 I know families who are already living in this reality. 我知道这在有些家庭中已经实现了。


The Daniels family, for example, set up a DNA 1 lab in the basement of their suburban 2 Chicago home. 例如丹尼尔斯一家,在芝加哥郊区的家庭地下室建立了一个DNA实验室。
This is not a family made of PhD scientists. This is a family like any other. 这不是一个由博士科学家组成的家庭。这只是一个再普通不过的家庭。
They just like to spend time together doing fun, creative things. 他们只是喜欢花时间在一起做有趣的、有创造性的事情。
By day, Brian is an executive at a private equity 3 firm. 白天,布莱恩是私人股票基金公司的一个经理。
At night and on weekends, he experiments with DNA alongside his kids, ages seven and nine, as a way to explore the living world. 晚上和周末,他和7岁和9岁的孩子一起,进行他们的DNA实验,把这视为一种探索世界的方式。
Last time I called them, they were checking out homegrown produce from the backyard garden. 上次我打电话给他们的时候,他们检查了后院花园里自家种植的农产品。
They were testing tomatoes that they had picked, taking the flesh of their skin, putting it in a test tube, 他们测试了采摘的西红柿,提取它们表皮上的果肉,放进试管中,
mixing it with chemicals to extract DNA and then using their home DNA copier to test those tomatoes for genetically 5 engineered traits. 用化学药剂混合提取DNA,然后使用他们自家的DNA复印机来测试那些西红柿的转基因性状。
For the Daniels family, the personal DNA machine is like the chemistry set for the 21st century. 对于丹尼尔斯一家来说,个人DNA检测器就像针对21世纪设计的化学实验。
