By 1984, he and Brookhaven colleague John Dunn successfully identified and cloned the protein within T7 that was responsible for rapidly copying T7 DNA into many corresponding strands of RNA — a critical step in the bacteriophage’s ability to infect E. coli genome and let the E. coli had no built-in way to shut it off.

Mutations in a gene may cause structural changes in its protein product, which can lead to a loss of function and consequently to the onset of a disease. They also involve multiple mutations in non-coding regions of DNA – the ‘dark genome’ which makes up around 98% of our DNA.
