El descubrimiento del ADN

The video explores the race to uncover the structure of DNA, highlighting the rivalry between two teams: Crick and Watson from Cambridge, and Wilkins and Franklin from King's College. Franklin's X-ray images were crucial, yet her collaboration with Wilkins faltered. Meanwhile, Crick and Watson pursued model-building, eventually revealing the double helix structure in 1953. Despite Franklin's significant contributions, she was not formally recognized in her lifetime. The video underscores the importance of collaboration and the impact of these scientists on understanding genetic material.
