-
He described the structure of DNA after extracting it from cell nuclei. He never learned the function of DNA but figured out that it was not a protein.
-
While studying a bacteria that causes pneumonia, he discovered that hereditary information passes through two strains of bacteria.
-
They proved that DNA transmits a full complement of hereditary information. They also conducted multiple experiments to determine that the material a bacteriophage injects into bacteria is DNA.
-
She discovered genetic transposition.
-
They discovered that DNA was the transforming principle. Concluded that DNA was hereditary material.
-
He discovered the spiral structure of proteins.
-
He discovered that bases in DNA depend on the species the DNA comes from.
-
Wilkins had gathered some data about nucleic acid structure when Franklin joined in and made the first x-ray diffraction image of DNA. She used the x-ray image to come up with more information on DNA.
-
They built the first accurate model of DNA.
-
He proved that proteins were ordered molecules and that the DNA that creates these proteins should have an ordered sequence.
-
They performed an experiment that concluded that each strand in DNA serves as a “template” for a new complementary strand.
-
He created the first DNA molecule made of parts from different organisms.
-
He invented PCR (polymerase chain reaction).
-
He was the primary creator of the Human Genome Project.
