Untangling Rosalind Franklin’s Role in DNA Discovery, 70 Years On Historians have long debated the role that Dr. Franklin played in identifying the double helix.

Franklin’s experiments, in which she successfully used X-ray crystallography to create images of DNA, became the basis for James Watson and Francis Crick’s groundbreaking 1953 discovery of the ...

Rosalind Franklin, a scientist at the University of London, had already documented the helical nature of DNA when Watson and Crick accessed her unpublished data without permission and used it to ...

Two historians argue that while DNA double helix discoverers James Watson and Francis Crick relied on research from Rosalind Franklin, Franklin was more a collaborator than victim.

Franklin W. Stahl, an American molecular biologist whose landmark 1957-58 experiment with colleague Matthew Meselson revealed ...

Two researchers say that Rosalind Franklin knowingly collaborated with James Watson and Francis Crick to discover the molecular structure of DNA.

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix.

Josh Franklin, the great nephew of Rosalind Franklin, a pivotal figure in the discovery of the DNA double helix structure accompanied by his wife Emilie Stanton was also in attendance and stayed ...

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'.
