24、 It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organisms chromosomes （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to thenreinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖）, where a des

One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the body and the body from them until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lo

36、ts of ways to trigger （ 引发 ） this release， including changing temperature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risks burns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near- infrared light （NIR, 近红外线） on the drug in

37、 the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers （ 聚合物 ） and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb either ultraviolet （UV , 紫外线 ） or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visibl

38、e light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds （化合物）absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year

39、when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, San Diego, reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR- absorbing group called o-nitrobenzyl （ONB）. When they catch the light, O

40、NB groups fall off the polymer, leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a so- so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better. This one consists of a long chain of

41、 compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresol contains reactive （易反应的）components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form, a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols, they cap each reactive component with a light- absorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absor
