Biographical
Barbara McClintock (June 16, 1902 - September 2, 1992) is an American geneticist who discovered transposable elements while seeking to explain the coloring patters of maize (corn) seeds. Her work was overlooked for many years, because it did not fit the then-accepted models of genetics. McClintock was born in Brooklyn, NY. She earned her B.A. and Ph.D. from Cornell University. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983.
