Next-generation sequencing: applications beyond genomes.

The development of DNA sequencing more than 30 years ago has profoundly impacted biological research. In the last couple of years, remarkable technological innovations have emerged that allow the direct and cost-effective sequencing of complex samples at unprecedented scale and speed. These next-generation technologies make it feasible to sequence not only static genomes, but also entire transcriptomes expressed under different conditions. These and other powerful applications of next-generation sequencing are rapidly revolutionizing the way genomic studies are carried out. Below, we provide a snapshot of these exciting new approaches to understanding the properties and functions of genomes. Given that sequencing-based assays may increasingly supersede microarray-based assays, we also compare and contrast data obtained from these distinct approaches

Des montagnards entrepreneurs : Les BAMILEKE du Cameroun

Y. Marguerat — Entrepreneurs from the Highlands: Bamileke in Cameroon. Resume of a geography D. Lit. thesis on the Cameroon Bamileke written by one of them. This is the first attempt at a scientific description of their justly reputed entrepreneurship, which has led them to assume a pre-eminent position in the national economy. For evident political reasons, the hostile reactions of other Cameroonian groups are only alluded to in this otherwise fascinating account.Marguerat Yves.
