Crick and Watson Unveil DNA Double Helix Model
Francis Crick and James Watson published a groundbreaking paper in the journal Nature, detailing the helical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This paper proposed a double helix model of DNA, suggesting a method for genetic information storage and replication. The research built upon the foundational work of other scientists including Rosalind Franklin and Erwin Chargaff, ultimately paving the way for modern genetics. The model's elegant structure illustrated how nucleotides pair specifically, leading to advancements in molecular biology and genetics.
