discovered the currently known histones
The lead currently claims that Huang is "a biochemist who discovered the currently known histones". That seems unlikely. Histones were discovered in 1884 by Albrecht Kossel. If Huang discovered the currently known histones the articles should elaborate on that claim did she really discover Histone H1, Histone H2A, Histone H2B Histone H3, Histone H4? --Vexations (talk) 11:59, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

==I will reinvestigate this claim and meanwhile I'll tone it down until I have completed the reinvestigation.LLMHoopes (talk) 01:22, 16 August 2018 (UTC) == I find that Bonner's lab was the site where the histones were isolated and sequenced but Huang's contribution was earlier and involved showing their effect on transcription and systematizing methods to isolate groups of them reproducibly. So the claim I had "learned" was not really substantiated by my reading of the primary literature. I hope that the article now reflects her actual contributions.LLMHoopes (talk) 04:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
