Friedrich Miescher
He discovered nucleic acid (DNA). He was the first researcher to isolate and identify nucleic acid. Meicher isolated various phosphate-rich chemicals, which he called nucleon. -
Gregor Mendel
He figured out the science of how we inherit character traits from our families. -
John Sulston
Awarded for work done in understanding the development of cells and dividing of cells in C. Elegans. -
Frederick Sanger
He is known for the sequence of insulin by amino acids. -
Frederick Griffith
He did one expieriment he thought would help others point out that DNA is a molecule of inheritance. -
Erwin Chargaff
Noticed that there was a pattern that occured in the four bases which are: adenine, guanine, cytosine. -
Oswald Theodore Avery
He discovered that DNA is the material of which genes and chromosomes are mad. -
Maurice Wilkins
He discovered the structures of DNA- make first accurate model of DNA. -
Hersey and Chase
At the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory showed that the DNA, not the protein, of the phage virus* contains the phage genes. How they made the experiment successful was that they put it in a blender to see if viral infections were affected by the movement. -
Watson and Crick
They used Rosalinds x-ray diffraction and helped propose the double helix. -
Rosalind Franklin
Knowm for her work on X-ray diffraction images of DNA. -
Thomas Morgan
He proved that genes or genetic material is carried on chromosomes by his experiments with fruit flies.
