2021 Genetics Society of America Medal: Douglas Koshland
Failure of chromosomes to segregate properly results in severe medical conditions, or even death. Yet for a long time, it was challenging to study exactly how chromosomes carry out their complex choreography, due to a lack of robust tools for combining chromosome visualization and genetic experiments. Douglas Koshland spent his postdoc studying mammalian chromosome biology […]
