Unravelling the Double Helix : The Story of DNA

Résumé

Unravelling the Double Helix covers the most colourful period in the history of DNA, from the discovery of 'nuclein' in the late 1860s to the publication of James Watson's The Double Helix in 1968. These hundred years included the establishment of the Nobel Prize, the atom bomb and two devastating world wars - events which are strung along the thread of DNA like beads on a necklace. ©Electre 2025
