Talk:Tracy Sonneborn

Untitled
I've added a section 'Non-Genetic Inheritance'. This is by no means meant to summarise Sonneborn's work, but it seems to me that the experiments that he did in this area will at some future time be recognised as either seminal or at the least far-reaching. I hope that other contributors, better qualified in biology, will fill out this page with other examples of his work which seems to me to have been of a standard that few of us can even hope to emulate. The archive at Indiana I'm sure has ample material.

On my part I have only looked into his work to follow up on the areas in which I happened to be interested, and it would be a shame if nothing more were to be added about a man who seems to have been a fine scientist.

The section that I added might possibly need links to more recent work on cell division and the role of microtubules in orchestrating the separation of the two copies of DNA that have been produced. And some pictures would be of benefit. Davy p 05:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
