[GWL]: FW: SBLD - Barbara McClintock - 1983 Nobel Laureate

This may be a bit more academic than some are interested in, but the
consequences of Dr. McClintock's findings should be considered for anyone
studying genetic engineering and it's possible effects. Her work was in it's
early stages when I was in graduate school and even then it was required
reading.

http://www.nobel.se/medicine/laureates/1983/

Barbara McClintock's life work was understanding maize genetics. Early
in her career, she was the first to describe crossing over during
meiosis in plants. At the peak of her career, she realized that genes
were not immobile on the chromosomes, but could move and rearrange
themselves with startling consequences. Until rediscovered in fruit
flies (almost 20 years later) and many other organisms. This site, run
by the Nobel e-Museum contains the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine 1983 Press Release, Barbara McClintock's Autobiography,

essay by Howard Green. Similar biographies are available for many
Nobel Laureates. (****) -S
