DNA Helix Turns 40 For

It is probably impossible to overestimate how much the 1953 report in Nature of the physical structure of DNA by Francis H. C. Crick and James D. Watson, and their interpretation of its structure in terms of its replicative function, means to modern biological science. Decoding the functional structure of DNA provided the cornerstone of the edifice that we call molecular biology, which has give...
