People Doing Science: The Double Helix (The discovery of DNA's Double Helix) The Double Helix tells the story of the discovery of DNA's structure as seen through the eyes of the author, James D. Watson. The book starts in the fall of 1951 with Watson, an American postdoctoral fellow, arrivi...

In The Double Helix, a reader can find James D. Watson's first-hand accounts of the competitive race in science that led to the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule. The DNA research Watson and his colleagues took part in demanded knowledge in many areas of expertise, but the most critic...

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, DNA for short, is a molecule that has been one of the biggest mysteries of modern science. What is its structure? Does it contain the genetic code and if it does how is it used? These are some of the questions that puzzled scientist in the early fifties. Many scientists tried ...
