Rosalind Franklin's X-ray images allowed James Watson and Francis Crick to decipher DNA's double-helix shape, before the pair told a Cambridge pub: 'We have discovered the secret of life'.

Francis Crick, known for his discovery with James Watson of the double helix but described as a biologist colleague as "the absolute master in a way that nobody else in that generation was," died ...

Much of the controversy comes from a central idea: that James Watson and Francis Crick — the first to figure out DNA’s shape — stole data from another scientist named Rosalind Franklin.

Francis Crick talking about his collaboration with James Watson Recorded in 1962 (Real 56k, 2'13") Francis Crick on how long it took to work out the molecular structure of DNA Recorded in 1962 ...

"This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest" In April 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick wrote these words as part of the opening paragraph of a Letter to ...

Nobel laureate Francis Crick, who along with James Watson uncovered the "double helix" spiral structure of DNA, died Wednesday at age 88. In 1953, the pair announced they had determined the ...

Two of them, James Watson and Francis Crick, became household names after their discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. Broomhead's contributions to modern science, on the other hand, have ...

The Nobel Prize gold medal awarded to the US scientist James Watson for discovering the structure of DNA has sold at auction for $4.8m (£3m). The 1962 prize was awarded to Watson, Maurice Wilkins and ...

Odile Crick, the British-born artist best-known for her elegant sketch of the structure of DNA, has died at age 86. Crick died July 5 at her home in La Jolla, Calif., where she had moved with her ...

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.
