Spliced segments at the 5' terminus of adenovirus 2 late mRNA.Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (USA), 74, 3171-3175, 1977.Discovery of introns simultaneously with Roberts, Chow, Broker (No. 11043). Sharp's electron microscopist, Berget, visualized the introns in the electron microscope. James D. Watson took note of the profound significance of the discovery and invited both groups to present their data at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium that year. This helped solidify the discovery by both groups as "simultaneous." For this discovery Sharp shared the Nobel Prize with Roberts in 1993. Digital facsimile from PubMedCentral at this link.
