  1. Jan 3, 2018 · Between 1953 and 1957, before the Meselson-Stahl experiment verified semi-conservative replication of DNA, scientists debated how DNA replicated. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed that DNA was composed of two helical strands that wound together in a coil.

  2. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these observations, including independent invention of DNA and DNA replication proteins, ancient gene transfer and gene loss, and/or nonorthologous replacement.

  4. Nov 10, 2001 · In 1957, two young scientists, Matthew Meselson and Frank Stahl, produced a landmark experiment confirming that DNA replicates as predicted by the double helix structure Watson and Crick had recently proposed.

  5. Jul 23, 2017 · Based on personal accounts, letter correspondence, and preserved research documents, Replication of DNA serves as a detailed account of the initial issues surrounding DNA replication and the Meselson-Stahl experiment from a scientist's perspective.

  6. Conceptually, semiconservative replication made sense in light of the double helix structural model of DNA, in particular its complementary nature and the fact that adenine always pairs with...

  8. Meselson, a graduate student, and Stahl, a postdoctoral researcher, both at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena), gave validity to a model that many scientists saw as speculation: how two intertwined and tangled strands of a helix could physically code for the material of inheritance.
