"Rediscovery of Mendel"
The basic principles of Mendelian genetics were applied to a wide variety of organisms, like "Drosophila melanogaster". -
James D. Watson and Francis Crick
They demonstrated how the molecular structure of DNA was formed. This discovery established the central tenet of molecular biology, which indicates that proteins are translated from RNA and transcribed from DNA. Since then, this dogma has been broken by exceptions, such as reverse transcription in retroviruses. -
First genome sequence
The first genome sequence of a multicellular eukaryote, Caenorhabditis elegans, was encoded.
