‘Extreme’ genes sheds light on origins of photosynthesis
Scientist Jeffrey Touchman has been working on filling the gaps in evolution to find out where photosynthesis first took place. With more research, he may be able to find the link between anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.
I was originally trained as a Quantitative Geneticist [Va. Tech] and worked for Holly Farms Breeders, N.C. (back in the day!). I subsequently received post-doctoral training in Nutritional Biochemistry [Columbia] and Protein Chemistry [Rutgers]. I was on faculty at Penn State in the Department of Poultry Science from 1987-2009. I have an active genetical and statistical consulting business and am currently an Associate Professor at Stockton University.
