Question

anonymous · Answer

Identified? Do you mean the x-Ray diffraction by Rosalind Franklin or the jerks who stole her information Watson and crick? Or are you looking for some one who theorized it first?

@lavanawayj Watson and Crick didn't steal it. It was given to them by Wilkins. Franklin has only herself to blame for being careless with her results. As for who identified DNA, Miescher was the first to isolate it.

DNA was first identified and isolated by Friedrich Miescher and the double helix structure of DNA was first discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, using experimental data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.
