Beyond single-copy genes, whose product has a biological function that can be inferred by experimentation, certain DNA sequences, present in a large number of copies, escape the most refined approaches aimed at elucidating their precise role.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe existence of what 20th century geneticists had already perceived (and wrongly described as \"junk DNA\"!) was confirmed by the sequencing of the first complex genomes, including that of \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens.\u003c\/i\u003e A large part of what defines a living thing is not unique, but repeated, sometimes a very large number of times, increasing in complexity with successive duplications and multiplication.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding and defining the many functions of this myriad of repeated sequences, as well as their evolution through natural selection, has become one of the major challenges for 21st century genomics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuy-Franck Richard\u003c\/b\u003e is a research director at Institut Pasteur, France.
