The structure of DNA was solved on February 28, 1953 by James D. Watson and Francis H. Crick, who recognized at once the potential of DNA's double helical structure for storing genetic information — the blueprint of life. For 60 years, this exciting discovery has inspired scientists to decipher the molecule's manifold secrets and resulted in a steady stream of innovative advances in genetics and genomics.

Honoring our editorial mission, The Scientist will take a bold look at what the future holds for DNA research, brining together senior investigators and key leaders in the field of genetics and genomics in this 3-part webinar series.
