    Microbes and their genes have been essential in discovering DNA as genetic material and are now used to detect COVID-19 through PCR analysis, produce pharmaceuticals, and develop targeted cancer therapies. Esther Lederberg was a pioneer in microbial genetics, the study of how microorganisms inherit information, but despite responsible for discoveries that shaped biological research, she never achieved the same fame as male colleagues and missed out on a Nobel Prize.

    Microbes are widely used for scientific development.

    Microbes and their genes have been essential in


    discovering DNA as genetic material and, today, they are useful for different purposes – for instance:

     the detection of CoViD-19 (Sars-Cov-2 is its full virus name) by Polymerase Chain
    Reaction (PCR) analysis of nose swabs,
     pharmaceuticals production
     targeted therapies, including cancer therapies.

    Esther Lederberg was a pioneer of microbial genetics, which is the study of the processes how
    microorganisms can inherit information. Even though she is responsible for discoveries that shaped
    the direction of subsequent biological research, she never achieved the same fame as her male
    colleagues and missed out on a Nobel Prize.
