The mapping of 50,000 mysterious "knots" in the human genome may someday lead to the development of new cancer drugs, researchers say.

In the end, Franklin left her DNA work behind and went on to make other important discoveries in virus research, before dying of cancer at the age of 37.

Rosalind Franklin's work was vital to the discovery of the structure of DNA, but her role went largely unrecognized at the time. Universal History Archive / Universal Images Group via Getty Images ...
