| Nobel Prize Winners in Genetics |
| First of all there is no Nobel Prize in Genetics. All of the Nobel Prizes given for genetic discoveries have been in Medicine or Chemistry. I am posting these Nobel Prize winners because it's important to know about what discoveries have been made in the past and who made them. Almost all of this information is from the Nobel Prize site. |
