The consequence is to inactivate the gene being methylated.

作用将使的因失去活性。

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

随着年龄的增长，一些DNA片段的程度会上升，而另一些则会下降。

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

要提防酒精，那是剧毒的，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孕期间出现抑郁症状，他们糖皮质激素受体因的程度就会比其他新生儿更高。

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

我打算使用酒精，它需要在冰箱里放置半个小时才能开始实验。

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素受体因被的幼儿的可能性要比其他母亲高出得多。

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

你看到的是程度更高的因是红色的。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因易位会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够关心的情况下，幼崽体内帮助它们管理压力的因并且隐藏了。

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号染色体的两条同源染色体都来自母方，就意味着所有的普拉德-威利因都被沉默，根本就没有父源因的表达。
