La génétique somatique a clairement démontré la fécondité des recherches concernant l'organisation, l'expression et la régulation des gènes chez de nombreuses espèces, y compris l'homme. La possibilité de manipuler et d'introduire du matériel génétique dans des cellules en culture grâce à l'hybridation cellulaire nous permet maintenant d'étudier l'expression des gènes au niveau de la cellule in vitro, mais aussi in vivo dans un organisme entier. Ces méthodes de génétique somatique, ainsi que leur développement moléculaire, seront des outils très importants de la biologie de demain. 2, record 2, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique%20somatique

The word "encumbrance" is not a technical term. Rather, it is a general expression and must be interpreted in the context in which it is found. It has a broad meaning and may include many disparate claims, charges, liens or burdens on land. It has been defined as "every right to or interest in land granted to the diminution of the value of the land but consistent with the passing of the fee". Even this definition, broad as it is, is not comprehensive enough to cover all possible encumbrances...(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd, p. 1685) 1, record 3, English, - encumbrance

The original form of this expression was hear him, which was usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favor. This is how it is still used today, although one can always vary one's tone to express different sentiments; the Oxford English Dictionary noted around the turn of the century that hear, hear "is now the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons, and expresses, according to intonation, admiration, acquiescence, indignation, derision, etc. " 3, record 4, English, - Hear%2C%20hear%21
