Who discovered messenger RNA?

The announcement of the discovery of messenger RNA (mRNA) and the cracking of the genetic code took place within weeks of each other in a climax of scientific excitement during the summer of 1961. Although mRNA is of decisive importance to our understanding of gene function, no Nobel Prize was awarded for its discovery. The large number of people involved, the complex nature of the results, and...

Who Discovered Hemophilia?

Newly discovered antiterminator RNAs in bacteriophage.

Antiterminator RNA directly modifies the transcription elongation complex so that it terminates less efficiently at intrinsic and factor-dependent terminators. These unusual RNAs were first discovered in bacteriophage HK022, where the nascent transcripts of the phage put sites promote full expression of phage genes during lytic infection. The activity of antiterminator RNA depends on specific s...

Who really discovered aplastic anemia?

Andrea Bacigalupo has recently published very useful guidelines for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia. As in the most recent and authoritative monograph on this condition, «the empty bone marrow and its devastating consequences for the patient have rightly fascinated hematologists for a century». The term itself is somewhat of a misnomer since the disease consists of a hypo-aplastic pancy...
