Abstract

Daniel Nathans (1928-99) pioneered the use of restriction endonucleases for the genetic analysis of cells and viruses. Focusing on the genome of simian virus 40, a small DNA tumor virus, Nathans developed many of the modern methods used to analyze DNA and set the stage for the recombinant DNA revolution. He shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with Hamilton O Smith and Werner Arber.
