The history of DNA is a saga full of brilliant scientific discoveries, incredible accidents, gross errors. It begins with the discovery of Nuclein in the late 1860s and ends with the publication of James Watson’s book “Double Spiral” in 1968. Over these 100 years, the Nobel Prize, antibiotics, X -ray crystallography, a radar and an atomic bomb have appeared, not to mention the fact that two destructive world wars have passed, and each of these events has influenced the opening of DNA. James Watson and Francis Scream guessed the riddle of a double spiral, but Gareth Williams shows that their contribution was the last piece of a giant puzzle, which was collected for several decades by many scientists forgotten by history.

The book "Double spiral. Forgotten heroes of the DNA battles ”about one of the greatest triumphs of modern science and people who have understood the composition and structure of this mysterious molecule.
