WHAT'S the longest river in the World

i need help to  Summarize the following French text into English in approximately 250 words. 

C'est une nouvelle qui secoue les sciences du vivant tout entières. On aurait enfin retrouvé l'ADN de la créature la plus fantasmatique ayant jamais peuplé la Terre : un dinosaure ! Non, nous ne sommes pas au début du film Jurassic Park. L'équipe de paléontologues américains et chinois à l'origine de cette incroyable découverte est bien réelle. Et elle n'a pas eu besoin d'une improbable trouvaille, tel le moustique gorgé de sang et piégé dans de l'ambre imaginé par les scénaristes hollywoodiens.
La réalité est plus simple : c'est dans un tout petit fossile découvert il y a plusieurs dizaines d'années, un anodin morceau de cartilage pétrifié, que se cachait ce trésor. Comme un clin d'oeil supplémentaire, c'est le conseiller scientifique du fameux film de science-fiction, Jack Horner, qui en avait fait la découverte à la fin des années 1980, au sein de la formation rocheuse Two Medicine, dans le Montana (États-Unis). Sur les lieux reposaient plusieurs vestiges de dinosaure à bec de canard, de l'espèce Hypacrosaurus stebingeri, un herbivore qui pouvait atteindre 10 m de longueur et vivait en Amérique du Nord il y a 75 millions d'années.
Et voilà que trente ans plus tard, alors qu'elle réanalyse l'un de ces fossiles, un morceau de cartilage provenant du crâne d'un bébé, Alida Bailleul, paléontologue à l'Académie chinoise des sciences, observe un étonnant phénomène : à l'intérieur de certaines cellules, notamment celles figées en pleine division, d'étranges taches sombres sont visibles à l'endroit même où l'ADN est censé se condenser en chromosomes ! Fébriles, les chercheurs injectent alors dans les tissus des molécules fluorescentes, qui ont pour propriété de se lier spécifiquement aux bases azotées de l'ADN. "Le noyau à l'intérieur des cellules s'est coloré, ce qui prouve que de l'ADN a été détecté", s'enthousiasme Alida Bailleul.
UN RÉSULTAT DÉROUTANT
Or aucun ADN n'est censé survivre aussi longtemps… Ses lois de dégradation sont claires.
"Jusqu'à présent, toutes les données montraient que l'ADN ne peut se conserver plus de 1 million d'années", abonde Céline Bon, chercheuse en anthropologie génétique au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Avec le temps, celui-ci se fragmente en petits morceaux, devenant de moins en moins exploitable, avant de disparaître entièrement. Et plus il fait chaud, plus l'ADN se dégrade. Les plus anciens échantillons retrouvés jusque-là avaient tous été conservés dans du permafrost ou des calottes glaciaires. Et même parmi ceux-là, aucun n'avait plus de 1 million d'années ! Alors un ADN de dinosaure, 75 fois plus ancien ? Le résultat paraît simplement aberrant.
RÊVES DE CLONAGE
Malgré tout, cette découverte fait naître chez les chercheurs l'espoir d'accroître comme jamais leurs connaissances sur les dinosaures. "Pour l'instant, on les étudie seulement au travers des oiseaux, qui sont des dinosaures aviens", rappelle Céline Bon. Et si les scientifiques ont déjà trouvé des protéines dans des fossiles vieux de 195 millions d'années (voir encadré), "les informations y sont beaucoup moins riches que celles contenues dans l'ADN", pointe Thierry Grange.
C'est une reconstitution de tout l'arbre phylogénétique des dinosaures, mais aussi une meilleure connaissance de leur écologie, voire de leurs maladies, que laisserait entrevoir une future étude de leur génome - sans parler des rêves de clonage. Pour y parvenir, il n'y aurait peut-être nul besoin de nouvelles et miraculeuses trouvailles. Car les musées et les collections regorgent déjà de fossiles. Combien d'entre eux cachent encore en leur sein un minuscule fragment d'ADN, certes un peu dégradé, mais prêt à se révéler ?
Mais si l'on exclut cette possibilité, comment expliquer les structures observées et, surtout, les résultats du test de coloration ? Une contamination extérieure des échantillons, ennemi majeur des paléontologues, est bien entendu possible. De nombreuses structures organiques ou minérales, d'origine plus récente que les fossiles, peuvent s'y déposer lors de la fossilisation ou de l'analyse par les scientifiques. De plus, "les méthodes de détection de l'ADN utilisées ne sont pas très spécifiques. Les colorants peuvent réagir avec d'autres substances organiques", prévient Thierry Grange, responsable de l'équipe Épigénome et Paléogénome à l'Institut Jacques-Monod.
Sauf que pour Alida Bailleul, cette hypothèse n'est pas envisageable : "La coloration a été observée à l'intérieur des cellules, précisément à l'emplacement du noyau", balaie-t-elle. Ce qui n'aurait pas été le cas si des organismes, par exemple des bactéries ou des virus, s'étaient immiscés dans l'échantillon : la coloration se serait alors répandue sur toute sa surface. Alors quoi ? Tout ce que l'on pensait savoir sur la conservation de l'ADN serait faux ? Décoder le génome d'un tyrannosaure, ou pourquoi pas de Lucy l'australopithèque, deviendrait du domaine du possible ? Pour Alida Bailleul, cette découverte amène en effet à revoir certains a priori : "L'ensemble de la communauté scientifique n'en sait pas assez sur la dégradation du génome dans les très vieux fossiles." Pour combler cette lacune, elle devra dépasser une puissante barrière cognitive : "Nous ne sommes pas encore prêts à envisager que de l'ADN soit conservé aussi longtemps. Mais il y a dix ans, personne n'aurait cru quelqu'un disant en avoir retrouvé des fragments vieux de 1 million d'années", argumente Thierry Grange.R
Nous sommes donc à un véritable tournant. Mais le chemin est encore long. Déjà, "il faudrait que ces expériences soient répliquées dans d'autres laboratoires par d'autres équipes", commente Céline Bon. Alida Bailleul, elle, voit déjà plus loin, et souhaiterait "analyser plus de fossiles et utiliser différents tests pour mieux comprendre le processus de préservation de l'ADN. Mais pour cela, il faudra l'étudier avec de nouvelles méthodes de chimie, d'histologie et de nouveaux séquenceurs, et donc innover". Avec pour but ultime de pouvoir, un jour, séquencer l'ADN découvert, c'est-à-dire déterminer l'ordre des bases qui composent la molécule et ainsi obtenir des informations génétiques cruciales sur notre dinosaure à bec de canard. Mais l'équipe ne pense pas que cela soit possible dans l'immédiat. "Les technologies actuelles de séquençage d'ADN ne fonctionnent pas correctement sur les fossiles très anciens, comme celui-ci", avoue Alida Bailleul. Avant toute chose, il faudrait commencer par mieux comprendre comment se dégrade le génome…

Hey! need help summarizing this text in 25o words. thanks

This is news that shakes the entire life sciences. We would finally have found the DNA of the most fantasy creature ever populated the Earth: a dinosaur! No, we are not at the beginning of the Jurassic Park movie. The team of American and Chinese paleontologists behind this incredible discovery is very real. And they did not need an unlikely find, such as the mosquito full of blood and trapped in amber imagined by Hollywood writers.

The reality is simpler: it was in a very small fossil discovered several decades ago, an innocuous piece of petrified cartilage, that this treasure hid. As an additional nod, it was the scientific advisor to the famous science fiction film, Jack Horner, who discovered it in the late 1980s, within the Two Medicine rock formation in Montana (United States). On the site rested several remains of a duck-billed dinosaur, of the species Hypacrosaurus stebingeri, a herbivore that could reach 10 m in length and lived in North America 75 million years ago.

And thirty years later, while reanalyzing one of these fossils, a piece of cartilage from a baby's skull, Alida Bailleul, paleontologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, observes an amazing phenomenon: inside some cells, especially those frozen in full division, strange dark spots are visible at the very place where DNA is supposed to condense into chromosomes! Feminile, researchers then inject fluorescent molecules into the tissues, which have the property of binding specifically to the nitrogen bases of DNA. "The nucleus inside the cells has colored, proving that DNA has been detected," enthuses Alida Bailleul.

AN UNEXPECTED OUTCOME

However, no DNA is supposed to survive so long... Its laws of degradation are clear.

"So far, all the data showed that DNA cannot be preserved for more than 1 million years," says Céline Bon, a researcher in genetic anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History. Over time, it fragments into small pieces, becoming less and less exploitable, before disappearing completely. And the warmer it is, the more DNA deteriorates. The oldest samples found so far had all been kept in permafrost or ice caps. And even among these, none were more than 1 million years old! So a dinosaur DNA, 75 times older? The result seems simply absurd.

CLONING DREAMS

Despite everything, this discovery gives researchers hope to increase their knowledge of dinosaurs like never before. "For the moment, we only study them through birds, which are Avian dinosaurs," recalls Céline Bon. And if scientists have already found proteins in fossils 195 million years old (see box), "the information is much less rich than that contained in DNA," points out Thierry Grange.

It is a reconstruction of the entire phylogenetic tree of dinosaurs, but also a better knowledge of their ecology, even their diseases, that a future study of their genome would suggest - not to mention cloning dreams. To achieve this, there might be no need for new and miraculous finds. Because museums and collections are already full of fossils. How many of them still hide within them a tiny DNA fragment, certainly a little degraded, but ready to reveal itself?

But if we exclude this possibility, how to explain the observed structures and, above all, the results of the coloring test? External contamination of the samples, a major enemy of paleontologists, is of course possible. Many organic or mineral structures, of more recent origin than fossils, can be deposited there during fossilization or analysis by scientists. In addition, "the DNA detection methods used are not very specific. Dyes can react with other organic substances," warns Thierry Grange, head of the Epigenome and Paleogenome team at the Jacques-Monod Institute.

Except that for Alida Bailleul, this hypothesis is not possible: "Staining was observed inside the cells, precisely at the location of the nucleus," she sweeps. This would not have been the case if organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, had interfered in the sample: the staining would then have spread throughout its surface. So what? Anything we thought we knew about DNA conservation would be false? Decoding the genome of a tyrannosaurus, or why not Lucy the australopitheca, would become the domain of the possible? For Alida Bailleul, this discovery leads to a review of some a priori: "The entire scientific community does not know enough about genome degradation in very old fossils." To fill this gap, it will have to overcome a powerful cognitive barrier: "We are not yet ready to consider keeping DNA for so long. But ten years ago, no one would have believed anyone saying they had found fragments 1 million years old, "says Thierry Grange.R

We are therefore at a real turning point. But there is still a long way to go. Already, "these experiments should be replicated in other laboratories by other teams," comments Céline Bon. Alida Bailleul is already looking further, and would like to "analyze more fossils and use different tests to better understand the DNA preservation process. But to do this, it will have to be studied with new chemistry, histology and new sequencers methods, and therefore innovate". With the ultimate goal of one day being able to sequence the DNA discovered, that is to say, determine the order of the bases that make up the molecule and thus obtain crucial genetic information about our duck-billed dinosaur. But the team does not think this is possible immediately. "Current DNA sequencing technologies do not work properly on very old fossils, like this," admits Alida Bailleul. First of all, we should start by better understanding how the genome is deteriorating...
