Everyone is right about Franklin, Watson, & Crick discovering the double helix structure of DNA, but the original detection & isolation of the molecule was done in 1868 by Friedrich Miescher.

Watson and Crick discovered the secondary structure of DNA on the basis of the x-ray analysis of Rosalin Franklin

Rosalyn Franklin discovered DNA and Watson and Crick stole her research and built the model first. Watson and Crick were then given the credit but history now tells us otherwise.

The STRUCTURE of DNA was discovered by Watson, Crick, and Franklin. Franklin died between when W&C published their paper (special thanks to Franklin) and when the Nobel Prizes were announced, so she did not receive a Nobel Prize for her work. Nobel Prizes are not awarded posthumously, or at least they weren't at the time.

nucleic acid 3D structure was discovered in 1950s by watson and crick, and they took a noble prize for it.
