1953年,沃森和克里克提出的DNA分子结构模型在生物学中可以与达尔文的进化论、孟德尔的遗传定律相媲美。这一重大的发现为探讨遗传的化学基础开辟了一个新纪元,引起了生物学的一场伟大革命。其结果是在此后不久就完全阐明了遗传密码。沃森和克里克由于这一伟大科学成果而获得诺贝尔奖金。《双螺旋——发现u0003DNA结构的故事》一书是沃森博士写的一本自传体科学史。此书最先分期发表在《The Atlantic Monthly》上,后出单行本。这本书不仅有科学知识,亦有科学工作方法。现请李文杰和刘望夷两同志根椐《The Atlantic Monthly》所载版本译成中文,于本刊分期连载,以饷读者。
In 1953, Watson and Crick proposed DNA molecular structure model in biology can be Darwin’s theory of evolution, Mendel’s genetic law comparable. This major discovery has opened up a new era for exploring the genetic basis of heredity and arousing a great revolution in biology. The result was a complete clarification of the genetic code shortly thereafter. Watson and Crick won the Nobel Prize for this great scientific achievement. The book “Double Helix - Discovery of the DNA Structure Story” is an autobiographical science written by Dr. Watson. The book was first published in “The Atlantic Monthly”, after a single book. This book not only has scientific knowledge, but also scientific methods of work. We now invite both Li Wenjie and Liu Wangyi to translate the versions contained in The Atlantic Monthly into Chinese, which are serialized in this issue and are subject to readers’ readings.
