We target a specific region of the gene called doublesex that affects only females.

我们针对的是双性基因的一个特定区域，该基因仅影响雌性。

Such genes are said to drive, and so the name " gene drive." Our most promising strain affects female fertility by targeting a gene called doublesex.

这类基因被称为驱动基因，因此得名“基因驱动”。我们最有希望的菌株通过针对一种名为双性基因的基因来影响雌性生育能力。

This gene is responsible for the sex determination in mosquitoes, and so disrupting the doublesex gene may affect the sexual development for adult mosquitoes and their reproduction.

该基因负责蚊子的性别决定，因此破坏双性基因可能会影响成年蚊子的性发育及其繁殖。
