This technology could specifically target genes that are associated with aging.

这项技术可以专门针对那些与衰老相关的基因。

The company that developed the treatment is testing it for several other diseases by changing the target gene.

开发这种疗法的公司正在通过改变目标基因来检测其他几种疾病。

So that means when Cas9 sits down on the target gene, it just chills there and prevents its transcription.

那意味着（在这种情况下）当Cas9结合到靶基因时，它只会停在那里并阻止其转录。

That the target gene is found in both fruit flies and Aedes suggests it is likely to exist in other disease-carrying mosquitoes, too.

在果蝇和伊蚊中都发现了目标基因，这表明它可能也存在于其他携带疾病的蚊子中。

Depending on the study, they did this by either using AAV to inhibit their target gene or CRISPR to cut it out completely.

根据这项研究，他们要么使用 AAV 来抑制目标基因，要么使用 CRISPR 将其完全切除。

It targets the genes that make the antibody's binding site.

它靶向构成抗体结合位点的基因。

It allows us to target a particular gene in a particular kind of cell.

它使我们能够针对特定类型细胞中的特定基因。

Such genes are said to drive, and so the name " gene drive." Our most promising strain affects female fertility by targeting a gene called doublesex.

这类基因被称为驱动基因，因此得名“基因驱动”。我们最有希望的菌株通过针对一种名为双性基因的基因来影响雌性生育能力。

It has a ton of potential for treating genetic diseases, and researchers are also looking into ways to use it to target the genes and proteins involved in different types of cancers.

它具有治疗遗传疾病的巨大潜力，研究人员也在研究如何利用它来靶向与不同类型癌症有关的基因和蛋白质。
