Theophilus Shickel Painter (August 22, 1889 – October 5, 1969) was an American zoologist best known for his work on the structure and function of chromosomes, especially the sex-determination genes X and Y in humans.[1][2] He was the first to discover that human sex was determined by an X/Y heteromorphic chromosomal pair mechanism.[3][4][5] He also carried out work in identifying genes in fruit flies (Drosophila).[6] His work exploited the giant polytene chromosomes in the salivary glands of Drosophila and other Dipteran larvae.[7] Painter was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1938 and the American Philosophical Society in 1939.[8][9]
