Philip P. Green
Philip Palmer Green (born July 5, 1950 in Durham , North Carolina ) is an American mathematician and geneticist at the University of Washington in Seattle , Washington .
Life
Green earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in Cambridge , Massachusetts in 1972 and a Ph.D. in 1976 from the University of California at Berkeley. in mathematics. In 1976 he received a professorship (assistant professor) for mathematics at Columbia University in New York City and was a guest member at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton , New Jersey in 1977/78 .
Green then turned to biology and worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Pathology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before joining Collaborative Research Inc. in Waltham , Massachusetts and the Department of Genetics at Washington University in St. Louis , Missouri , took over. Since 1992 he has been at the University of Washington in Seattle , Washington . There he is professor of genome research as well as bioengineering and computer science . Green is also doing research for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute .
Act
Green developed important computer programs that enabled the systematic and automated analysis of complex genomes . His calculation strategies provided the basis for gene mapping and - sequencing , among others of the human genome ( Human Genome Project ). Important insights into genetic evolution could also be gained. Green realized that only a small part of the genes develop slowly enough to obtain sequences that are sufficiently similar to be recognized as related in phylogenetically distant organisms ( homology ). Green was one of the first to recognize that the number of human genes must be considerably lower than the previously estimated number of 100,000.
