The consequence is to inactivate the gene being methylated.

化作用将使化失去活性。

As we age, some stretches of DNA get more methylated, and others less.

随着年龄增长，一些DNA片段化程度会上升，而另一些则会下降。

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

要提防化酒精，那是剧毒，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.

新生儿母亲若是在孕期间出现抑郁症状，他们糖皮质激素受化程度就会比其他新生儿更高。

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，孕期中遭到虐待母亲生下糖皮质激素受被化幼儿可能性要比其他母亲高出得多。

I'm using methylated spirits, and it needs to be in the freezer for half an hour before you start the experiment.

我打算使用化酒精，它需要在冰箱里放置半个小时才能开始实验。

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

你看到是化程度更高是红色。化程度较低呈绿色。

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易位会破坏小核内核糖核蛋白（SNRPN），并将核仁小RNA移出印记中心，导致这些化沉默。

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.

在一个着名实验中，当母老鼠对它们幼崽不够关心情况下，幼崽内帮助它们管理压力化并且隐藏了。

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，将被化沉默，导致母源和父源都处于沉默状态。

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号染色两条同源染色都来自母方，就意味着所有普拉德-威利都被化沉默，根本就没有父源表达。
