Abstract: A data management device is provided which comprises a loading module (7) for accessing data from a reference database and a selection module (8) for allowing a user to make a selection from among this data as a function of the categories of reference data to which the data belong. These categories correspond to the categories of data of an information management module (9) of a main data processing terminal (1). The main data processing terminal also comprises a screen (12) and an exporting module (10) for exporting the selected data to the information management module (9). As a result, the selected data are stored with the data of the corresponding categories of the information management module.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for specifically eliminating at least one type of double strand DNA plasmid from a set of plasmids, characterised in that it consists in: preparing presynaptic filaments by fixing a protein with RecA activity on a single strand DNA whose sequence corresponds to a sequence of the plasmid to be eliminated and which further comprises a recognition sequence for a restriction enzyme sensitive to methylation; mixing the set of plasmid with the presynaptic filaments to form triplexes on the plasmids with the presynaptic filaments to form triplexes on the plasmids to be eliminated; methylating the resulting DNA mixture; releasing the triplexes; digesting the mixture obtained with the restriction methylation sensitive enzyme; if necessary, eliminating or separating the linear double strand DNA's corresponding to the plasmids to be eliminated. The method is useful for preparing DNAc libraries.
