	James D. Watson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) is one of the discoverers of the structure of the DNA molecule.
		Watson then went to Europe for postdoctoral research, first heading to the laboratory of biochemist Herman Kalckar in Copenhagen who was interested in nucleic acids and had developed an interest in phage as an experimental system.
		Watson's original title was to have been "Honest Jim", in part to raise the question of the ethics of sneeking behind Franklin's back to gain access to her X-ray diffraction data before they were published.

		Watson, James Dewey, born in 1928, American molecular biologist and cowinner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.
		Watson was also instrumental in establishing the Human Genome Project, the international scientific collaboration that identified the complete genetic blueprint of humans in 2003.
		Watson believed that it would be possible to determine the structure of DNA from the analysis of X-ray diffraction patterns, and that knowing the structure of DNA would be the key to understanding genes.

	James Dewey Watson (1928 - )
		James Watson, one of the most influential researchers in the short history of the field of genetics, was born on April 6, 1928, in Chicago.
		Crick and Watson made the intuitive leap: in 1953, they proposed that the structure of DNA was a winding helix in which pairs of bases (adenine paired with thymine and guanine paired with cytosine) held the two strands together.
		Watson's successful association with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was an unexpected development.

		Watson was only 25 when he and Crick, then 37, published a short description of the double helix in the journal Nature on 25 April 1953.
		Watson and Crick had explained the fundamental basis of inheritance and other scientists used their double-helix model to explain how genetic information was passed from one cell to another and from one generation to the next.
		Watson sees no problem with the idea of changing children's DNA to make them resistant to HIV or even to improve their intellectual performance by boosting the memory circuits of the brain — if ever this becomes possible.

		James Dewey Watson was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois.
		The DNA molecule, Watson and Crick had found, is shaped like a double helix, or "gently twisted ladder." The two chains of the helix unlink "like a zipper," and reproduce their missing halves.
		Throughout the ensuing controversy, Watson insisted that devotion to the truth was as essential in writing for the general public as it is in scientific research.
