4to. 122-123 pp. Figs. Self-wraps. Ownership rubber stamp & signature of Norman Horowitz, California Institute of Technology. Fine. Barratt was a prominent player in the early development of fungal genetics. He was Tatum's first graduate student at Yale, and his detailed work on Neurospora provided the backbone for many later developments in genetics. He went on to work with the Dept. of Biological Sciences, Stanford University. Tatum (1909-1975) was one of the fathers of modern genetics and worked extensively with George W. Beadle on drosophila and Neurospora. This work culminated in the 1958 Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine, which Tatum shared with Beadle and Joshua Lederberg. WITH: BARRATT, & Laura GARNJOBST.

Typed sheets. 11 pp. Fine. / Raymond Barratt "was a prominent player in the early development of fungal genetics. After early work with fungal plant pathogens at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, he switched to Neurospora and became Ed Tatum's first graduate student at Yale. When the Tatum lab moved to Stanford in 1948, Ray continued as a Research Fellow, conducting his own research, supervising the laboratory, and becoming a teacher, helper, and friend to all the new students and postdocs. During this period, he took the initiative in assigning gene names and formulating rules of genetic nomenclature for Neurospora and in bringing together genetic and phenotypic information on all the known genes into what might be called the first Neurospora compendium, which included the first comprehensive maps. In 1954 he went to Dartmouth as a faculty member. He organized the Fungal Genetics Stock Center (FGS C), gathering Neurospora mutant and wild-type strains, obtaining funding from NSF, perfecting preservation methods, and periodically publishing stock lists in the Neurospora Newsletter (now Fungal Genetics Newsletter)." /. …
