 Origins: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Working with maize at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in the 1940s, Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock did her groundbreaking research on transposons—transposable genetic elements that are popularly called "jumping genes." McClintock found that these mobile pieces of DNA can move from one part of a chromosome to another, affecting the color of the corn kernels.
When she first presented her work in 1951 at a Cold Spring Harbor meeting, McClintock was met with stony silence.
