 SCIENTIST AT WORK - Walter Gilbert
Instead, Dr. Gilbert suggests, the first genetic elements were simple modules, the forerunners of today's exons, and the exons were then mixed and matched to build up the lengthy chains that make longer and longer genes.
Dr. Gilbert an dhis colleagues have developed interesting evidence in support of the "exon theory of genes." If genes were originally assembled Tinker Toy-style, some signs of the connectors and joints, as well as of the modules, should still be visible.
Gilbert acknowledges that the data are not overwhelming, but notes that the flood of new data from genome sequencing projects will soon allow the theory to be put to a more exact test.
