Howard Martin Temin (December 10, 1934 - February 9, 1994) was a U.S. geneticist.
The discovery of reverse transcriptase is one of the most important of the modern era of medicine, as reverse transcriptase is the central enzyme in several widespread human diseases, such as HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and Hepatitis B.
A long-time advocate against smoking, Temin died at the age of 59 from lung cancer, although he himself was never a smoker.

Howard Martin Temin (December 10, 1934 – February 9, 1994) was a U.S. geneticist.
Temin showed that certain tumor viruses carried the enzymatic ability to reverse the flow of information from RNA back to DNA using reverse transcriptase.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a long-time advocate against smoking, Temin died at the age of 59 from lung cancer, although he himself was never a smoker.

Howard Martin Temin was born in Philadelphia on December 10, 1934, to Henry Temin, a lawyer, and Annette (Lehman) Temin.
Temin, however, was convinced that RNA sometimes played the role of DNA and passed on the genetic codes that made a normal cell a tumor cell.
Temin's discovery of reverse transcriptase provided scientists with the means to find and identify the AIDS virus His interest in genetic engineering and the causes of cancer eventually led him to another exciting discovery.

Howard Martin Temin (1934-1994), American virologist and winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, which he shared with American molecular biologist David Baltimore and Italian American virologist Renato Dulbecco for their discoveries concerning the action of viruses on the genetic structure of the cells they infect.
However, in 1965, while studying the Rous sarcoma virus, Temin discovered that RNA changed the DNA of the host cell by inserting its own genes.
Temin was derided by his peers for his outlandish proposal but held to the idea of “reverse transcription.” In 1970, working with Satoshi Mitzutani, Temin found an RNA viral enzyme, which he called RNA-directed DNA polymerase, that copies genetic information to the host cell's DNA.

 The Lasker Foundation | Former Award Winners, Basic Medical Research 1974, Obituary
Howard M. Temin, a cancer researcher, who won the Nobel Prize for discovering an enzyme, reverse transcriptase, that overturned a central tenet of molecular biology, died of lung cancer Wednesday, at his home in Madison, Wis. He was 59.
Howard Martin Temin was born in Philadelphia in 1934.
Temin was puzzled why RNA viruses were an exception to the central dogma, and suggested in 1964, that some animal viruses may harbor reverse transcriptase, which would permit duplication of the virus's RNA into DNA for better biological adjustment after the virus entered a DNA-dominated animal cell.

 Howard Martin Temin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Temin proposed in 1964 that the virus somehow translated its RNA into DNA, which then redirected the reproductive activity of the cell, transforming it into a cancer cell.
Skeptics pointed out that Temin's suggestion contradicted the contemporary tenet of molecular biology: that genetic information always passed from DNA to RNA, rather than the reverse.
Temin obtained his Ph.D. in 1959, and after spending another year with Dulbecco, he joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he taught and conducted research until his death.

The research problem that Temin chose was the biology of a class of tumour viruses that have RNA as genetic material and cause sarcomas in chicken.
Temin also found that the morphology of the foci were different when genetic variants of the virus was used, leading to the important conclusion that transformation is the result of action by genes carried by the virus.
One of the major conclusions that Temin could make from his studies is that the viral genome is stably integrated as a part of the host genome, reminiscent of the prophage state seen in bacterial viruses.
