What Do Human Genes Look Like?
For three-quarters of a century geneticists have dealt with genes as abstractions, whose structure can be inferred only by looking at the products the genes specify. Now it has become possible to isolate a single gene from the million or so that specify a mammal, transfer it into a virus, and then examine the gene under an electron microscope. This visual proof of the gene's existence brought with it a dramatic surprise - the mammalian gene is not the simple structure it was thought to be. Dr Philip Leder. of the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Washington, discusses with JOHN MADDOX the evolutionary and biological implications of this discovery. Editor GEOFF DEEHAN followed by an interlude
