Here the unique thing was that there's a restriction site inside that is present in normal DNA and not present in sickle DNA.
刚才例子中,特性就是在正常的基因中,有酶切位点,而在患者的基因中却没有
It's a single gene defect and we know exactly where the genetic defect is in sickle cell.
是一种单基因缺陷,而且我们准确地知道,镰状红细胞贫血的基因缺陷在哪里
The absence of this smaller region tells you that this sample came from a sickle patient.
小片段的缺失就能告诉你,该样本是取自病人的
It's on the gene for hemoglobin and the hemoglobin that you produce if you have sickle cell anemia is not quite right because there's one base difference.
这个缺陷基因和血红蛋白有关,如果你有镰状红细胞贫血症,那你所产生的血红蛋白就不太正常,因为这里有一个碱基不同
Sickle cell anemia is a disease that affects a subset of the population.
镰状红细胞贫血症,是一种作用于特定人群的疾病
Here's the difference between normal hemoglobin and sickle hemoglobin, I can make - I can see a chemical difference, I can exploit it, how can I find it?
正常血红蛋白和镰状红细胞贫血的,血红蛋白有不同之处,我能够--我能看出有化学差异,我能去探寻差异,那么我怎么找到它呢
We talked about sickle cell anemia last time, that's an example.
上次我们讲过镰刀状贫血病,那就是一例
This particular example involves the gene for sickle cell anemia.
本例子中就包括镰状红细胞贫血症的基因
If this was a sickle patient, so they had this gene instead it wouldn't get cut and when I went to look for that presence of that gene on this gel, it would appear as one large segment instead of a large one and a smaller one.
而如果是个镰状红细胞贫血的病人,他们的基因是不会被限制酶切割的,因此他们基因的凝胶电泳结果就不会呈现,一大一小的结果,而只有一个大的片段
How could I identify in a chromosomal DNA sample whether the sickle gene is present?
那我该怎么确定某染色体DNA样本中,是否存在这种致病基因呢
If I took this same restriction enzyme and tried to cut the chromosomal DNA of a sickle patient, it wouldn't cut at that point because the wrong sequence is there.
而如果我用同样的限制酶,去切割病人的染色体DNA,那该酶是不会起作用的,因为基因序列不对
In a normal cell DNA that DNA in the normal cell - this DNA gets cut by the restriction enzyme, so the sickle gene ends up - so that hemoglobin gene ends up in two pieces.
一个正常细胞的DNA,正常细胞里的DNA,会被限制酶所剪切,因此镰状血红蛋白基因--,不对,是正常血红蛋白基因被切成两段
