The discovery of DNA focused scientists' efforts and led to the research into genetics and heredity aimed at improving life on Earth today.

It was Wilkins who showed Watson and Crick the X-ray data Franklin obtained. The data confirmed the 3-D structure that Watson and Crick had theorized for DNA. In 1953, both Wilkins and Franklin published papers on their X-ray data in the same Nature issue with Watson and Crick's paper on the structure of DNA. Franklin left Cambridge in 1953 and went to the Birkbeck lab to work on the structure of tobacco mosaic virus.
