This book relates how, among 1954 and 1961, the biologist Seymour Benzer mapped the high-quality constitution of the rII area of the genome of the bacterial virus often called phage T4. Benzer’s accomplishments are widely known as a tipping aspect in mid-twentieth-century molecular biology while the character of the gene used to be recast in molecular phrases. extra frequently than the other person, he's thought of to have led geneticists from the classical gene into the molecular age.
 
Drawing on Benzer’s remarkably whole checklist of his experiments, his correspondence, and released resources, this e-book reconstructs how the previous physicist initiated his paintings in phage biology and completed his landmark research. The account of Benzer’s creativity as a researcher is an interesting tale that still finds exciting elements universal to the scientific enterprise.
