Rosalind Franklin did not miss the DNA helix, historians say
Original: How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't
Rosalind Franklin, long said to have failed to grasp the significance of her famous Photo 51 of DNA, actually recognized the double-helix structure it revealed. A new report argues the familiar claim that she overlooked the helix in her iconic X-ray image is a myth, revisiting her role in the discovery of DNA's structure and renewing debate over how her contribution has been remembered.
Why now: New reporting challenges the long-standing story that Franklin failed to recognize the DNA double helix in her own data.
