if you mean the double helix in DNA.....

In 1953, based on X-ray diffraction images[123] taken by Rosalind Franklin and the information that the bases were paired, James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested[123] what is now accepted as the first accurate model of DNA structure in the journal Nature.[5] Experimental evidence for Watson and Crick's model were published in a series of five articles in the same issue of Nature.[124] Of these, Franklin and Raymond Gosling's paper was the first publication of X-ray diffraction data that supported the Watson and Crick model,[125][126] this issue also contained an article on DNA structure by Maurice Wilkins and his colleagues.[127] In 1962, after Franklin's death, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[128] However, debate continues on who should receive credit for the discovery, as the Watson and Crick article in Nature was based on Franklin's data without either acknowledgment or her knowledge.[129]
