On 28 February 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson, along with Maurice
Wilkins, made a groundbreaking discovery at the Cavendish Laboratory at
the University of Cambridge. They unraveled the structure of DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid), which is the hereditary material in humans and
almost all other organisms. This discovery laid the foundation for
understanding the genetic code and the mechanisms of inheritance,
marking a pivotal moment in the history of molecular biology.
