The DNA Provirus: Howard Temin's Scientific Legacy

ASM Press is proud to publish this volume in honor of Nobel Prize winning virologist, Howard Temin. Temin's pioneering scientific achievements in elucidating the fundamentals of retroviruses laid the ground work for our present understanding of the molecular basis of both cancer and HIV. Few advances in contemporary molecular biology have been as significant or as controversial as Howard Temin's initial proposal of the DNA provirus hypothesis that turned molecular biology's central dogma on its head.
