Sommario/riassunto

Les efforts de l'homme pour se procurer de la joie sont parfois dignes de l'attention du philosophe, écrit Victor Hugo dans L'Homme qui rit. Comme les autres romantiques, il fait pourtant peser un énorme soupçon sur le rire et sur la gaieté. Les rictus omniprésents sous sa plume et celle de ses contemporains appartiennent tant au sadisme qu'à la souffrance, tant au bourreau qu'à sa victime.  Alors que notre époque se montre friande de bonne humeur, de fêtes, de festivals, Victor Hugo et ses contemporains des quatre coins de l'Europe jugent que la joie est mal à-propos, elle qui résonne au milieu des souffrances populaires. Il peut lui arriver de sourire ou de verser des larmes, mais le héros hugolien ne rit pas, sauf si on l'y oblige.  Doit-on encore lire les romantiques aujourd'hui ? Oui, parce qu'ils nous rappellent qu'il faut résister à la dictature contemporaine de l'allégresse, du rire de force. Voilà pourquoi Rictus romantiques se termine par un « Éloge de



la mauvaise humeur ».

Sommario/riassunto

The book “Advances in Biotechnology” is about recent advances in some of the important fields that are ongoing in certain biotechnological applications. Biotechnology has been quite helpful in



keeping pace with the demands of every increasing human population and in improving the quality of human life. Major biotechnological achievements associated with human welfare have been from the fields like genetic engineering; transgenic plants and animals; genomics, proteomics, monoclonal antibodies for the diagnosis of disease, gene therapy etc. Fourteen authoritative chapters written by experts having experience in academics and research on current developments and future trends in biotechnology have been empathized. The book provides a detailed account of various methodologies used in biotechnology i.e. High capacity vectors, DNA sequencing dealing with next generation sequencing, Molecular markers, DNA microarray technology, as well as Proteomics that have revolutionized biotechnology with a wide array of applications. The book not only presents a well-founded explanation of the topics but also aims to present up-to-date reviews of current research efforts, some thoughtful discussions on the potential benefits and risks involved in producing biotechnological products and the challenges of bringing such products to market. It will prove to be an excellent reference work for both academicians and researchers, indicating new starting points to young researchers for new projects in the field. The book is intended for biotechnologist, biologist, researchers, teachers and students of Biosciences and Biotechnology.
