Three events that led to understanding the structure of DNA are: Chargaff's Rules, Franklin's Discovery, and Watson and Crick's Model.
Rosalind Franklin was the first to actually SEE DNA on a X-ray image she did. Look her up.
Rosalind Franklin provided evidence of the helical structure.Watson,Crick and Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962.Sadly Rosalind Franklin had died from cancer in 1958,preventing her from also sharing the Nobel Prize as it cannot be awarded posthumously.
DNA was discovered in the 1860's by Johann Friedrich Miescher. Albrecht Kossel was the first to begin to sort out its structure. When we talk about the 'discovery' of DNA we are often really thinking about the work which established its detailed structure, the famous 'double helix'. This was the culmination of the work of many people, but the Nobel prize went to Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. Many people also point out the contribution of Rosalind Franklin, who died before the Nobel award was made.
James Watson and Francis Crick are usually credited with the big breakthrough, though their work was built on that of others, including Maurice Wilkins and his team. This was recognised when Wilkins shared the Nobel prize with them. Many people credit Rosalind Franklin with an important part of the work too, but she died before the prize was awarded.
Rosalind Franklin, her improved skills in X-ray crystallography provided a clear x-ray diffraction pattern which suggested that the DNA was helical in shape and nature. This image is what helped Watson and Crick complete their renowned double-helix structure.
The helical nature was discovered by Rosalind Franklin and Watson and Crick first built the model of it.

The answer (if you had formulated your question properly - where is the list of researchers you allude to?) would be Rosalind Franklin.
DNA double helix discovered by Francis Crick, James Watson, Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
James D Watson and Frances Crick used data from X-ray crystallography obtained formally by Rosalind Franklin, to work out the double-spiral structure of a DNA molecule. They achieved this in 1953 and were awarded, along with Maurice Wilkins awarded a Nobel Prize in 1962.

"Rosie" was first and later "Dark Lady"
She was first educated at St' Paul's Girl School then she went to Cambridge University.
James D. Watson and Francis Crick were prominent in the discovery on DNA. (Deoxyribonucleic acid) Though, some believe that Rosalind Franklin discovered the strictures of DNA before Watson and Crick. These people were the first to write about DNA, it's properties, and it's structural traits.
Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA has the shape of a double helix by using x-ray technology. However, two scientists got the credit for discovering the double helix shape of DNA, James Watson and Francis Crick. Watson and Crick get the credit for discovering the double helix shape because Rosalind Franklin died in 1958, and the first Nobel prize for discovery wasn't awarded until 1962.
