1 day ago · Since Francis Crick and James D. Watson’s discovery of DNA in 1953, researchers, policymakers, and the general public have sought to understand the ways in which genetics shapes human lives. A milestone in these efforts was the completion of the Human Genome Project’s (HGP) sequencing of Homo sapiens’ nearly three million base pairs in 2003.
1 day ago · In 1962, four years after Franklin’s death, James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the famous double helix. Wilkins, a colleague of Franklin, gave Watson and Crick several images that she produced before she published them. In his book years later, Watson actively downplayed Franklin’s role.
5 days ago · Dr. Crick coined the term "Central Dogma of Molecular Biology," which is that "DNA makes RNA makes proteins," a surprisingly simple concept with huge scientific significance. After winning the Nobel Prize in 1962 for their work, Crick moved on to study RNA.

18 hours ago · Rosalind Franklin was a British scientist whose work with X-ray crystallography, along with James Watson and Francis Crick, helped in the understanding of DNA as well as RNA or ribonucleic acid. Her work also helped in the study of structures of viruses as well as natural materials like coal and graphite.
1 day ago · In this study, a team led by researchers across University College London, University of Cambridge, the Francis Crick Institute, and the ASAP Network performed targeted sequencing using the Iso-Seq method to characterize the transcripts of the SNCA gene, which encodes for the key aSyn protein.
