Historical Profiles
Each article in this series of Timeline pieces - which have appeared in Nature Reviews Genetics from 2001 - depicts a historical figure (or figures) in genetics and how their ideas fit into a modern context. As well as revise our views of these scientists' contributions, the articles in this series also serve to acquaint our younger readers to the scientists who have shaped their field.
