He built a micro-gravity simulator to test how C. elegans would perform in the actual zero gravity of space.

他建造了一个微重力模拟器，来测试线虫在太空失重状态下的情况。

From humans to C. elegans, older individuals have often higher levels of transposon activity.

从人类到秀丽隐杆线虫，年长的个体通常具有更高水平的转座子活性。

Far fewer studies look at these processes in social insects, whose aging takes twists and turns that rival any C. elegans' movements.

很少有研究关注群居昆虫的这些过程，它们的衰老曲折可与任何秀丽隐杆线虫的运动相媲美。

The unusual mechanism of gene regulation in C. elegans was assumed to be a peculiarity of that organism, not relevant to humans or other more complex organisms.

秀丽隐杆线虫中不寻常的基因调控机制被认为是该生物的特性，与人类或其他更复杂的生物无关。

These are two different species of nematodes: the predator is P. pacificus, and its prey is C. elegans. Some hungry pacificus don't stop with different species though.

这是两种不同的线虫：捕食者是 P. pacificus，它的猎物是 C. elegans。不过，一些饥饿的太平洋鱼并不止于不同的物种。
