William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:: Benson, Keith Rodney
Abstract:: The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

William Ernest Castle, American geneticist : a case-study in the impact of the Mendelian research program

Creator:: Taylor, H. Terry
Abstract:: In their modern context questions of heredity have come to be closely aligned with theories of evolution because all such theories require the presence of heritable variation. Thus the need for an understanding of a source of variation and a mechanism for its inheritance became very apparent with the general...

The biological significance of low molecular weight RNA associated with tumor virus

Creator:: Carnegie, John William
Abstract:: RNA isolated from BAI strain A (Myeloblastosis) Avian Tumor Virus can be fractionated into two fractions on a sucrose density gradient, one of higher molecular weight and one of low molecular weight. The low molecular weight (LMW) virus RNA was found to chromatograph the same as E. coli tRNA on...

J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

Creator:: Allen, Marshall William
Abstract:: This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...
