DNA.- Watson (James D.) Francis H. C. Crick and others. The six milestone papers on the structure of DNA, in Nature vol.171 and 172, extracts bound together in 1 without original wrappers, modern red cloth, 8vo, 1953.

⁂ The papers comprise:

1. Watson (J.D.) and F.H.C. Crick. Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid;

2. Wilkins (M.H.F.), Stokes (A.R.) and H.R. Wilson. Molecular Structure of Deoxypentose Nucleic Acids;

3. Franklin (R.E.) and R.G. Gosling. Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate,

all three together on pp. 737-41 in Nature, Vol. 171, No. 4356, April 25, 1953.

4. Watson (J.D.) and F.H.C. Crick. Genetical Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid, pp. 964-7 in Nature, Vol. 171, No. 4361, May 30, 1953.

5. Franklin (R.E.) and R.G. Gosling. Evidence for 2-Chain Helix in Crystalline Structure of Sodium Deoxyribonucleate, pp. 156-7 in Nature, Vol. 171, No. 4369, July 25, 1953.

6. Wilkins (M.H.F.), Seeds (W.E.), Stokes (A.R.) and H.R. Wilson. Helical Structure of Crystalline Deoxypentose Nucleic Acid, pp. 759-62 in Nature, Vol. 172, No. 4382, October 24, 1953.

Together these papers, announcing the discovery of DNA, provide the single most important advance in biology since Darwin's theory.
