International Womens Day! DO YOU KNOW ..?

Mary-Claire King Professor of Medicine and Genetics,
University of Washington School of Medicine. As a
grad student, King showed that chimpanzees and
humans are 99% genetically alike. Fifteen years later,
she proved that breast cancer can be inherited. She
has used polymerase chain reactions and genetic
sequencing to reunite kidnapped Argentinean
children with their families and also identified the
remains of Americans missing in action and war
crimes victims in Bosnia. "The remarkable thing about
genetics is that you use the same way of thinking to
identify disappeared children and the genes
responsible for inherited breast cancer."
