的是,建立一个有代表性人类的基因顺序,或者说是典型的人类基因组,就人类基因组计划来说,或许你在研究果蝇,你想观察果蝇内的所有DNA,而人类基因组计划是观察组成人类的,DNA的碱基对顺序并且将它们记录下来,我们不久之后会讨论这些内容
