Nicknamed "Rosy" in a derogatory manner. She did not know the other men were using her research upon which to base the DNA article that appeared in the journal Nature. Specifically, Watson and Crick used her photographs of crystals and interpretation of the patterns.

I believe that she determined the nature of the crystalline structure of DNA (that it was a double helix). Watson and Crick built a scale model of a small stretch of DNA and perceived how it could contain a code and thus the blueprint for an entire creature. Her research was an essential stepping stone while theirs was a leap (other crystallographers might have supplied the same input but not the leap?).

"Watson also implies that Franklin's scientifical thinking was completely wrong. It's quotes like this one that lead people to believe that "Rosy," as Watson, Crick, and Wilkins referred to her from a distance, was sexually discriminated against."
