James Watson, who has died aged 97, was the 25-year-old American biologist who in 1953, with Francis Crick, revealed the double helix structure of DNA, the chemical of which genes are made; for this ...
For James Watson, DNA was everything — not just his life's work, but the secret of life itself. Over his long and storied career, Watson arguably did more than any other scientist to transform a ...
NEW YORK — 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. Now, two ...
Odile Crick, 86, an artist who made the first widely published sketch of the double-helix structure of DNA, died July 5 at her home in La Jolla, Calif. She had cancer. Her husband, Francis H.C. Crick, ...
In 1953, when he was not yet 25 years old, Watson worked with English researcher Francis Crick to piece together clues from various experiments — including work done by X-ray crystallographer Rosalind ...
