Chromosomes, light micrograph C016 / 6354
Chromosomes, light micrograph. This micrograph was obtained in 1934 during studies of chromosome structure in the salivary glands of Sciara (a genus of fungus gnats). It is part of the Barbara McClintock Papers, and was displayed in the exhibition From Ithaca to Berlin and Back Again. US geneticist Barbara McClintock (1902-1994) studied in Germany during this period, on a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation. She worked with Richard B. Goldschmidt at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. McClintocks studies in genetics, especially her discovery of transposable elements, earned her the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of chromosomes, specifically obtained in 1934 during groundbreaking studies on chromosome structure. The research was conducted by renowned US geneticist Barbara McClintock, whose work focused on the salivary glands of Sciara, a genus of fungus gnats. This particular micrograph is part of the esteemed Barbara McClintock Papers and was prominently displayed in the exhibition titled "From Ithaca to Berlin and Back Again". During this period, McClintock pursued her studies in Germany with support from a fellowship granted by the prestigious Guggenheim Foundation. She collaborated with Richard B. Goldschmidt at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, delving into various aspects of genetics and making remarkable contributions to the field. McClintock's pioneering investigations into genetics led to her groundbreaking discovery of transposable elements or "jumping genes" which ultimately earned her the distinguished Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983. Her work revolutionized our understanding of molecular biology and had far-reaching implications for biological research. This monochrome image not only represents an important milestone in scientific history but also symbolizes McClintock's unwavering dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries through meticulous study and observation. It serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as one of the most influential figures in genetics during the 20th century.
