...become two identical molecules. In their paper appears one of the most famous sentences of science: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." That copying mechanism is the basis of modern molecular genetics. In the model of Mendel the gene was...

...support. Seemingly, we have only the one sentence: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific base pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." The answer to this puzzle lies in the rhetorical function of the adverb "immediately," really an instruction...

...which rests mainly though not entirely on published experimental data and stereochemical arguments. It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. Full details of the structure, including the conditions assumed in building it, together with a set...

...DNA in 1953 with the help of Rosalind Franklin's diffraction studies, they remarked in their paper 'It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material'. Their idea, namely the semi-conservative method, was, however, only one of three possible mechanisms...

...However, they had already concluded their initial publication with the far-reaching statement that 'it has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material'. It became clear in the years that followed that this discovery had sparked a revolution in our understanding...

...March, Watson sent Delbriick a draft of the Nature paper. It already contained the famous observation, "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." Jim told Max that Wilkins and Franklin would do "all comparisons of the experimental data with [the...

...helix structure of DNA with what has been called the coyest sentence in biological science publishing. It has not "escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." 37. Fauci, A. 1989. Writing for my sister Denise. The AAAS Observer, Sept. 1. 38. Duesberg, PH 1996....

...describing the structure of DNA also VV provided a glimpse into how DNA might be copied. They concluded, "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." DNA REPLICATION IS SEMICONSERVATIVE The bacterial chromosome replicates just prior to the process of...

...understated in Watson and Crick's conclusion to their initial announcement of the structure of DNA: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material" (Watson and Crick 1953, p. 737). This prediction from their model has proven enormously important and...

...Watson and Crick's classic paper from 1953 on the structure of DNA, containing the now famous line 'It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material', 1 is pure preformationism. To take another example: all modern evolutionary biologists are conscious...
