High quality genome sequence reveals important events during domestication of White Lupin
Prod 2019-88m BAP GEAPSI INRA; International audience; White lupin (Lupinus albus; 2n=50) is the only crop producing cluster roots, an outstanding developmental adaptation to low phosphate soils. We report a high-quality chromosome-scale assembly of white lupin genome, together with an extensive transcriptome data from ten different organs. We used singlemolecule real-time technology, in combination with short-reads sequencing and optical and genetic maps to have a successful assembly. The final assembly size is 443 Mb with a N50 of 17 Mb. About 98% of the assembled genome is included on the 25 pseudo-chromosomes. The structural annotation identified 38258 coding genes and 3,129 ncRNA, bein…
Congenital sebaceous choristoma of the tongue : a rare case report
The most common oral choristomas are consisted of thyroid tissue and bone. The presence of sebaceous glands in the oral mucosa, especially in the buccal mucosa and labial mucosa, is often considered a normal anatomical variation since they are observed in
Neutron measurements for advanced nuclear systems: The n_TOF project at CERN
A few years ago, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF was built at CERN to address some of the urgent needs of high-accuracy nuclear data for Accelerator Driven Systems and other advanced nuclear energy systems, as well as for nuclear astrophysics and fundamental nuclear physics. Thanks to the characteristics of the neutron beam, and to state-of-the-art detection and acquisition systems, high quality neutron cross-section data have been obtained for a variety of isotopes, many of which radioactive. Following an important upgrade of the spallation target and of the experimental area, a new measurement campaign has started last year. After a brief review of the most important results obt…
Neutron cross section measurements at n_TOF for ADS related estudies
A neutron Time-of-Flight facility (n_TOF) is available at CERN since 2001. The innovative features of the neutron beam, in particular the high instantaneous flux, the wide energy range, the high resolution and the low background, make this facility unique for measurements of neutron induced reactions relevant to the field of Emerging Nuclear Technologies, as well as to Nuclear Astrophysics and Fundamental Nuclear Physics. The scientific motivations that have led to the construction of this new facility are here presented. The main characteristics of the n_TOF neutron beam are described, together with the features of the experimental apparata used for cross-section measurements. The main res…
