The 23 pages that link to James Watson, each with the reason it gives.

• DNARelated: His model with Crick explained DNA’s structure and complementary base pairing.

• Francis CrickRelated: Their collaboration produced the 1953 double-helix model.

• Rosalind FranklinRelated: Watson saw Franklin’s diffraction evidence before the model was published.

• Human Genome ProjectRelated: Watson became the first head of the project's U.S. office at the National Institutes of Health.

• Linus PaulingCompared with: Watson and Crick’s successful DNA model contrasted with Pauling’s incorrect triple-helix proposal.

• Watson–Crick base pairingRelated: His collaboration with Crick established the model that gave canonical pairing its name.

• Molecular geneticsRelated: The double-helix model connected DNA structure to replication and heredity.

• Maurice WilkinsRelated: Wilkins shared DNA evidence with Watson and Crick during their model-building effort.

• Kennel ClubRelated: Watson helped shape the standards and practices surrounding pedigree dogs.

• Cold Spring Harbor LaboratoryRelated: His directorship helped make the laboratory a leading center for molecular biology.

• Matthew MeselsonRelated: The double helix suggested a copying mechanism whose predictions Meselson and Stahl tested.

• Max DelbrückRelated: Watson trained in the phage group Delbrück helped build before pursuing DNA structure.

• Photo 51Related: Watson saw Photo 51, which helped him recognize DNA’s helical form.

• DNA structureRelated: Watson helped assemble the structural model from experimental evidence and molecular components.

• Francis CollinsRelated: Watson’s departure from the project preceded Collins’s appointment as its director.

• Walter GilbertRelated: Watson recruited Gilbert to Harvard, where their work helped establish molecular biology.

• Double helixRelated: He helped construct the influential double-helical model with Francis Crick.

• History of geneticsRelated: His model helped redirect genetics toward molecular mechanisms.

• Robert W. HolleyRelated: The DNA structure discovery helped launch the molecular biology context in which Holley studied RNA.

• Sidney AltmanRelated: Watson’s early account of molecular biology emphasized DNA and proteins, the backdrop against which catalytic RNA stood out.

• Lawrence BraggRelated: Bragg led the laboratory where Watson and Francis Crick developed their DNA model.

• Nucleic acid structureRelated: Watson helped turn structural evidence into a specific molecular model.

• Marshall Warren NirenbergCompared with: Watson’s DNA-structure work framed the molecular setting for the code-breaking race Nirenberg entered.
