Franklin's paper on DNA X-ray data was published in Nature with Watson & Crick.
On April 25, 1953, Nature published a landmark issue featuring three papers on the molecular structure of DNA. Among them was the Franklin and Gosling paper, presenting X-ray diffraction data that supported the double-helix model, alongside James Watson and Francis Crick’s theoretical model of DNA structure. This publication cemented the essential role Franklin's meticulous work played in affirming the helical structure of DNA, significantly aiding in the birth of molecular biology as a field.
