Jukes, Thomas H. (Thomas Hughes), 1906-1999
In his letter Jukes, a biophysicist and cancer researcher, evoked the excitement but also the occasional skepticism--voiced by the virologist (later the ecologist) Barry Commoner, the biochemist Erwin Chargaff, and the plant virologist Norman Pirie--about efforts to elucidate the genetic code in the early 1960s. In particular, Jukes recounted his realization that the genetic code was likely fraught with ancillary features that gave clues about the course of evolution.
