And it was through our research to understand the activity of this protein, Cas9, that we realized that we could harness its function as a genetic engineering technology -- a way for scientists to delete or insert specific bits of DNA into cells with incredible precision -- that would offer opportunities to do things that really haven't been possible in the past.
Cas9タンパクの働きは 我々の調査を通じて明らかになり ゲノム工学の技術として 活用できるようになりました 科学者は細胞内に特定のDNA断片を 驚くほど正確に削除・ 挿入することで 過去には不可能だったことに 可能性を見出せるようになったのです
