Sol Spiegelman, 68, pioneering microbiologist whose research on DNA and RNA, the nucleic acids that carry life's hereditary coding, helped lay the foundation for genetic engineering; in New York City. Spiegelman showed how RNA serves as a kind of blueprint whose coded genetic information orders up the production of substances, and also discovered key links between viruses and human cancer...
