"Magical technology... and we take it for granted...." "Life !" "Put an apple seed in the ground, and you will be able to grow new apple trees." I quote the very inspirational talk by Andrew Hessel So simple and so powerful, one unique operating system for all living things, one code: #DNA A #DNAday celebration at #Genopole today with a successful event co-organized by Genopole, Medicen Paris Region and DNA Script After the opening introduction by Gilles Trystram, by Medicen and by Xavier Godron, Jean Weissenbach took us on a journey on the history of the Human genome sequencing. From the first experiments enabling to separate DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis published in 1975 to the creation of #CEPH in the 80's, and the early days of #Genethon in the 90's, paving the way for Human Genetics at scale, globally. Thanks to Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. and Illumina for welcoming us to visit their facilites. A rich afternoon, with a line-up of speakers: Stéphane Lemaire for Biomemory Simon Trancart for Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. Nuno Palha for Servier Jean-Christophe RAIN for Hybrigenics Radhia M'kacher for Cell Environment Looking forward to the next anniversary! #genomics #innovation #synbio
