It is not a pretty garland. It is a DNA jellyfish, that is to say a mini-structure found inside the cells of our body, in billions of copies. DNA contains thousands of pieces of information that will determine if you are a girl or a boy, if you have brown or blond hair, if you have light or dark eyes.

 

DNA is made up of 4 chemical elements designated by 4 letters  : A, T, C, G. Sometimes the information carried by DNA contains small errors that can lead to diseases that affect the eyes, muscles or other organs in our body.

 

Researchers are developing treatments against these genetic diseases thanks to donations from the Telethon.
