Dr Zhang and Dr Sternberg have now demonstrated programmable CRISPR-Cas gene-editing systems that do just this by harnessing a protein encoded by a jumping gene known as Tn7.

张博士和Sternberg博士现已表明可编辑CRISPR-Cas基因编辑系统通过利用一种被称为Tn7的跳跃基因编码的蛋白质来做到这一点。

And doing so will enable us to harness the properties of biology to generate new kinds of therapies, to repair damaged tissue, to reprogram faulty cells or even build programmable operating systems out of biochemistry.

如此一来，我们将能够利用生物特征去开发新型疗法，去修复受损组织，去重编缺陷细胞，甚至利用生物化学构建一个可编程的操作系统。
