-
In the late 1440's, she discovered that some genes could be mobile, or the concept of chromosome breakage, which led to the discovery of laws that change position in a chromosome.
-
Friedrich Miescher was responsible for the discovery of Nucleic Acid. In 1869, he was able to isolate nuclein and also was able to identify DNA as a distinct molecule.
-
He was a British bacteriologist that had a famous experiment in 1928. This showed that bacteria can distinctly change their function and form through transformation.
-
These people were responsible for finding out that DNA is a substance that causes bacterial transformation.
-
He became interested in DNA after identifying the molecule as the basis of heredity. In 1950, he discovered that the amounts of adenine and thymine were equal and the amounts of cytosine and guanine were the same. These were known as the first of Chargaff's Rules.
-
They both used X-ray diffraction to find images of DNA. It was called photo 51 and was used by Watson and Crick to eventually find that DNA is made of a double helix.
-
They did one of the most famous experiments in molecular biology. The "Bender", proved that DNA carried genetic information.
-
James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA or the double helix. Also, they found out about the nitrogen bases, adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine.
-
Matthew Meselson and Franklin Stahl discovered how to replicate DNA.
-
In the 1950's, he became known as the founder of molecular biology due to his discovery of the spiral structure of proteins. This contributed to Watson and Crick's breakthrough with the double helix.
-
He discovered the base sequences for nucleic acids.
-
He worked along side Frederick Sanger to identify the base sequences for nucleic acids.
-
He discovered the polymerase chain reaction, or the process of replicating specific fragments of DNA.
-
In the early 2000's, he discovered the first human genome using a synthetic chromosome
