This 'birthday' paper outlines very briefly the history of the discovery of the DNA double helix, the way it was received and how it was confirmed. The paper also discusses why, at that time, we foresaw so little of the rapid progress produced by the techniques of recombinant DNA. The key feature of the nucleic acids--discovered by Jim Watson--is their ability to form specific base pairs.
这篇“生日”论文简要概述了DNA双螺旋结构的发现历程、它被接受的方式以及如何得到证实。论文还讨论了为什么在当时，我们对重组DNA技术所带来的快速进展预见得如此之少。核酸的关键特性——由吉姆·沃森发现——是它们形成特定碱基对的能力。
