Alfred Henry Sturtevant (November 21, 1891 – April 5, 1970) was an American geneticist.Sturtevant constructed the first genetic map of a chromosome in 1911. Throughout his career he worked on the organism Drosophila melanogaster with Thomas Hunt Morgan. [2]
Thomas Hunt Morgan (September 25, 1866 – December 4, 1945) [2] was an American evolutionary biologist, geneticist, embryologist, and science author who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933 for discoveries elucidating the role that the chromosome plays in heredity.
Édouard-Gérard Balbiani (1823–1899), French embryologist who found chromosome puffs now called Balbiani rings; David Baltimore (born 1938), US biologist, Nobel Prize for the discovery of reverse transcriptase; Guido Barbujani (born 1955), Italian population geneticist and evolutionary biologist
Police used genome sequencing to identify a body found in the Mississippi River more than four decades ago as a 15-year-old girl from Iowa.
Forty-six years after a Missouri hunter found a body in the Mississippi River, the victim has been identified as a 15-year-old girl from Iowa. Authorities in Lincoln County, Missouri, announced ...
The chromosome theory of inheritance is credited to papers by Walter Sutton in 1902 [5] and 1903, [6] as well as to independent work by Theodor Boveri during roughly the same period. [7] Boveri was studying sea urchins, in which he found that all the chromosomes had to be present for proper embryonic development to take place. [8]

Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered sex linked inheritance of the white eyed mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila in 1910, implying the gene was on the sex chromosome. In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan showed that genes reside on specific chromosomes. He later showed that genes occupy specific locations on the chromosome.
