John Roger Roth (born 14 March 1939)Biological Sciences at the University of California, Davis.
He became well known for his early studies on the structure and regulation of the selection.[9]
As instructors of the summer Advanced Bacterial Genetics course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, John Roth, David Botstein, and Ron Davis taught many scientists how to use transposons and other modern molecular genetic tools for analysis of bacteria, leading to important advances in our understanding of the genetics and physiology of bacteria.[2]
In 1988, he became a member of the
ASM Press published a festschrift in his honor ("The Lure of Bacterial Genetics: A Tribute to John Roth").[2]
