Illumina is the largest gene sequencing company in the world.

Illumina 是全球最大的基因测序公司。

So that when it finds a specific gene sequence, it makes a cut at that precise point in the DNA.

因此，当它找到一个特定的基因序列时，它会在 DNA 的那个精确点进行切割。

Further analysis comparing 10 bat and 17 non-bat mammalian NLRP3 gene sequences confirmed that these adaptations appear to be bat-specific.

进一步分析比较了 10 个蝙蝠和 17 个非蝙蝠哺乳动物 NLRP3 基因序列，证实这些适应似乎是蝙蝠特有的。

Scientists in Britain have completed the world's largest gene sequencing project in health care, which is hoped will revolutionize medical treatment for people with cancer and rare diseases.

英国科学家完成了世界上最大的卫生保健领域的基因序列测定项目。有人希望这个项目能为癌症和稀有疾病患者带来变革性的医学治疗。

And within one particularly warm pile of rotting leaves and branches, they found gene sequences for powerful degrading enzymes known as Leaf Branch Compost Cutinases.

在一堆特别温暖的腐烂树叶和树枝中，他们发现了称为叶枝堆肥角质酶的强大降解酶的基因序列。

Illumina suddenly got very interested in it and thought this could be a revolutionary technology which fits very well with its gene sequencing business.

Illumina突然对它产生了浓厚的兴趣， 并认为这可能是一项革命性的技术， 非常适合其基因测序业务。

As investors began to look at this, you know, they felt that what's this gene sequencing company doing, buying a sort of niche cancer test company.

当投资者开始关注这一点时，他们觉得这家基因测序公司在做什么，购买了一种利基癌症测试公司。

Picture what that could mean for Illumina, a company that would not only have a near monopoly on gene sequencing technology, but also a major cancer screening test.

想象一下这对 Illumina 意味着什么，这家公司不仅几乎垄断了基因测序技术，而且还拥有主要的癌症筛查测试。

This acquisition, valued at $8bn, was presented as a way for Illumina, a company that makes gene sequencing machines to corner a new market in the realm of cancer screening and detection.

此次收购价值 80 亿美元，是 Illumina 公司抢占癌症筛查和检测领域新市场的一种方式。 Illumina 是一家生产基因测序仪的公司。

Gandhi and his fellow bioengineer Ryan Pandya, who are the co-founders of a start-up called Perfect Day, equip fungi with gene sequences used by cows to produce certain milk proteins, such as whey protein.

Gandhi 和他的生物工程师同事 Ryan Pandya 是一家名为 Perfect Day 的初创公司的联合创始人，他们为真菌配备基因序列， 奶牛使用这些基因序列来生产某些乳蛋白， 例如乳清蛋白。

So basically regulators looked at Illumina's dominant position in the gene sequencing market and they felt that if it was allowed to buy Grail, it would really hamper competition in this emerging area of multi-cancer early detection testing.

因此，基本上监管机构着眼于 Illumina 在基因测序市场的主导地位， 他们认为，如果允许其收购 Grail，这确实会阻碍多癌症早期检测测试这一新兴领域的竞争。

These are genetic tweaks that affect only one or two bases in a gene's DNA sequence.
