In the high-tech environment of today, we sometimes forget where things come from.<br /><br />I am a historian of biology based in the University of Edinburgh (UK) and have devoted a substantial part of my academic life to investigate Sanger's career. I interviewed him and went through his laboratory notebooks, in order to attempt to explain his shift from protein to nucleic acid sequencing and from degradation to copying sequencing strategies.<br /><br />I recently published a book on the history of sequencing and the first two chapters are dedicated to Sanger:<br />http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=407773<br /><br />Please, feel free to disseminate among colleagues or libraries. I've got discount flyers if anyone is interested and could send those to you if you write to miguel.gsancho@ed.ac.uk<br /><br />Congrats on the blog!<br /><br />All best,<br />Miguel Garcia-Sancho (PhD)<br />Department of Science, Technology and Innovation Studies<br />University of Edinburgh (UK)<br />http://www.sps.ed.ac.uk/staff/science_technology_and_innovation_studies/garcia_sanchez_sancho_miguel<br />Miguel Garcia-Sanchohttp://www.sps.ed.ac.uk/staff/science_technology_and_innovation_studies/garcia_sanchez_sancho_miguelnoreply@blogger.com
