As Sir Isaac Newton wrote to his rival Robert Hooke, If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants..

One of those was Oswald Avery.owever, all the attention goes to only a few big names such as Crick and Watson. Oswald Avery is one of the unsung heroes of genetics, and it was his work in 1944 that concluded that DNA transmitted hereditary information. slide 1 of 5.
