TERC is almost certainly only the first piece of the genetic puzzle, "he says."

几乎可以肯定的是，TERC仅仅是这个遗传谜团中的第一块拼板，“他表示。”

TERC is likely only one of several genes that influence telomere length, says Tim Spector of Kings College London, who co-led the study.

该研究的掌门人之一，伦敦国王学院的蒂姆斯·帕克特(Tim Spector)认为，TERC可能只是影响端粒长度若干基因之一。

The section of DNA was found on chromosome three, next to a gene called TERC, which makes an enzyme that repairs telomeres when they shorten.

这段DNA位于3号染色体上，与基因terc相邻。基因terc可以制造出一种酶，能在端粒缩短时对端粒进行修复。
