1·It was always my dream that the drosophila (fruit fly) adipose gene would turn out to be a model for controlling obesity and type 2 diabetes.
果蝇腺苷基因将成为防治肥胖和2型糖尿病的一个模型一直以来是我的梦想。
2·Because much of the genome of Drosophila is Shared with human beings, learning how nuclear organization is controlled in the fruit fly can apply to human disorders like birth defects and cancer.
因为果蝇和人类有很多基因是共同的，因此了解果蝇的细胞核调控有助于认识人类的疾病如先天性疾病，或癌症。
3·While the antics of Drosophila melanogaster, as the fruit fly is known in scientific circles, may seem irrelevant at first blush, they are anything but.
虽然这项滑稽的举措，但是在科学界果蝇是众所周知的，我们对它们十分熟悉。
