Scott Ray Woodward〔Middle name from Google Book Search entry for his doctoral dissertation. See: (【引用サイトリンク】 work=Google Book Search )〕 is a microbiologist and molecular biologist who specializes in genetic genealogy and ancient DNA studies. He was a professor at Brigham Young University (BYU) from 1989 to 2003. He is currently the president and principal investigator for the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation. Woodward is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).〔("BYU Projects Aid Dead Sea Scrolls Studies" ), ''Ensign'', December 1995, pp. 70–71.〕 One of his main assistants in the molecular genealogy project is Ugo Perego. Woodward graduated from the College of Eastern Utah in 1978. He received his Ph.D. from the Utah State University, where he studied under Eldon Gardner. In 1989 he was made a professor at BYU. Early in his research career, he did DNA studies on Egyptian mummies and the Dead Sea Scrolls. He also led a team that worked to decipher dinosaur DNA.〔(''New York Times'', November 18, 1994 )〕 Woodward was involved in the discovery of the first genetic marker for cystic fibrosis. In 1991, Woodward was one of the BYU professors who suggested students be banned from driving cars to campus. In 1994, Woodward announced to have extracted and typed DNA from an 80-million-year-old Cretaceous dinosaur bone,〔Woodward SR, Weyand NJ, Bunnell M. (1994) DNA sequence from Cretaceous period bone fragments. Science. 1994 Nov 18;266(5188):1229-32〕 but S. Blair Hedges〔Hedges SB, Schweitzer MH. (1995) Detecting dinosaur DNA. ''Science''. 1995 May 26;268(5214):1191-2〕 and other ancient DNA experts 〔 Zischler H, Höss M, Handt O, von Haeseler A, van der Kuyl AC, Goudsmit J. (1995) Detecting dinosaur DNA. Science. 1995 May 26;268(5214):1192-3〕 demonstrated that Woodward had really sequenced human DNA. Woodward has served as a visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1994–1995. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Woodward」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
