Details:       "Use of bacterial poison antidote genes as tools: from
	       DNA engineering to synthetic biology"
	       
	       ABSTRACT
	       Since the ’90s, bacterial poison/antidote genes have
	       been used as tools in molecular biology. 
	       Today, the ccdA, ccdB gene loci of the F plasmid are
	       present in vectors for protein expression and DNA
	       cloning. 
	       These genes are either used for selection of recombinant
	       molecules (Gateway vectors, TOPO vectors, Zero
	       Background vectors) and for the maintenance of
	       expression vectors in E.coli. 
	       Nowadays most of the scientists use those genes as tools
	       for their daily research works. Most of the time
	       scientists use those genes ignoring their origin and
	       properties. This lack of information could limit the
	       efficiency of their DNA cloning and protein expression
	       experiments. 
	       The aim of this scientific meeting is to present the
	       natural origins antidote poison genes, their properties
	       and open a discussion on their current and future
	       applications.
