Ray Wu

Ray Jui Wu (, 14 August 1928 – 10 February 2008) was a Chinese-born American geneticist and served as Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Molecular Genetics and Biology at Cornell University.

In 1970, Wu created the first approach for DNA sequencing, earlier than the Frederick Sanger's method in 1975 and Walter Gilbert's chemical procedure in 1977. Wu's contributions on DNA sequencing are fundamental to the general sequencing methods today. Provided by Wikipedia
