What is recorded here?
Used isotope labelling and density separation to distinguish semiconservative DNA replication from competing models in E. coli.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The result concerns the tested biological system and generations. The experiment is distinct from the earlier double-helix proposal.
