[edit]Reasons to dispute speedy delete: 1) Julius was a full tenured professor at a major research university and a recpient of many RO1 grants from the NIH, and the author of over 50 papers published in the peer reviewed scientific literature.
2) Julius' discoveries about DNA are a cornerstone of our understanding of how to maniupulate DNA in vitro, eg such technology as the Southern blot and microarrays rely on what Julius discovered. In both technologys, people use Julius' discovery that the temperature dependent melting of DNA is proportional to the G,C content; of course we have come a long way since then, but Julius started it. here are two urls that support my statements http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=iga.section.1523 http://www.the-scientist.com/article/display/10072/
Admittedly, this is way outside of my field, so I don't know anything about him.. but asserting importance is enough for it to not be a speedy.
Plus, after even briefly reading up on him, I can concur that he is definitely notable. Perel 02:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
