5. DNA is old news as well

Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 06:18 AM by oostevo

Friedrich Miescher found something he called "nuclein" in 1869, and Watson and Crick made their great logical leap in 1953. Honestly, the body of knowledge in genetics and molecular biology hasn't had a really significant increase this year, as far as I know.

My point was that it's sad that we still have to call something that's been the prevailing theory for so long the "top scientific breakthrough" in 2005.
