Photograph 49 sheds new light on Franklin's famous DNA image

Original: Photograph 49 is the key to understanding Rosalind Franklin’s DNA Photograph 51

A new historical article argues that Photograph 49, an earlier X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken in Rosalind Franklin's lab, is essential to correctly interpreting the celebrated Photograph 51. The claim is drawing attention among science historians and readers interested in how the structure of DNA was actually discovered and how credit for the interpretation should be understood.

Why now: Fresh scholarship is reframing the well-known story of Photograph 51 and Rosalind Franklin's role in the discovery of DNA's structure.
