British chemist Rosalind Franklin contributed to the discovery of the structure of DNA, one of the most important milestones in modern science.

The instrumental piece of information that led to the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA was recognised by James Watson, when he was shown an X-ray image of DNA taken by Rosalind Franklin.

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