The classical Mendelian genetics forged the development of biomedical sciences in the twentieth century. However, the classical works that allowed the sequencing of human genoma, have not received the recognition that they deserve. The author does a historical revision of works, considered classic in genetics and its specialties such as cytogenetics, biochemical genetics, immunogenetics and molecular genetics, published between 1990 and 1999. Authors that received the Nobel Prize are identified and the works are sorted in chronological order. Most founders of genetics specialties, have not received the Nobel Prize. Only 26 of 80 classical works have been awarded with such distinction. Almost all founders of Mendelian genetics and human cytogenetics, have been unrewarded. The author proposes to create the "Johan Gregory Mendel Prize" for geneticists.
经典孟德尔遗传学推动了20世纪生物医学科学的发展。然而，那些促成人类基因组测序的经典著作，却未得到应有的认可。作者对1990年至1999年间发表的遗传学及其诸如细胞遗传学、生化遗传学、免疫遗传学和分子遗传学等专业领域的经典著作进行了历史回顾。确定了获得诺贝尔奖的作者，并按时间顺序对著作进行了排序。遗传学专业的大多数创始人都未获得诺贝尔奖。80部经典著作中只有26部获得了这一殊荣。几乎所有孟德尔遗传学和人类细胞遗传学的创始人都未获奖。作者提议为遗传学家设立“约翰·格雷戈里·孟德尔奖”。
