Philip Palmer Green is a theoretical and computational biologist noted for developing important algorithms and procedures used in gene mapping and DNA sequencing. He earned his doctorate from Berkeley in mathematics in 1976 with a dissertation on C*-algebra under the direction of Marc Rieffel, but transitioned from pure mathematics into applied work in biology and bioinformatics. Green has obtained numerous important results, including in developing Phred, a widely used DNA trace analyzer,Koboldt, D. C. and Miller, R. D. (2011) Identification of Polymorphic Markers for Genetic Mapping, chapter 2 in "Genomics: Essential Methods", John Wiley and Sons.Highsmith, W. E. (2006) Electrophoretic Methods for Mutation Detection and DNA Sequencing, chapter 9 in "Molecular Diagnostics for the Clinical Laboratorian", Humana Press in mapping techniques,Lander, E.S. and Green, P. (1987) Construction of multilocus genetic-linkage maps in humans. PNAS 84(8), 2363–2367. and in genetic analysis. Green was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2001 and won the Gairdner Award in 2002.
