Who said 'helix'?
Article Abstract:
This article looks into the background of the discovery of DNA structure by James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins in 1953 and the ensuing Nobel Prize award that the discovery garnered in 1962. The research work was a culmination of brilliant work by several scientists and hence certain amount of uncertaininty is wound around it as to how and who actually came up with the DNA structure. The author addresses the question.

Generation of germline-competent induced pluripotent stem cells
Article Abstract:
The selection for Nanog expression can be used to generate germline competent induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells with better embryonic stem (ES)-cell-like gene expression. The analysis reveals that such iPS cells can be easily obtained from fibroblasts and hence can be used for various clinical applications.
