-
Alfred developed the firest genetic map of chromosomes. He also discovered the first reparable gene defect, and unequal crossing-over.
-
Morgan discovered the Drosophila genome. He adopted the term gene and made a hypothesis for sex-linked traits.
-
Griffith discovered the transforming principle and used strains of streptoccous pneunomia bacterium to prevent pneunomia.
-
Brachet showed DNA was found in chromosomes and that RNA was present in the cytoplasm of all cells. Both types of nucleic acid occur in plant and animal cells.
-
Tatum and Beadle discovered the role of genes in regulating biochemical events within cells.
-
They discovered that humans had forty-six chromosomes instead of forty-eight.
-
An experiment that supported that DNA replication was semi-conservative.
-
Temin discovered the enzyme reverse transcriptase or RNA directed DNA polymerase. He recieved a Nobel Prize in 1975 for this experiment.
-
Fiers demonstrated the physical,covalently,closed circulatory of bacteriophage. He also developed the complete nucleotide sequence of a gene and of a viral genome.
-
He developed rapid DNA sequencing.
-
600 scientists finished sequencing the genome of bakers yeast.
-
The Berkeley Project and Celera sequenced the Drosophila Genome.
-
The flower plant arabidopsis was sequenced.
-
The Sanger Institute sequenced the genome of a zebra fish (banio rerio)
-
The public and private efforts were done to get the mouse genome sequenced.
-
The Rat genome sequencing project consortirium. It will probably never be finished due to gaps.
-
(Canis Lupus Famillaris) Shotgun sequencing was done to sequence the genome of a dog.
