• 
  
  and this is a very hot topic
  这也是当今分子生物学
• 
  
  in molecular biology now and human therapeutics.
  和新型疗法中非常热门的话题
• 
  
  You've heard about RNA interference, for example,
  比如说 你们听说过的RNA干扰
• 
  
  and that is the process of stopping this,
  就是一种阻止
• 
  
  to stop a gene from being expressed.
  基因表达的手段
• 
  
  For example, a gene that makes a cell cancerous,
  举例来说 如果某段基因导致细胞癌变
• 
  
  I'd like to stop it from being expressed.
  我就希望阻止它表达
• 
  
  And you could interfere
  而你就可以通过
• 
  
  with a translation by degrading messenger RNA,
  降解其mRNA来进行干扰
• 
  
  for example. If you had a way
  再举个例子
• 
  
  to specifically chew up all the RNA molecules
  如果你能把表达特定蛋白的RNA
• 
  
  that are responsible for making a particular protein,
  统统揪出来捣毁的话
