The History of
Biotechnology
http://www.i-s-b.org/wissen/timeline/englisch/

1859
Charles Darwin publishes his
book (On the Origin of
Species by Means of
Natural Selection).
According to this book
evolution is lifes motor.
The interplay of mutation
and selection endows living
beings with optimized traits
in order to survive. These
principles are also valid for
the so-called 'chemical
evolution' of biomolecules
and are being used in
laboratories for in vitro
optimizing of wanted
qualities in molecules

1865
Gregor Mendel finds that
independent 'factors' are
responsible for the heredity
of traits from one
generation to the next
according to a set of
(Mendelian) priciples.

1869
Friedrich Miescher discovers
an acidic substance in the
nucleus of cells which he
names 'nuclein'. By
elemental analysis he finds
14 % nitrogen, 3 %
phosphorus, and 2 % sulfur
(from proteins). Since the
substance cannot be
cleaved by the proteolytic
enzyme pepsin Miescher
concludes that this
substance is not a protein.

1879
Walther Flemming observes
the separation of
chromosomes during
mitosis but fails to fully
understand its meaning. He
counts 24 pairs of
chromosomes, a number
which will be corrected to
23 later in 1956 by the
Indonesian scientist JoeHan Tijo.

1900
William Bateson introduces
'genetics' as a scientific
discipline
Hugo de Vries, Erich Tschermak
von Seysenegg and Carl Correns
independently rediscover the
Mendelian principles
Hugo de Vries
defines the
meaning of
'mutations'

1902
Walter Sutton observes in
grasshoppers' cells that
chromosomes carry the
Mendelian 'factors of
heredity', i.e. the genetic
information.

1909
Wilhelm Johansen coins the
terms 'gene', 'genotype',
and 'phenotype' referring to
Mendel's 'factors'.
Archibald Garrod confirms
the hereditary nature of four
metabolic diseases. He
publishes "Inborn Errors of
Metabolism"

1910
Thomas Hunt Morgan's
studies in the biology of
Drosophila melanogaster
confirm that certain traits
are inherited sexspecifically. He also proves
that some phenotypes
result from several genes
located on different
chromosomes.

1927
Herman Muller finds that
energetic radiation causes
defects in the
chromosomes, i.e.
mutations.

1928

Pneumococcus pneumoniae

Fred Griffith demonstrates

that material from killed
bacteria of the pathogenic
strain Streptococcus
pneumoniae S ('smooth') is
taken up from living ones of
the non-pathogenic strain
Streptococcus pneumoniae
R ('rough') which are
subsequently 'transformed'
into the pathogenic S-strain.

1944

Oswald Theodore Avery, Colin McLeod, and Maclyn

McCarty find by careful analysis of Griffith' experiments
that desoxynucleic acid (DNA) is the carrier of the
'transforming principle'.

1945
Erwin Schrdinger proposes
in his famous book 'What is
life?' that genes must be
'aperiodic crystals'
consisting of a succession
of a small number of
isomeric elements whose
precise sequence
constitutes the heredity
code. Although these ideas
do nothing to identify the
responsible molecular
structures, they attract
many newcomers to the
field.

1950
Erwin Chargaff observes the
1:1 ratio of the nucleic
bases adenine/thymine and
guanine/cytosine. This will
be a decisive hint for
Watson & Crick to the
structure of the DNA
molecule.

1952
Alfred Day Hershey's and Martha
Chase's studies in bacteriophages
prove that only the nucleic acids carry
the genetic information; proteins are
definitively excluded from playing this
role.

Joshua Lederberg finds plasmids in

bacteria, small rings of
extrachromosomal DNA which can be
replicated autonomously.

1953

James D. Watson and Francis H. C. Crick elucidate the

structure of the DNA molecule. It consists of two strands
which are bound by hydrogen bonds bewtween opposite
basepairs of adenine-thymine and cytosine-guanine. Their
model is based on the results of many colleages, namely
Rosalind Franklin who discovered the helical structure and
the outward position of the phosphate-sugar backbone.

1955
Frederick Sanger finds a
method to sequence
proteins. With this he
determines the sequence of
the amino acids of insulin.

1956..
Arthur Kornberg reports the first in vitro
synthesis of a DNA molecule.

George Emile Palade

locates protein
biosynthesis to the
ribosomes, the
'factories of the cell'.

1956
Joe Han Tijo and Albert Levan correct
the number of the chromosome pairs
in human cells to 23. Since the days
of Walther Flemming 24 was believed
to be the true number.

Chromosomen einer
menschlichen Zelle

protein chains are built at the ribosomes

1959
T. Akiba, T. Koyama, Y.
Isshiki, S. Kimua, T.
Fukushima, T. Watanabe
and T. Fukusawa describe
the transfer of multiple
resistance to antibiotics by
bacterial plasmids.
Plasmids turn out to be
efficient vectors for
trafficking genetic
information between
bacteria of different strains.

1960

Francois Jacob and Jaques Monod recognize the function

of the messenger RNA (mRNA). They develop the operon
model of gene regulation in procaryotes.

1961
Sydney Brenner and Francis Crick
claim that every amino acid
corresponds to a triplett of
nucleotides, called 'codons'.
Marshall Nirenberg and
Heinrich Mathaei can
prove that the codon UUU
in mRNA codes for the
amino acid phenyl alanine

1962
John Gurdon claims to have
reproduced frogs from the
epithelium cells of Xenopus
laevis. J. B. S. Haldane
coins 'cloning' when
describing these debated
experiments.

1966
Mainly due to the work of Har
Gobind Khorana the
'Genetic Code' is
completely known.

1968
Werner Arber discovers
enzymes, so-called
nucleases, which digest
DNA double strands from
the ends.

1969
Jonathan Beckwith is
the first to isolate a
complete gene, in this
case a gene from the
bacterial sugar
metabolism.

1970
Hamilton Smith discovers an enzyme (HindII)
which specifically cleaves DNA double
strands
Har Gobind Khorana synthesizes
a complete gene (that of an
alanine t-RNA) in vitro.

David Baltimore and Howard Temin discover the

viral enzyme reverse transcriptase. It translates
RNA sequences to DNA sequences and thus
tumbles the age old 'Central Dogma of Genetics'
which defined the direction of the flow of the
genetic information to start from DNA via RNA to
the proteins.

1971
Paul Berg, Peter Loban, and
Dale Kaiser find enzymes
which attach short single
strands to the blunt ends of
double stranded DNA. The
single strands consist of
only one sort of nucleotides.
Complementary single
strands (sticky ends) allow
the coupling of ds DNA
fragments; the remaining
gaps can be closed by the
use of ligases.

1972

Janet Mertz and Ron Davis paste DNA fragments of

different origin resulting from specific enzymatic
restriction. They close the gaps using ligases and thus
produce recombinant DNA.

1973
Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer paste
enzymatically restricted DNA fragments into
plasmids which have been cleaved by
restriction enzymes. The resulting
recombinant plasmids can serve as vectors
for the transfer of foreign DNA into bacteria.
These experiments are generally regarded as
the beginning of the era of genetic
engineering and modern biotechnology.

1975
The first conference on safety issues of the new technology
is held at Asilomar in California.

Georges Khler and Cesar Milstein develop the 'Hybridoma

Technology' for the production of monoclonal antibodies. An
antibody producing plasma cell (derived from a B
lymphocyte) is fused with a tumor cell resulting in an
immortal hybridoma cell which (as well as its daughters)
continues to produce one kind of antibodies.

1976
Herbert Boyer and Robert
Swanson found Genentech
the first biotech company.

1977

Walter Gilbert and Frederick Sanger independently

develop two different methods for DNA sequencing.

1978
Walter Gilbert discovers that
genes of eucaryotic
organisms are composed of
coding and non-coding
parts. The non-coding
sequences, named introns,
are cut from the mRNA
before translation leaving
the coding exons as the
source of information for
protein synthesis.

1979
Thomas Cech and Sydney Altman discover the
autocatalytic activity of some RNA molecules to
cleave themselves at well defined positions. They
coin 'ribozyme' for this type of RNA.

1980
Jozef Schell and Marc van Montagu transfer
foreign DNA into plant cells by employing Tplasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens as
vectors.

1981
The first patent for a genetically modified organism is granted
to Ananda Chakrabarty of General Electric. It covers a P.
aeruginosa strain which is equipped with genes of certain
enzymes in order to metabolize crude oil.

1982
The U.S. Food and Drug
Agency (FDA) approves
recombinant insulin for
marketing.

1984
Alec Jeffreys develops 'genetic fingerprinting' allowing the
comparison of minute variations, the so-called restriction
length fragment polymorphisms (RLFPs), in the genomes
of two organsims.

1985
Karry Mullis develops the
polymerase chain reaction
(PCR). This powerful tool
allows to copy and
accumulate extremely low
amounts of DNA from
various sources until a level
sufficient for analysis is
reached.

1986
Neal First develops protocols for
clonig cattle from bovine
embryos by separating cells at
early embryonic stages. These
experiments resemble John
Gurdons earlier attempts at the
cloning of frogs. The first cloning
of an adult animal will be
reported in 1997 by Ian Wilmut
who succeeds in cloning a
sheep, Dolly.

1988
The first patent for a
transgenic
mammal is granted
to Harvard's Philip
Leder and Timothy
Stewart. It refers to
a mouse which is
susceptible to
tumors and serves
as model organism
for studies in
cancer.

1990
French Anderson successfully tries the
first somatic gene therapy of a human.
Patient
Ashanti DeSilva is cured
from an deficiency in the
enzyme ADA, which
causes severe
immunodeficiency.

restrictions of the 1990
version are eased.

The Biotechnology
Industry Organization

the development of commercial
biotechnology to an
international jury. The three
winning regions will share the
price of DM 150m.

1996

The international Human Genome Project
(HGP) and biotech company Celera
Genomics publish their versions of the
sequence of the human genome. The
Celera team estimates the number of

Genome of SARS virus
sequenced
Within three weeks after its
discovery scientists of the
Michael Smith Genome
Sciences Centre in British
Columbia (Vancouver, Canada)
succeeded in sequencing the
genome of the virus causing
severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS). The RNA
virus remotely resembles
corona virus species and
contains roughly 30,000 genes.

2003
Germ cells from stem cells
Karin Hbner and Hans Schler
of the University of
Pennnsylvania succeeded in
generating oocytes from murine

identified genes
decreases again
compared with previous
estimations.

genes, 33 genes
appear to have been
degenerated into
disfunctional
pseudogenes.

2004

Fatherless mouse
Tomohiro Kono of the Tokyo
University of Agriculture presented
the first mouse which was obtained
from oocytes only. His team
combined the genomes of oocytes

from adult and

newborn mice and
eventually one of
460 experiments
resulted in a living
animal, being 14
month old at the
time of publication.
Critical for success
was the
suppression of a
gene which
normally controls
the imprinting of
chromosomal DNA
from mother and
father.

2004
Mice from cancer cells
Rudolph Jaenisch of MIT and Lynda Chin of the Dana
Farber Cancer Institute generated cloned mice from cancer
cells by stuffing the nuclei of melanoma cells into denucleated mouse oocytes. The resulting blastocysts yielded
stem cells which were suitable for transplantation into
normal blastocysts which eventually developed into living
animals. Some genetic markers of the melanoma cells were
found again in the animal, but the epigentic patterns had
gone lost - showing that epigenetic modifcations are both
reversible and late stage in the transformation of normal
cells into melanoma cells.
