Watson and Crick's postulation in 1953, exactly 50 years ago, of a double helical structure for DNA, heralded a revolution in our understanding of biology at the molecular level. The fact that it ...

Crick and Watson, along the backs -- Francis in the Cavendish -- Maurice Wilkins: World wide photos -- The microbial genetics meeting, Copenhagen, March 1951 -- Linus Pauling: Information office, ...

Fifty years ago, Watson, then a brash young man of 25, and fellow scientist Francis Crick announced their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA -- hailed as one of the greatest scientific ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Watson and Crick built an incorrect triple-helix model of DNA in 1951, after Watson saw a lecture by Franklin where she showed crystallographic X-ray images she had taken of DNA.

The story of Watson, Crick and the double helix that is DNA is about more than just a seminal leap in science -- it is also a gripping tale with a soap opera feel.

Odile Crick, an artist whose original sketch of the double helix of DNA, the genetic blueprint for life, became a symbol of modern molecular biology, died July 5 at her home in La Jolla (San Diego ...

The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science -- and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit.

Guided by the work of Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953, a finding that gave rise to the modern field of molecular ...

Ziegler’s play is named after one of Franklin’s X-ray images of DNA that led to Watson and Crick building their famous double-helix model.
