DNA Double Helix Discovery | Vibepedia

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick unveiled the double helix structure of DNA, building on X-ray diffraction images from Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This elegant model explained base pairing—A with T, C with G—and how genetic information replicates faithfully. The breakthrough, published in Nature, earned the 1962 Nobel Prize and birthed modern molecular biology, influencing everything from ChatGPT's training data to the Human Genome Project.
