Individuals with that genetic interaction, they thought, were more likely than others to get sick.

他们认为，基因进行交互作用的人更容易患病。

Rather, it allows us to make sense of the computation being carried out by the cell in the context of genetic interactions.

相反，这能帮助我们理解在遗传相互作用的环境下细胞内在的计算程序。

And so by translating our observations into mathematical expression in this way, it becomes possible to test whether or not those observations can emerge from a program of genetic interactions.

运用这种方法，把我们的观察值编译为一种数学表达，现在有可能测试这些观察结果是否可以从基因相互作用的程序中得到。
