For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it.

例如，目前还不清楚整个基因组的排序是否侵犯了其中单个基因组的专利权。

Cheap and rapid whole-genome sequencing will, for example, make it possible to sequence the entire genomes of cancerous and healthy cells in individual patients to see what has changed.

比如说，廉价快速的全基因组测序使得对单个病人癌细胞和健康细胞进行全基因组测序成为可能，看看到底哪些基因发生了变化。
