Barbara McClintock's discovery of transposable elements in corn plants revolutionized our understanding of genetics and gene regulation. Her work laid the foundation for further research into gene expression and its impact on evolution, development, and disease. Today, her discoveries continue to influence fields such as molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology.
Barbara McClintock was a pioneering geneticist who discovered transposable elements or "jumping genes" which demonstrated the dynamic nature of the genome. Her work revolutionized our understanding of genetics and earned her the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983, making her the first solo female recipient in that category.
