Figures and data for 'RNA synthesis in different organs of early chick embryos' (Waddington, Perkowska and Takata), c.1966

 Item
Identifier: Coll-41/4/19

Scope and Contents

Contains: printed pamphlet titled 'Information Exchange Group 7: Nucleic Acids and the Genetic Code' (09 June 1966), containing the essay 'RNA Synthesis in different organs of early chick embryos', by Waddington, Perkowska and Takata, plus hand-drawn graphs on graph paper on various DNA/RNA/experiments on chick embryos and tadpoles. The material also includes long printouts of data on thin paper strips, seemingly readings from experiments, labelled 'Results from Genetics Lab', with handwritten notes on each strip noting information like 'Brain III count', '2 days, Heart' etc. Although boxed separately, both were originally labelled 'Results from genetics lab'. Upon examination, it does appear that the data strips are related to the material for the Waddington, Perkowska and Takata study.
