The work also drew on the X-ray diffraction data of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. This discovery became a fundamental milestone in understanding how hereditary information is stored and copied, and it opened the way for the development of modern molecular biology and genetics. For this work, Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.
