PSU professors to be on Time magazine list
The Penn State professors behind the famous project that sequenced the genome of the woolly mammoth are joining the likes of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Tina Fey in Time magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people.
Stephan Schuster and Webb Miller led the team that became the first to report the DNA sequencing of an extinct animal.
“Last year, Schuster, 47, and Miller, 65, both of Penn State University, successfully sequenced the DNA of the 20,000-year-old woolly mammoth,” the story by scientist J. Craig Venter reads. “In doing so, they helped science overcome what had been seen as an insurmountable obstacle.”
