This is a timeline of FIXME.

The following are some interesting questions that can be answered by reading this timeline:

Time period	Development summary	More details

Year	Kingdom	Event type	Details	Location/researcher affiliation
1900			Zea mays: Correns confirms Mendel’s findings.
1902			Mus musculus: Castle initiates genetic studies.
1909			Drosophila melanogaster: Morgan chooses organism.
1913			Z. mays: Emerson and East publish important quantitative genetics paper.
1915			D. melanogaster: First book on Mendelian genetics is published from the Morgan Group
1927			Neurospora crassa: Shear and Dodge discover sexual cycle and describe mating types
1930			Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: Moewus develops genetic system.
1935			Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Winge describes haplo- and diplophase of life cycle.
1937			Paramecium spp.: Sonneborn and Jennings domesticate crosses and define mating types.
1939			T phages: Ellis and Delbrück describe replication cycle, ‘one-step growth.
1941			N. crassa: Beadle and Tatum isolate first biochemical mutants.
1943			Arabidopsis thaliana: Laibach initiates program in genetics and development.
1943			S.cerevisiae: Lindegren begins genetics with heterothallic strains
1944			T phages: Delbrück initiates Phage Group
1946			Escherichia coli: Lederberg and Tatum discover gene exchange
1946			S. cerevisiae: Ephrussi discovers cytoplasmic petite colonie variant
1949			S. cerevisiae: Roman begins major US genetic studies

The initial version of the timeline was written by FIXME.
