It was not the odds-on favorite team, led by Vogelstein, that isolated the mutated gene first, but rather a less well-known pair of biochemists from New England -- Boston's Kolodner and Richard Fishel at the University of Vermont...
...When we read about the ((evidence of a colon-cancer gene)) in May, we realized that the genetic instability being describing was identical to one that we already knew about in yeast," Fishel says. So he and Kolodner and their colleagues decided to hunt for a human gene similar to the yeast version. In November they rushed their results to the research journal Cell, which decided to publish the paper on Dec. 3. "We heard from Dr. Vogelstein a couple of hours after our paper was accepted," Kolodner recalls. Vogelstein, realizing he was about to be outpaced, then pulled together...
...findings were published last Friday in Cell by the study's principal authors, Dr. Richard D. Kolodner, professor of biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology at the Medical School and Dr. Richard Fishel of the University of Vermont. A follow-up article will be published by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center within two weeks...
...Reynolds Tobacco Co. vehemently denies the allegations. "We can track 98% of Camel sales, and they're not going to youngsters," says David Fishel, a company spokesman.
