The Discovery of DNA's Structure Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.

What Crick and Watson discovered was the molecular structure of DNA, as nicely described by Watson with even a little humour thrown in. But not one word about any sort of dream!

The discovery of DNA’s structure provided the foundation for exploring how changes unrelated to DNA sequence—either at specific points on DNA or across broad swaths of the genome—can modify ...

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone.

Find out how the structure of DNA was discovered by Francis Crick and James Watson, and why the discovery revolutionized science and medicine ...

Gaia Vince delves into the story behind the discovery of DNA’s double-helix structure and reveals intriguing new evidence about Rosalind Franklin’s contributions. Show more James Watson and ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA—that molecular blueprint for life—over 70 years ago. Today, scientists are still uncovering new ways to read it.
