Chroniques génomiques - Les leçons inattendues d’Hiroshima
(Éditions EDK, Groupe EDP Sciences, 2014)
One of the initial motivations for the Genome project was to improve the detection of possible mutations in children of atomic bomb survivors. In fact it has proved very difficult to find any genetic effect in these ...
Les années 2000

Chroniques génomiques : Un chapeau pour mon repas ?
(Éditions EDK/Groupe EDP Sciences, 2013)
