All of the papers bear the rubber stamp of pioneer Caltech geneticist Norman Horowitz. WITH: PATEMAN. "Back-Mutation Studies at the AM Locus in Neurospora Crassa." Offprint from: Journal of Genetics, vol. 55, no. 3, 1957. 8vo. 444-455 pp. Self-wraps. Professor John Arthur Pateman FRS, (1926-2011) was a researcher in genetics, contributing to studies on Aspergillus nidulans and Neurospora crassa. He was associated with the Dept. of Genetics, University of Cambridge, the University of Melbourne, and later the University of Sheffield. Pateman published research on the genetic regulation of nitrate reduction in Aspergillus nidulans and the linkage of polygenes in Neurospora crassa. "His earliest contribution to genetics was the discovery (together with John Fincham) of intracistronic complementation, an important phenomenon to understand the relationship of genetic information and protein structure; this at a time when the actual coding relationships of DNA and proteins were not yet worked out. Later on, he and his students made a fundamental contribution to the understanding of control of gene expression in eukaryotic microorganisms, providing some of the earliest examples of positive control. This work also led to the discovery of a new enzyme cofactor, the only one discovered through purely genetic evidence. He worked at various universities in Britain and Australia and trained a number of students who further developed the subject." [Royal Society]. All of the papers bear the rubber stamp of pioneer Caltech geneticist Norman Horowitz. Full list available on request.
