The hormone responsible, insulin, was not discovered until Frederick Sanger sequenced it in 1953.

At its peak of popularity eugenics was supported by a wide variety of prominent people, including Winston Churchill, Margaret Sanger, Marie Stopes, H. G. Wells, Theodore Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, John Harvey Kellogg, Linus Pauling and Sidney Webb.

Margaret Higgins Sanger ( September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966 ) was an American birth control activist, sex educator, and nurse.

Margaret Sanger was born as Margaret Higgins in Corning, New York.

Sanger was the sixth of eleven children, and spent much of her youth assisting with household chores and caring for her younger siblings.

Searching for something that would help these women, Sanger visited public libraries, but was unable to find information on contraception.

These problems were epitomized in a story that Sanger would later recount in her speeches: while Sanger was working as a nurse, she was called to Sadie Sachs ' apartment after Sachs had become extremely ill due to a self-induced abortion.

A few months later, Sanger was once again called back to the Sachs ' apartment — only this time, Sadie was found dead after yet another self-induced abortion.

" Although Sadie Sachs was possibly a fictional composite of several women Sanger had known, this story marks the time when Sanger began to devote her life to help desperate women before they were driven to pursue dangerous and illegal abortions.

Sanger was indicted in August 1914 on three counts of violating obscenity laws and a fourth count of " inciting murder and assassination ".

Nine days after the clinic opened, Sanger was arrested for breaking a New York state law that prohibited distribution of contraceptives, and went to trial in January 1917.

" Sanger was offered a more lenient sentence if she promised to not break the law again, but she replied: " I cannot respect the law as it exists today.

Sanger became estranged from her husband in 1913, and the couple's divorce was finalized in 1921.

After Sanger discovered that physicians were exempt from the law that prohibited the distribution of contraceptive information to women — provided it was prescribed for medical reasons — she established the Clinical Research Bureau ( CRB ) in 1923 to exploit this loophole.

The first protein to be sequenced was insulin, by Frederick Sanger, in 1949.

The Tasmanian devil's genome was sequenced in 2010 by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

In 1979, Gilbert was awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University together with Frederick Sanger.

Gilbert was awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, shared with Frederick Sanger and Paul Berg.

During the early 20th century, prominent feminist and birth control advocate Margaret Sanger argued that abstinence from sexual activity led to greater endurance and strength, and was a sign of the best of the species:

Byrne was tried and convicted first, and went on a hunger strike ; Sanger was convicted and served 30 days in jail.

DNA sequencing is used to determine the nucleotides in a DNA strand ; the chain termination method ( dideoxy sequencing or Sanger method ) uses a primer as a start marker for the chain reaction.

The first DNA-based genome to be sequenced in its entirety was that of bacteriophage Φ-X174 ; ( 5, 368 bp ), sequenced by Frederick Sanger in 1977.

* 1978 — Frederick Sanger presented the 5, 386 base sequence for the virus PhiX174 ; first sequencing of an entire genome.

The project included new sidewalks, decorative red brick paving, granite curbing and newly-planted trees along Main Street ; Victorian street lamps line Main Street and Sanger Avenue ( NYS Rt.

In the early 1960s, Sukarno went on to marry 4 more wives: Kartini Manoppo ; Yurike Sanger ; Heldy Djafar ; Amelia de la Rama.

Sanger remained exiled in Europe until late 1915 ; William Sanger had been arrested and jailed for distributing one copy of " Family Limitation ", and Margaret Sanger returned to face the charges against her.

Personal tragedy intervened when the Sanger's five-year-old daughter died suddenly from pneumonia ; public sentiments resulted in dismissal of the charges against Margaret Sanger.

was the first freely available assembler who could assemble 454 reads and mixtures of 454 reads and Sanger reads ; using sequences from different sequencing technologies was subsequently coined hybrid assembly.

The Ferrer Center opened with only nine students, one being the son of Margaret Sanger, the contraceptives-rights activist ; Man Ray, too, was a student.

Tom Sneddon, Ron Zonen, Mag Nicola and Gordon Auchinloss examined witnesses for the prosecution ; Tom Mesereau and Robert Sanger for the defense.

These techniques for sequencing DNA generate shorter fragments than Sanger sequencing ; 454 pyrosequencing typically produces ~ 400 bp reads, Illumina and SOLiD produce 25-75 bp reads.

For the purposes of the Association, the boundaries of the community shall run along the East side of the Roosevelt Boulevard from the Southern line of Friends Hospital to Castor Avenue and Sanger Street ; Sanger Street to Oxford Avenue ; West side of Oxford Avenue to proximity of Leiper Street ; proximity of Leiper Street to Orthodox Street ; South side of Orthodox Street to Castor Avenue, Castor Avenue to Wyoming Avenue ; Wyoming Avenue to Ramona Avenue ; Ramona Avenue to Fishers Lane, Fishers Lane to the Southern line of Friends Hospital North to East side of Roosevelt Boulevard.

Steve Cochran and Robert Sanger continued to represent Mr. Jackson, although Cochran left the team prior to trial ( See transcripts for case no.

Based on motions filed by Sanger, the judge ruled that the prosecution could subpoena the financial records, but that they would only be opened in the trial after he heard testimony that they are relevant.

Sanger begins investigating the details of the murder himself, eventually teaming up with Riley beyond the observation of the trial's suspicious judge.

With his wife's consent, Wells had affairs with a number of women, including the American birth control activist Margaret Sanger and novelist Elizabeth von Arnim.

Sanger felt that in order for women to have a more equal footing in society and to lead healthier lives, they needed to be able to determine when to bear children.

In 1913, Sanger worked as a nurse at Henry Street Settlement in New York's Lower East Side, often with poor women who were suffering due to frequent childbirth and self-induced abortions.

Sanger would sometimes end the story by saying, " I threw my nursing bag in the corner and announced ... that I would never take another case until I had made it possible for working women in America to have the knowledge to control birth.

Earlier books such as What Every Girl Should Know ( Margaret Sanger, 1920 ) and A Marriage Manual ( Hannah and Abraham Stone, 1939 ) had broken the silence in which many people, women in particular, had grown up in.

Also in 1923, Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in America, the Control Clinical Research Bureau in Manhattan, to provide contraceptive devices to women and collect accurate statistics to prove their safety and long-term effectiveness.
