What does studying the genome reveal?
How can we decipher and manipulate genes?
For what purposes?
With a laboratory atmosphere, the third part of the exhibition this time leads us to explore the gene as a subject of study and manipulation.

A mural traces the incredible journey of the "Human Genome Project". Between the first karyotype presented in 1956 and the genome map unveiled in March 2000, research has evolved, in terms of both scale and resources: 300 million euros and the cumulative efforts of 1000 scientists around the globe have been necessary to sequence the more than 30,000 genes de notre genome.
