  • Benzer concluded that his experiments meant the dissolution of the traditional characterization of the gene as simultaneously a unit of function, a unit of recombination, and a unit of mutation.

    “Benzer was quick to conclude that his experiments meant the dissolution of the traditional characterization of the gene as being simultaneously a unit of function, a unit of recombination, and a unit of mutation.”

    From From Mendel to epigenetics: History of genetics (2016) · cites this paper as [14]

  • Benzer proposed the cistron concept, a unit of genetic function identified by the cis-trans test, as a replacement for the classical concept of the gene.

    “Benzer proposed to adopt it as the basis for the definition of the new concept of the gene that he proposed, in replacement of the obsolescent ‘classical concept’, the ‘cistron’ concept. A cistron is a unit of genetic function, identified by applying a cis-trans test.”

    From From Mendel to epigenetics: History of genetics (2016) · cites this paper as [14]

  • Benzer showed that recombination can occur in many places within a single gene and that mutation events can affect a given gene at many sites, leading to the notion of punctual mutation.

    “Benzer showed that recombination (crossing over) can occur in many places within a single gene, and this allowed him to discover the fine molecular structure of the gene. Simultaneously, Benzer showed that mutation events could also affect a given gene at many sites. This was the origin of the notion of ‘punctual mutation’”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
