In 1983, Barbara McClintock was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of transposable elements. This discovery was rooted in meticulous work on maize mutants that she had carried out 40 years earlier. Over this time frame, our perception of transposable elements has undergone important paradigm shifts, with profound implications for our understanding of genome function and evolution. In commemoration of this milestone, I revisit the legacy of this iconic scientist through the kaleidoscopic history of genetics and reflect on her achievements and the hurdles she faced in her career. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Barbara McClintock’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of transposable elements, Cédric Feschotte reflects on McClintock’s life and legacy and how her work has shaped and defined the field of genetics.
