The 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Phillip Sharp and Richard Roberts in recognition of their discovery of the splite gene. However, when the discovery was published in Cell, Volume 11, Issue 4, 1977, the author of the paper was named Zhou Zhen, a female scientist born in Hunan, China (later living in the United States from Taiwan), and the award-winning Roberts was not signature. The second paper was published in the same year, Vol. 12, No. 1 of the same journal. The first author was still Zhou Yan, and Roberts, a laboratory colleague, signed the last (much like the status of corresponding author in most articles). The Nobel Committee has ruled out Zhou Yi, who has been in the United States for 28 years in scientific research and is unwilling to join U.S. citizenship, and people are naturally unhappy.

It is said that the Nobel Committee at the time mistakenly believed that Roberts was the director of the laboratory. In fact, the laboratory did not have a clear director at the time. Of course, Roberts was not the director of any laboratory. It was just that Zhou Wei and Roberts had a different division of labor. Sign the first and last questions. In his work, Dr. Zhou Min's contribution is significantly greater than Roberts! Taking a step back, if Roberts was the director of Zhou Yishi's laboratory at the time, Zhou Yi's other paper would not have written Roberts' name. Another important reason for this was that James Watson, then the director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Nobel Laureate, strongly recommended Roberts he liked, but did not recommend Zhou Yan.

Zhou Zhen s response to the Nobel Prize was, This is an irretrievable fact, and it is only waiting for a scientific historian to discover the truth.

In 1965, Zhou Zheng entered the California Institute of Technology's Biology Department, met Dr. Broker in Norman Davidson's laboratory, and later became married.
