Charles Yanofsky was an American geneticist on the faculty of Stanford University who contributed to the establishment of the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis and discovered attenuation, a riboswitch mechanism in which messenger RNA changes shape in response to a small molecule and thus alters its binding ability for the regulatory region of a gene or operon.
Charles Yanofsky is read about 6 times a day, in 10 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
