We all began life with a set of genes inherited from our parents. However, it's now known that from the time we were in the womb onwards that genes can be turned off and on by the environment or even completely lost or gained. Even what your mother ate or how she behaved while she was pregnant could have influenced your future health. Because people are so different, we are studying the subtle differences between twins to tease out the factors that may influence our genes and our health.

我们都是从父母那里继承了一套基因开始生活的。然而，现在人们知道，从我们在子宫里的时候起，基因就可以被环境关闭和打开，甚至完全丢失或获得。甚至你的母亲在怀孕期间吃什么或她的行为都可能影响你未来的健康。由于人与人之间的差异如此之大，我们正在研究双胞胎之间的细微差异，以梳理出可能影响我们基因和健康的因素。
