 The Scientist : Oncologist Leads Research Group To Genetics' Cutting Edge
University of Wisconsin oncologist Waclaw Szybalski and two of his graduate students, Michael Koob and Eric Grimes, borrowed from Greek mythology to describe Achilles' heel cleavage, the bioengineering that allows them to cut long pieces of DNA in one predetermined spot.
Szybalski and graduate students Michael Koob (who received his Ph.D. in December) and Eric Grimes described the method in a series of papers (Science, 241:1084-6, 1988; 250:271-3, 1990; and Gene, 90:1-7, 1990).

 Chargaff's Legacy
For the circular lambdaphage genome, since genes to the left of the origin of replication are transcribed to the left, and genes to the right of this origin are transcribed to the right, the distribution of clusters also relates to the origin of replication (Szybalski et al., 1969).
Szybalski’s main interest was the possibility that the clustering played a role in the control of transcription.

There are lots of answers for such a question, but surely it helps to dazzle them on occasion with a mix of smart, mid- and senior-level scientists who remain every bit as absorbed in biology as they were when they began their own careers.
More to the point, he is an unsurpassed exponent of the annual mystique--notorious for peppering phage discussion sessions with his peculiar blend of questions, comments, and occasional reminiscences of odd experimental results or other unsolved riddles.
But their ghosts and those of others seem to be standing nearby in the shadows that Szybalski and characters like him still cast.
