Claim
Soller was born in Manhattan, New York City, in 1931.
Correction

An official ISAG biography says Morris Soller was born in Chicago, Illinois, not Manhattan, New York City.

Full reasoning

The article gives Soller's birthplace as Manhattan, New York City. But an official biographical note published by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) states: "Morris Soller was born in 1931 in Chicago, Illinois." That directly contradicts the Manhattan claim.

Because the source is a formal professional biography about Soller and identifies the same birth year and career milestones, it is strong evidence that the article's birthplace is incorrect.

Claim
He would later return to his birth country for further postdoctoral education at Indiana University and Roosevelt University in biochemistry.
Correction

An official biography says Soller did biochemistry training at Indiana University and Northwestern University; Roosevelt University is described as a place where he taught, not where he did postdoctoral biochemistry training.

Full reasoning

The sentence says Soller pursued further biochemistry training at Indiana University and Roosevelt University. However, an official ISAG biography gives a different account: it says he "returned to the USA for additional training in biochemistry at Indiana University, continuing at Northwestern University" and adds that "During this time he also taught at Roosevelt University."

So Roosevelt University was a teaching appointment, while the biochemistry training continued at Northwestern University. That makes the article's identification of Roosevelt University as one of the institutions where he received postdoctoral biochemistry training incorrect.

Claim
Between 1966 and 1972 Soller was a lecturer at Roosevelt University in the USA.
Correction

Roosevelt University's faculty directory lists Soller as an associate professor and then professor in Biology, with years 1967–74, not as a lecturer from 1966 to 1972.

Full reasoning

This sentence misstates both Soller's rank and years at Roosevelt University.

Roosevelt University's own faculty directory lists: "Soller, Morris Arts & Sciences Biology Associate Professor 1967 Professor 1970 1967-74." In other words, Roosevelt records do not describe him as a lecturer there; they list him as an associate professor, later professor, with service years 1967–74.

An independent ISAG biography is consistent with Roosevelt being a teaching appointment during his U.S. period, stating that he returned to the USA in 1966 and that "During this time he also taught at Roosevelt University." Together, these sources contradict the article's claim that he was a lecturer there between 1966 and 1972.
