James Watson and Francis Crick are credited with discovering the double helix structure of DNA in 1953. They used X-ray diffraction data produced by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, along with their own model building and theoretical work, to propose the now-iconic structure of DNA. Their breakthrough came from careful analysis, collaboration, and a bit of creative insight.
