Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

JAMES D. WATSON is the Chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and was awarded the Nobel Prize (1962) for his discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids.

AMY A. CAUDY is a Lewis-Steiger Fellow, at the Lewis-Steiger Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton University. Combining methods from genomics, and biochemistry, her research seeks to understand the regulation of mitochondrial replication and abundance.

RICHARD M. MYERS is the Stanford W. Ascherman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Genetics at Stanford University. He studies the structure, function and evolution of the human genome to understand roles that genes play in human diseases such as Huntington disease, Parkinson disease, hypertension, insulin resistance, and atherosclerosis.

JAN A. WITKOWSKI is the Executive Director of the Banbury Center, the Editor-in-chief of "Trends in Biochemical Sciences" and a professor at the Watson School of Biological Sciences. Prior to his role at Cold Spring Harbor, he ran a research lab focused on the DNA-based diagnosis of human genetic diseases.
