Roberts has worked at Harvard University, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and New England Biolab.
He was knighted in the 2008 Birthday Honours.
It used to be thought that each gene on DNA coded for a single protein in a continuous strip.
Roberts and Sharp independently found out that the genes in adenovirus (which causes the common cold), were split into segments that were combined later in RNA processing.
In 1997 Roberts proved that in the adenovirus coding DNA is separated by stretches of DNA which are non-coding.
The coding sections are exons, and the non-coding sections are introns.
Furthermore, it turned out that this structure occurs in all higher organisms.
The discovery that a gene in could be present in the genetic material as several distinct and separate segments was revolutionary.
The second part of Robert's work was in gene-splitting and gene splicing.
This means to cut pieces out of, and add pieces to, a coding sequence.
This creates a protein which works differently from the original version.
This is now used in genetic engineering.
Suggested effect on evolution
This kind of structure may allow more flexible responses to environmental change, and so speed up evolution.
The structure may also be responsible for a number of inherited genetic defects.
"Earlier it was believed that genes evolve mainly through the accumulation of small discrete changes in the genetic material.
But their mosaic gene structure also permits higher organisms to restructure genes in another, more efficient way.
This is because during the course of evolution, gene segments - the individual pieces of the mosaic - are regrouped in the genetic material, which creates new mosaic patterns and hence new genes.
This reshuffling process presumably explains the rapid evolution of higher organisms".
Etta Baker (March 31, 1913 – September 23, 2006) was an American blues guitarist and singer from North Carolina, United States.
She played in the Piedmont blues style.
Baker was born Etta Lucille Reid in Caldwell County, North Carolina of African American, Native American, and European American origin.
Since the age of three she played 6- and 12-string guitar and Banjo.
She was thought by her father, who was also a Piedmont blues musician.
She did her first recording in 1956, when folk singer Paul Clayton was asked by her father to listen to his daughter.
She played "One Dime Blues" and Clayton was very impressed.
Next day he did some recordings with his taperecorder in Etta Bakers home.
Over the years she played with different musicians like Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
Etta Baker had nine children, one of them died in the Vietnam War.
She died at the age of 93 in Fairfax, Virginia, while visiting a daughter who had suffered a stroke.

He discovered the genetic mechanism that produces antibody diversity.
Although he won the Nobel Prize for his work in immunology, Tonegawa is a molecular biologist by training.
In his later years, he has turned his attention to the molecular and cellular basis of memory.
Tonegawa is best known for elucidating the genetic mechanism in the adaptive immune system.
If each antibody was coded by one gene, it would take millions of genes to protect against antigens.
Instead, as Tonegawa showed in a landmark series of experiments beginning in 1976, genetic material can rearrange itself to form the vast array of available antibodies.
The main mechanism is called RNA splicing.
Antibodies have a 'variable region' in their structure.
Tonegawa compared the DNA of B cells (a type of white blood cell) in embryonic and adult mice.
He found that genes in the mature B cells of the adult mice are moved around, recombined, and deleted to make the many versions of the variable region of antibodies.
The critical work
The critical work was started in Basle, Switzerland, and later at MIT. "
Our work resolved the long held debate on the genetic origin of antibody diversity.
It turned out that this diversity is generated by somatic recombination of the inherited gene segments and by somatic mutation".

A chamber pot (also a chamberpot), a piss pot, a potty, a po, a gazunder, or a thunder pot) is a container with a handle, usually used as a urinal at night.
It is kept in a bedroom under a bed or in a nightstand.
The chamber pot was originally designed for females.
Called the Bourdaloue, it allowed women to urinate squatting or sitting without accidents.
It was supposedly named after the French Catholic priest Louis Bourdaloue, whose sermon were so long that women brought Bourdaloue so they could urinate without having to leave.
In the 19th century, water closets started to be more common than chamber pots, but chamber pots were still used until the mid-20th century.
Today, they are used in countries that have no indoor plumbing.
In North America and the UK, "potty" refer to the toilets made especially for potty training.
These toilets are similar to chamber pots.
In Korea, chamber pots are referred to as yogang (요강).
Currently, they are still used in some country regions in the North.
SimCity 2000 is a city building computer game released in 1994.

There were also roads, highways, and other buildings.
Jonathan Dickinson State Park is a Florida State Park and historic site in Martin County, Florida, between Hobe Sound and Tequesta.
The park has many kinds of areas, such as sand pine scrub, pine flatwoods, mangroves, and river swamps.
The Loxahatchee River, which was named a National Wild and Scenic River in 1985 (the first in Florida), runs through the park.
The address is 16450 S.E. Federal Highway, Hobe Sound.
The park is named after Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker merchant who was shipwrecked in 1696, with his family and others, on the Florida coast near the present-day park.
He wrote a journal about their encounters with local tribes, and their journey up the coast to St. Augustine.
A man known as Trapper Nelson lived on the banks of the Loxahatchee River after coming to the area in the 1930s, living off the land trapping and selling furs.
He soon became known as the Wildman of the Loxahatchee.
After he died in 1968 the state got his land, and gave it to the park.
The United States Army established Camp Murphy, a top-secret radar training school, in the area that is now the park, in 1942.
The camp included over 1,000 buildings, and housed more than 6,000 officers and soldiers.
The camp stopped being used in 1944, after only two years.
Most of the camp buildings were torn down, but some of the building foundations remain.
The property was given to the State of Florida in 1947, and opened as a state park in 1950.
Recreational activities
The park has such activities as bicycling, boat tours, boating, cabins, canoeing, fishing, hiking, horse trails, kayaking, picnicking areas, swimming, wildlife viewing and full camping facilities.
It also has the Elsa Kimbell Environmental Education and Research Center, with exhibits about the park's natural and cultural history.
The park operates a 44-passenger boat for tours of Trapper Nelson's homestead.

Phillip Allen Sharp (born June 6, 1944) is an  American geneticist and molecular biologist.
Sharp was born in Falmouth, Kentucky.
He completed his PhD in chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1969.
After completing his PhD he worked at the California Institute of Technology until 1971, where he studied plasmids and, later, gene expression in human cells at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under James Watson.
In 1974 he was offered a position at MIT by biologist Salvador Luria.
He was director of MIT's Center for Cancer Research (now the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research) from 1985 to 1991; head of the Biology department from 1991 to 1999; and director of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research from 2000 to 2004.
In 1997 Sharp and Roberts independently found out that genes were split into segments that were combined later in RNA processing.
Sharp and Roberts proved that the coding DNA is separated by stretches of DNA which are non-coding.

The Anti-Comintern Pact was a pact between Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, which would later joined by more countries, in Berlin, Germany, on November 25, 1936.
It was set up directly against the Comintern, or Communist International, an organization that was led by the Soviet Union.
On November 6, 1937, Fascist Italy joined the pact, which was the beginning of the Axis Powers.

The Reichstag fire () was an arson (setting fire) on the Reichstag building, the meeting place of the German Parliament, in Berlin on 27 February 1933.
It was an important event in the creation of Nazi Germany.
A Berlin fire station was called, and by the time the police and firefighters had arrived, most of the building was covered in flames.
Inside the building, Marinus van der Lubbe was found.
He was a Dutch communist.
The Nazis said it proved that communists were beginning a plot against the German government.
Van der Lubbe and four Communist leaders were arrested shortly after that.
Adolf Hitler, who had become Chancellor of Germany four weeks before, urged President Paul von Hindenburg to pass an emergency law to fight back "the confrontation of the Communist Party of Germany".
As a result, Enabling Act of 1933 was passed.
The Reichstag Fire Decree was issued by German President von Hindenburg on the advice of Chancellor Adolf Hitler on 28 February 1933 in response to the Reichstag fire.
The decree suspended most civil liberties in Germany.
Many Communists were arrested, including all the Communist Party members of Parliament.
This made the Nazis the majority of the Parliament, and made Hitler's the dictator in effect.
The following elections gave Hitler more power.
More investigation continued.
In early March 1933, three men were brought to the court.
All of them were senior Bulgarian Comintern agents.
One Communist was found guilty and executed; the others were acquitted and went to the Soviet Union.
Historians still do not know who planned the fire or who did it.
It is still an ongoing topic of research.

Operation Sea Lion () was the plan to invade the United Kingdom by Nazi Germany during World War II.
The plan began in 1940.
However, Germany first had to control the sky and sea of the English Channel before a land invasion.
With the German Navy weakened during the German invasion of Norway and the German Air Force defeated in the Battle of Britain, the operation was put off on 17 September 1940 and so never happened.
He shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with John Kendrew, for their studies of the structures of haemoglobin and globular proteins.
The method used was mainly X-ray crystallography.
He went on to win the Royal Medal of the Royal Society in 1971 and the Copley Medal in 1979.
At Cambridge he founded and chaired (1962–79) The Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, fourteen of whose scientists have won Nobel Prizes.
Perutz's contributions to molecular biology in Cambridge are documented in The History of the University of Cambridge: Volume 4 (1870 to 1990) published by the Cambridge University Press in 1992.
Perutz was born in Vienna, Austria.
He had worked in Cambridge (Peterhouse College) since 1936, and moved to Britain permanently after the Anschluss, the Nazi takeover of Austria.
He did his war work in Canada, and returned to Cambridge after the war.
Max did some of his most important work after winning the Nobel award, and is still held in the highest esteem.

The Battle of Moscow (, ) is a name given by Soviet historians to two periods of fighting on a 600 km area of the Eastern Front during World War II.
It took place between October 1941 and January 1942.
The Soviet defenses stopped the German attack on Moscow, the Soviet capital, which was one of the Axis's primary military and political objectives in the invasion of the Soviet Union.
The German strategic offensive named Operation Typhoon was planned to attack Moscow from the north and south.
The Soviets reacted by sending in more reserve from the Far East.
Shortly, German attacks were stopped, and the Soviets began counter-attack and forced to push the Axis back.
Battle of Moscow September 1941-January 1942
The Second Battle of El Alamein was a great turning point in the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War.
The battle lasted from 23 October to 5 November 1942.
The First Battle of El Alamein had stopped the Axis from attacking deep into Egypt further.
Thereafter, Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery took command of the British Eighth Army in August 1942.
In the second battle he took the offensive, with great success.
The Allied victory turned the tide in the North African Campaign.
It ended Axis's hopes of occupying Egypt, taking control of the Suez Canal, and reaching the Middle Eastern oil fields.

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a very small New World monkey that lives in Brazil.
Marmosets can found in many forest habitats.
Common marmosets eat gum, sap, latex, and resin from trees the most out of all the members of the Callithrix family.
A common group of marmosets is made up of 15 members, but usually has nine members.
Common marmosets have a complex mating system.
In a group of marmosets, there will usually be one or two females that will have babies and one male to be the father.
The females are usually closely related, while the male is distantly related.
If the male dies, the group will break up and form new groups.
When marmosets get older, they leave the group they were raised with.
To show fear or submission, marmosets flatten their ear-tufts close to their heads.
Marmoset alarm calls tend to be brief and high-pitched.
Marmosets monitor and find group members with calls called "trills".
It is any nucleotide sequence within a gene that is removed by RNA splicing to get the final RNA product of a gene.
The term intron refers to both the DNA sequence within a gene, and the corresponding sequence in RNA transcripts.
Sequences of coding DNA which are joined together in the final RNA after RNA splicing are exons.
They code for amino acids in the final polypeptide.
Introns are in the genes of most organisms and many viruses.
They can be in a wide range of genes, including those that generate proteins, ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA).
RNA splicing takes place after transcription and before translation.
Introns: parts of a gene which are discarded: non-working bits.
Exons: parts of a gene which are expressed: bits of a gene which code for amino-acid sequences in a protein.
The discovery of introns led to the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1993 for Phillip Sharp and  Richard Roberts.
The term intron was introduced by American biochemist Walter Gilbert.
Biological meaning
There are many unanswered questions about introns.
It is unclear whether introns serve some specific function, or whether they are selfish DNA which reproduces itself as a parasite.
Recent studies of entire eukaryotic genomes have now shown that the lengths and density (introns/gene) of introns varies considerably between related species.
There are four or five different kinds of intron.
Some introns represent mobile genetic elements (transposons).
Alternative splicing of introns within a gene allows a variety of protein isoforms from a single gene.
Thus multiple related proteins can be generated from a single gene and a single precursor mRNA transcript.
The control of alternative RNA splicing is performed by complex network of signalling molecules.
In humans, ~95% of genes with more than one exon are alternatively spliced.

Flagler County, in Florida, United States, was created in 1917.
It was named for Henry Morrison Flagler, a famous railroad builder who built the Florida East Coast Railway.
In 1998, when two brush fires threatened to become one huge brush fire in Flagler County, a mandatory evacuation was ordered for the entire county.
This was the first and so far the only time a whole county was evacuated in Florida.
Flagler is also a sports town.
Three Flagler baseball teams have made it to the State Tournament in the last 2 years.
According to the 2000 census, the county has a total area of , of which  (or 84.97%) is land and  (or 15.03%) is water.

David James "Mac" McAllister (born 12 January 1971) is a German politician of the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
On 1 July 2010 he was elected Minister-President of the state of Lower Saxony, succeeding Christian Wulff, who resigned following his election as President of Germany.
Until 2013, McAllister headed a coalition government with the liberal FDP, the Cabinet McAllister.
In 2013, he was succeeded by Social Democrat Stephan Weil.
Since 2014 he has been a Member of the European Parliament.
A lawyer by profession, he has been the chairman of the CDU parliamentary group in the Landtag of Lower Saxony from 2003 to 2010 and was elected chairman of the state party from 2008 until 2016.
From 2010 until 2013, he was also a member of the supervisory board of Volkswagen.
McAllister was born in West Berlin on 12 January 1971 to a Scottish father and a German mother.
His father, James Buchanan McAllister, was a British civil servant, originally from Glasgow (where the family still has relatives).
He had been stationed in West Berlin since 1969, attached to the Royal Corps of Signals.
His mother, Mechthild McAllister, is a music teacher.
David McAllister was raised bilingual (speaking English and German) and attended a British primary school in Berlin.
After his parents moved to the small town of Bad Bederkesa in Lower Saxony in 1982, he went to the Lower Saxon Internatsgymnasium (boarding school) in Bederkesa, where he took his Abitur in 1989.
From 1989 till 1991, McAllister served as a soldier in the Bundeswehr, in Panzerbataillon 74 in Cuxhaven.
From 1991–96 he studied law with a scholarship of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation at the University of Hanover.
In 1994, McAllister became local chairman of the Junge Union, the CDU youth organisation, in the Cuxhaven district.
David McAllister is both a German and a British citizen, but says that he is "more or less completely German.
I've lived in Germany all my life.
I did all my school in Germany and my military service in Germany."
His upbringing in West Berlin, however, he describes as "very British" with "British network, British schools".
Holding dual citizenship, he could have relinquished his German citizenship to avoid compulsory military service in Germany (the UK does not have compulsory military service), but opted to serve instead.
McAllister has said that "my upbringing in West Berlin may have had an impact on my resentment towards communists.
I became a member of the CDU when I was 17 – it was a birthday present.
My parents said, 'What do you want for your birthday?’
I said I wanted to become a member of the CDU", explaining that his father was a Conservative, although none of his parents were involved in party politics.
From 1996 till 2010, McAllister was a member of the Cuxhaven district council (Kreistag).
He served as mayor of his hometown of Bad Bederkesa from 2001 to 2002.
From 2002 to 2003, he also was secretary general of the CDU in Lower Saxony.
Since 2003, McAllister has been the leader of the CDU parliamentary party group in the Parliament of Lower Saxony, of which he has been a member since 1998.
McAllister succeeded Christian Wulff as party chairman of the CDU in Lower Saxony in June 2008, winning the election by a record margin.
In 2016, he was succeeded by Bernd Althusmann.
In the United Kingdom, McAllister is a supporter of the Conservative Party.
Minister-President of Lower Saxony
On 4 June 2010, he was chosen by his party to follow Christian Wulff as Minister-President of Lower Saxony, if the latter was to be elected President of Germany on 30 June.
After the election of Wulff as President, David McAllister was elected the new Minister-President of Lower Saxony the following day.
In 2013, he lost the re-election to Stephan Weil, of the Social Democrats.
He was subsequently also appointed to the supervisory board of Volkswagen, the largest company of Lower Saxony and of which the state of Lower Saxony is a major stockholder.
He is married to Dunja McAllister, who is also a lawyer.
They have two daughters, Jamie Elizabeth and Mia Louise.
He lives in Bad Bederkesa in the district of Cuxhaven.
Proud of his Scottish heritage, McAllister proposed to his wife at Loch Ness, and married in August 2003, wearing a kilt.
He later explained it was a family tradition.

A spliceosome is a complex of special RNA and protein subunits.
Spliceosomes are amazingly complex molecular machines.
They remove introns from a transcribed pre-mRNA segment.
This process is generally referred to as splicing.

RNA splicing is a stage in gene transcription.
Messenger RNA (mRNA), which transfers the code from DNA to proteins, is built in two stages.
In the first stage, each gene is translated into a pre-mRNA.
Then the exons in pre-mRNAs are joined by splicing, which is done in the spliceosomes.
This is needed because the gene is split into code sections called exons and non-coding sections called introns.
The exons are brought together by splicing.
So, in molecular biology, splicing is a process where introns are removed and exons are joined.
This makes the final mRNA.
This messenger RNA is then used to produce a correct protein by translation.
In many cases, the splicing process creates a range of unique proteins by varying the exon composition of the same messenger RNA.
This phenomenon is called alternative splicing.
Alternative splicing can occur in many ways.
Eukaryotes vs prokaryotes
Splicing occurs in all the kingdoms or domains of life, however, the extent and types of splicing can be very different between the major divisions.
Eukaryotes splice many protein-coding messenger RNAs and some non-coding RNAs.
Prokaryotes, on the other hand, splice rarely.
Another important difference is that prokaryotes completely lack spliceosomes.
The coding regions of the gene are separated by non-coding DNA which is not involved in protein expression.
The non-coding regions, the introns, are cut from the precursor mRNAs in a process Sharp called "splicing".
