| | Khorana, Har Gobind (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Khorana could not get a job as a university professor in England because he was an Indian. |
 | | In 1960, Khorana went to the United States, where he continued the research he had been doing in Canada on the chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the stuff of which genes are made. |
 | | Khorana learned how to "read"" the sequence of chemicals that make up genes, and in which genetic messages are ""written.""Then, by putting simple chemicals together in a test tube, he and his students succeeded in making - for the first time - a human gene." |
