Discovery of DNA

  • Friedrich Meischer

    Friedrich Meischer
    Dicoverd nucleoin. He belived that protein was the molecule responsible for heridity.
  • Muller

    Discovered the x-rays can induce mutations.
  • Erwin Chargaff

    Chargaff created the nucleotide base pairs. Adenine is paired with thymine and guanine is paired with cytosine. He measured the levels of each acid in different Organisms and found that A was very close to T and G was very close to C
  • Watson and crick

    Watson and crick
    Chargaff created the nucleotide base pairs. Adenine is paired with thymine and guanine is paired with cytosine. He measured the levels of each acid in different Organisms and found that A was very close to T and G was very close to C
  • Linus Pauling

    Pauling thought that DNA was made up of 3 strands. Many scientists analized this and found he was wrong. So this became a race to find the makeup. Chargaff created the nucleotide base pairs. Adenine is paired with thymine and guanine is paired with cytosine. He measured the levels of each acid in different Organisms and found that A was very close to T and G was very close to C
  • Seymor Benzer

    he discovered that DNA could cross over
  • Sydney Brenner

    Discovered RNA. This is a messenger molecule. DNA needs to be transported to ribosomes but it is too big to get in so it sends RNA to the ribosomes.
  • Frederick Sanger

    Frederick Sanger
    He discovered DNA sequencing. He discovered that you can make a protein many different ways.
  • Thomas Cech

    He discoverd that RNA can self replicate itself.
  • Steve Fodor

    Steve Fodor
    Developed the GeneClip. It allow scientists to basically grow dDNA to help solve issues like cancer.
