«La doble hélice» is James D. Watson's personal account of the discovery of the structure of DNA, in paperback (Alianza Editorial, 206 pages).
James D. Watson reconstructs in the first person the scientific race that, together with Francis Crick, led in 1953 to the deciphering of the structure of DNA. The account combines an explanation of molecular genetics with the tensions, rivalries and encounters among the researchers who took part in one of the most celebrated milestones of twentieth-century biology.
Work originally published as The Double Helix. This Spanish edition is part of the Science and technology collection of El libro de bolsillo from Alianza Editorial.
For readers interested in the history of science, molecular biology and the human side of scientific research.
James Dewey Watson was an American molecular biologist, geneticist, and zoologist. In 1953, he and Francis Crick co-authored an academic paper in Nature proposing the double helix structure of the DNA molecule, building on research by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling. In 1962, Watson, Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material".
