A global ocean atlas of eukaryotic genes
While our knowledge about the roles of microbes and viruses in the ocean has increased tremendously due to recent advances in genomics and metagenomics, research on marine microbial eukaryotes and zooplankton has benefited much less from these new technologies because of their larger genomes, their enormous diversity, and largely unexplored physiologies. Here, we use a metatranscriptomics approach to capture expressed genes in open ocean Tara Oceans stations across four organismal size fractions. The individual sequence reads cluster into 116 million unigenes representing the largest reference collection of eukaryotic transcripts from any single biome. The catalog is used to unveil functions expressed by eukaryotic marine plankton, and to assess their functional biogeography. Almost half of the sequences have no similarity with known proteins, and a great number belong to new gene families with a restricted distribution in the ocean. Overall, the resource provides the foundations for exploring the roles of marine eukaryotes in ocean ecology and biogeochemistry

Autopsie dâune prophĂ©tie : interprĂ©tations dissidentes de lâApocalypse de Jean
LâApocalypse de Jean pose Ă lâintelligence une double Ă©nigme. Une Ă©nigme historique, exĂ©gĂ©tique et philologique, car on ne sâaccorde toujours pas, malgrĂ© un apparent consensus, sur lâidentitĂ© de son auteur, sur lâĂ©poque Ă laquelle le texte a Ă©tĂ© Ă©crit, ni sur le sens des visions qui sây dĂ©ploient. Une Ă©nigme philosophique et psychologique ensuite, car on ignore toujours la nature profonde de lâexpĂ©rience prophĂ©tique. Dans cet article, lâauteur examine tour Ă tour ces deux Ă©nigmes, en donnant la parole aux points de vue dissidents. Dans la premiĂšre partie de son texte, il se penche sur lâenquĂȘte de Claude Tresmontant, et dans la deuxiĂšme il sâefforce dâĂ©clairer lâexpĂ©rience prophĂ©tique Ă la lumiĂšre des concepts et des connaissances de la mĂ©tapsychique.The Apocalypse of John faces us with a puzzle. Firstly from a historical, philological and exegetical point of view, as despite an apparent consensus, there is still no agreement on the identity of its author, the time the text was written, and the meaning of the visions it unfolds. And secondly from a philosophical and psychological perspective as the very nature of prophetic experience is still unknown. In this article both puzzles are dealt with in turn, and conflicting opinions are discussed. In the first part, the author examines Claude Tresmontantâs work, and attempts in the second to look at the prophetic experience in the light of concepts and knowledge from parapsychology

Le Prince et le pĂȘcheur. Remarques sur un cas de divination dans le Tchouang-tseu
The Prince and the Fisherman : reflections on a divination case in the Zhuangzi
Until today, parapsychologists studying the workings of the world beyond the human sensorium and academics researching divination have not been in dialogue. My paper aims to demonstrate, by means of a case study, the type
of dialogue that could emerge between those two fields of research. An edifying story in Zhuangzi about a divinatory dream and a sacred tortoise offers a platform to facilitate this dialogue. This example will demonstrate the fructifying potential of such comparative work between East and West.Jusqu'Ă prĂ©sent, les parapsychologues qui Ă©tudient les pouvoirs extrasensoriels, et les universitaires qui travaillent sur la divination ont persistĂ© Ă s' ignorer. Mon article a pour but de montrer sur un exemple concret le type de dialogue qui pourrait s'instaurer entre ces deux domaines de recherche. Un apologue du Tchouang-tseu, oĂč il est question d'un rĂȘve divinatoire et d'une tortue sacrĂ©e, fournit l'occasion d'amorcer cet Ă©change. Ă travers cet exemple, on voit s'esquisser le projet de travaux comparatifs fĂ©conds entre l'Orient et l'Occident, qui permettaient de transcender les habituels cloisonnements culturels.Bertrand MĂ©heust
