The consequence is to inactivate the gene being methylated.

甲化作用将使甲化的因失去活性。

Beware of methylated alcohol, which is very poisonous and should never be added to drinking water.

要提防甲化酒精，那是剧毒的，永远不能掺入饮用水。

Newborns whose mothers suffered from depression while they were pregnant are known to have more highly methylated glucocorticoid-receptor genes than others.

新生儿的母亲若是在怀孕期间出现抑郁症状，他们糖皮质激因的甲化程度就他新生儿更高。

They found that women abused during pregnancy were significantly more likely than others to have a child with methylated glucocorticoid-receptor genes.

研究发现，孕期中遭到虐待的母亲生下糖皮质激因被甲化的幼儿的可能性要他母亲高出得多。

What you see is the genes that got more methylated are red. The genes that got less methylated are green.

你看到的是甲化程度更高的因是红色的。甲化程度较低的因呈绿色。

Translocations can disrupt SNRNP and move the small nucleolar RNA genes away from their imprinting center, causing them to get methylated and turned off.

SNRNP因易位破坏小核内核糖核蛋白（SNRPN），并将核仁小RNA因移出印记中心，导致这些因的甲化沉默。

If the paternal imprinting center is mutated, the region gets methylated and those genes get turned off, meaning that both the maternal and paternal genes are silenced.

如果父源印记中心突变，因将被甲化沉默，导致母源和父源因都处于沉默状态。

In one famous experiment, when mother rats weren't attentive enough to their pups, genes in the babies that helped them manage stress were methylated and turned off.

在一个着名的实验中，当母老鼠对它们的幼崽不够关心的情况下，幼崽内帮助它们管理压力的因甲化并且隐藏了。

If both copies of chromosome 15 were derived from the mother, that means all the prader willi genes are methylated and silenced, since there's no unsilenced paternal genes.

如果15号染色的两条同源染色都来自母方，就意味着所有的普拉德-威利因都被甲化沉默，根本就没有父源因的表达。
