1983年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了81岁高龄的美国遗传学家巴巴勒·麦克林托克(Barbara McClintock),以表彰她的遗传转座理论对生物学的巨大贡献。一位已届晚年,且其理论被淹没将近三十年的女子单独获奖,这在诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的颁发史上可谓史无前例了。单凭这一点,已给这项获奖的成果添上了神奇的色彩。转座理论的产生及其背景 1902年6月16日,麦克林托克出生于美国康涅狄格州的哈特福特。1919年她进入康奈尔大学选学植物学,在研究生阶段,她选取了植物遗传学的研究课题。
The 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded Barbara McClintock, an 81-year-old American geneticist, for her great contribution to biology. One woman who has reached the end of her life and whose theory has been submerged for almost three decades alone won the prize, which is unprecedented in the history of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Based on this alone, this award-winning result has been added with magical colors. The Origin and Background of the Transposition Theory On June 16, 1902, McClintock was born in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1919, she entered Cornell University to study botany. At the graduate level, she chose to study plant genetics.
