Summary

This book is the second volume of important scientific discoveries made at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The first volume covered the period from 1903 to 1969. The second book covers the succeeding twenty years?an era of quickening pace in molecular and cellular biology.Of the 1500 publications published from the Laboratory in this period, 30 are featured in this volume because they opened a new scientific area; marked an important milestone; or brought a field to intellectual closure. Each paper is presented with a brief commentary, most written by one of its authors.
