In 1963 she published an article showing that genetic information is passed through genes residing on organelles in the cytoplasm as well, he said...
Nathan said that her research in cancer genetics indicated that cancer may result from a loss of tumor suppressor genes instead of higher "oncogenetic" activity.
On a larger scale, David says the current focus in science on genes "drives me crazy" and instead thinks that the key to solving health problems nationwide is to focus on community building.
