The human NANOG gene is located on chromosome 12.

人类的 NANOG 基因在 12 号染色体上。

There are eleven other broken copies of NANOG spread throughout our DNA.

我们 DNA 的中还分布着 11 种 NANOG 的受损版本。

This is what we see when we search for NANOG in a chimpanzee's genome.

这是我们在黑猩猩的基因组中寻找 NANOG 时观察到的。

When one scientist discovered a protein that's keeps stem cells forever young, he named it after this place: NANOG.

当一个科学家发现某个蛋白质能使干细胞永久年轻时，他以这一地名 NANOG 命名了该蛋白。

After searching the billions of letters in our genome, we've found ten of these lonely NANOG leftovers in our DNA.

在搜索数以亿记的碱基后，我们在我们的基因组找到十个独立存在的 NANOG 残留片段。

NANOG, like every gene, is copied, from DNA into RNA, letter by letter, before that RNA is used to build a protein.

在 RNA 用来合成蛋白质之前，NANOG 像每个基因那样从DNA 逐个碱基转录成 RNA。

And sure enough, we see one broken copy right next to the working NANOG gene, like a messed up DNA photocopy.

果然，我们发现受损版本刚好和有效的 NANOG 基因相邻，像个混乱的 DNA 复印件。

Now, say you were to read another animal's genome, and you found these very same broken copies of NANOG, each pasted in the very same locations, among billions of letters of DNA.

假设你要读取另一种动物的基因组，在其储存的上亿个的 DNA 碱基中，你会发现那些非常相似的 NANOG 残留片段处于非常相似的位置上。
