Dr. DNA Dan - A Genetics & Genomics Podcast - What We Now Know About the Structure of DNA

Transcript

In previous episodes we learned about the discovery of DNA and how its structure was determined. Today we understand much more detail about the structure of DNA. It turns out that Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin and the many others involved gave essentially the correct answer about the DNA molecule and how it is structured.

DNA has two such intertwining backbones that spiral around each other. These are made up of form of sugar called deoxyribose and phosphate groups. We are all accusto
