James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with being the first to discover the di-basic double helix structure of (B form) DNA (published in Nature in 1953) at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University. Important in their discovery were unpublished X-ray diffraction images of DNA created by Rosalind Franklin at Kings College, London shown to them by her colleague Maurice Wilkins.
They won the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1962 jointly with Maurice Wilkins (sadly, Rosalind Franklin had died of cancer in 1958 and thus was not eligible for the prize). James Watson is still working and Francis Crick died in 2004.
James Watson and Francis Crick, along with other researchers such as Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, are credited with discovering the double helix structure of DNA in 1953. Watson and Crick's model was based on X-ray crystallography data from Franklin and Wilkins.
Watson was American and Crick was British. Together, they discovered the double helix structure of DNA.
Watson passed away in 2021, and Crick passed away in 2004. They are not currently active.
James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with creating the first 3D model of DNA in 1953, based on X-ray crystallography data obtained by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson and Crick's double helix model revolutionized our understanding of DNA's structure and function.
At the present time (January 2008) James Watson is still alive but Francis Crick died in 2004. For a biography of Crick see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Crick James Watson will be turning 82 this year (2010) but Francis crick died in 2004
