Description of Molecular Biology of the Gene
This MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE GENE Book appears in this, it is Seventh edition, on the 60th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953, an occasion celebrated by our cover design. The double-helical structure of DNA, held together by specific pairing between the bases on the two strands, has become one of the iconic images of science. After the end of the century, that image had in turn given way to the double helix.
The field of molecular biology as we understand it today was born out of the discovery of the DNA structure and the agenda for research that structure immediately provided. The paper by Crick-Watson proposing the famous double helix sentence: “It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.
