"When it comes to genetics research, the March of Dimes has always been there. March of Dimes grantees have gone on to develop new genetic tests, new genetic family linkages, new genetic "markers" for given diseases. And many went on to look for - and begin to find - the genes themselves."
March of Dimes-Pioneer in Genetics Still on the Frontier by Albert Rosenfeld tells the story of March of Dimes long history of investment and influence in the field of genetics, even touching on the accomplishment of mapping the human genome.
