1953: Scientists describe 'secret of life'
Two Cambridge University scientists have published their answer to one of the most fundamental questions of biology - how do living things reproduce themselves?
In an article published today in Nature magazine, James D Watson and Francis Crick describe the structure of a chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
DNA is the material that makes up genes which pass hereditary characteristics from one parent to another.
In short, it consists of a double helix of two strands coiled around each other. The strands are made up of complementary elements that fit together and when uncoiled can produce two copies of the original.
In Context
James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work in 1962.
The discovery opened up some powerful and controversial technologies available today, including genetic engineering, stem cell research and DNA fingerprinting.
