New research supporting the more than one gene theory involving manic-depression has met criticism from two Stanford geneticists. Two papers published in the Apr 1996 issue of Nature Genetics studied 2 isolated families in which chromosomes 18, 6, 13, and 5 are found to be associated with the disease.

Article Abstract:
Woese discovered the archaea, single-celled organisms so distinguished from bacteria as to constitute a separate domain of life, in 1977, after decades of solitary, painstaking sequencing. He was rejected by the microbiology community and remains bitter for his lack of recognition.
