		When Roeder fell, seriously wounded, his men carried him to his command post in the shelter of the ancient ruin.
		The promise of relief had come none too soon for the 2nd Battalion: all officers of Company G had either been killed or wounded and the company was down to only fifty men; Companies E and F were in little better shape.

		Largely through a new technique for studying gene activation that he developed, Roeder has also revealed multiple intricate networks of many different molecules that can bind to or otherwise interact with DNA, RNA polymerase, and each other to control the activities of families of genes.
		The basic knowledge Roeder has gathered has enormous potential for clinical benefit in fields ranging from cancer to genetic disorders to infectious diseases.
		Roeder was a member of the biochemistry faculty at the Washington University School of Medicine from 1971-1982, for a time serving as the James S. McDonnell Professor of Biochemistry.

		Roeder came to the bench nearly 40 years ago, and, in his last months as a graduate student in William Rutter's University of Washington lab, his work paid off.
		Roeder subsequently characterized the actions of the three RNA polymerases (Pols): Pol I transcribes the bulk of ribosomal RNAs; Pol II transcribes premessenger RNAs; and Pol III transcribes transfer RNAs and some ribosomal RNA.
		Roeder went on to define the first gene-specific activator, TFIIIa, required for Pol III transcription of 5S genes, and to define various transcription factors and accessory proteinsandamp;#8212;some of the more than 40 polypeptides minimally needed for gene recognition of the transcription start site and RNA synthesis.

	Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Red Sunset: The Failure of Soviet Politics - Philip G. Roeder
		The theory, called new institutionalism and borrowed from economics along with a core of rational-choice theory, roots the sources of political behavior in the rules, formal and informal, that determine political roles and relationships.
		Putting Roeder's thesis so starkly does it a disservice: Fully developed, it is far from as self-evident as this would make it seem.
		Although the book's primary audience is in the universities, the general reader will gain insight into the ultimate weaknesses of the Soviet system and a good idea of how new institutionalism stacks up as an explanation against traditional alternatives, particularly those stressing the importance of political culture.

	HHMI Bulletin: Peering Inside the Black Box
		What little was known had been pioneered by biochemist Robert G. Roeder, who had discovered the enzyme RNA polymerase—the heart of the engine that drives the cell's DNA-reading machinery—in work he did at the University of Washington.
		By the mid-1980s, Roeder and his colleagues at The Rockefeller University had detected several other basic, or basal, components that, along with RNA polymerase, made up the core engine of the transcription machine.
		One critical basal transcription factor that Roeder's group found was TF Its main ingredient was thought to be a protein—dubbed TBP—known to seek out and bind to the TATA box that lies within many gene promoters.
