25th April – DNA Day.
On April 25th we salute James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins, who on this day in 1953, published their first papers on the discovery of DNA and its double helix formation.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can also be referred to as the “building blocks of life”, since this molecule features in all known living organisms and a number of viruses.
There has been controversy over the discovery of DNA since the single female on the list, Rosalind Franklin, was only recognized for her contributions to the scientific discovery after she died in 1958.
Her male colleagues were awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1962 for the discovery of DNA.
