Howard Temin is an American virologist who revolutionized molecular biology in 1965 when he found that genetic information in the form of ribonucleic acid (RNA) can be copied into deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This process, called reverse transcriptase,...

1934-1994 American biochemist and virologist who shared the 1975 Nobel Prize with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell. Temin developed the first...

Howard Martin Temin (December 10, 1934 – February 9, 1994) was a U.S. geneticist. Along with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore he discovered reverse transcriptase in the 1970s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, for which he shared the 1975...

Howard M. Temin, 59, a cancer researcher who received a Nobel Prize for medicine for his discovery of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme that plays a basic role in virology and was important in identifying the AIDS virus, died of cancer Feb. 9 at his...

I have come to expect being disappointed after reading the Arts section of the Sunday Globe. However, after reading the article by Christine Temin in your year-end issue (ArtsEtc., Dec. 28), I am completely disgusted. To say that the biggest story of 1997...
