Everything about George E Fox totally explained
Professor
George Edward Fox (born December 17, 1945) is a researcher at
The University of Houston. Co-discoverer of
Archaea, the third domain of life and the concept of a
progenote as a primordial entity, with
Carl Woese in the early 70's. While with Woese, he pioneered use of comparative analysis in prediction of RNA secondary structure. Using comparative analysis, he also recognized the limitations that RNA sequences could provide when identifying closely related species. His research centers around understanding the early
evolution of life. He contends that one of the earliest components of the genetic machinery to appear in a form bearing resemblance to its modern equivalent was the
ribosome. His research is actively involved in the search for biosignatures on
Mars.
Fox received his Bachelor of Arts from
Syracuse University in 1967, completed his Ph.D. at the Syracuse University in 1974 both in chemical engineering. From 1973-1977 he was a research associate with
