Jumping Genes for Barbara, ahead of her time!!!

Barbara McClintock (Now famous for "jumping genes" (transposons). People plowed over her research fields to make a parking lot...("When the field behind the Library, which had been Barbara McClintock’s cornfield, was cleared to make the parking lot, I found quite a few points but they were not indigenous to that area. I asked Barbara McClintock about the field and she told me that the soil came from another location."
