Which is London's best hotel? With taste so subjective it's impossible to answer definitively, but there's a strong case for Bulgari Hotel London having the capital's best hotel swimming pool. Flanked by beach club-style cabanas and lined with a glistening gold and green mosaic, the 25-metre basement pool feels slick as can be, and forms the epicentre of a 2,000sq-metre, two-storey spa that is itself one of the most multifaceted and ambitious in the city.

And the research shows that what predicts this despair is not a lack of happiness, it's a lack of having meaning in life.

Transposable elements are DNA sequences with the ability to move from one genomic location to another. The movement of class II transposable elements has been functionally harnessed and separated into two distinct DNA transposon components: the terminal inverted repeat sequences that flank genetic cargo to be mobilized and a transposase enzyme capable of recognizing the terminal inverted repeat sequences and catalyzing the transposition reaction. In particular, the Sleeping Beauty (SB) system was the first successful demonstration of transposon-based gene transfer in vertebrate species.
