Nobel Prize Awarded for Gene Control in Early Development
Two Americans and a German win the Nobel Prize in medicine for uncovering how genes govern early embryo development. The work with fruit flies identifies master switches that turn other genes on and off to form body segments and organs, with implications for human birth defects and miscarriages. The trio includes Edward Lewis of Caltech, Eric Wieschaus of Princeton, and Christiane Nuesslein Volhard of Max Planck Institute.
