a US scientist who, together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA, the substance that carries genetic information in the cells of plants, animals and humans. They won a Nobel Prize for their work (1928- )
{i} James Dewey Watson (born 1928) U.S. geneticist, winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology for his discovery of the double helical structure of DNA (together with Francis Crick)
James D Watson
born April 6, 1928, Chicago, Ill., U.S. U.S. geneticist and biophysicist. He earned his Ph.D. at Indiana University in 1950. Using X-ray diffraction techniques, he began work in Britain with Francis Crick on the problem of DNA structure. In 1952 he determined the structure of the protein coat surrounding the tobacco mosaic virus. In early 1953 he determined that the essential DNA components, four organic bases, must be linked in definite pairs, a discovery that enabled Watson and Crick to formulate a double-helix molecular model for DNA. In 1962 the two scientists and Maurice Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize. Watson's The Double Helix (1968), a best-selling personal account of the DNA discovery, aroused controversy. He taught at Harvard University (1955-76) and served as director of the Carnegie Institute's laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor (1968-94). See also Rosalind Franklin
