AWhat changed
Used isotope labelling and density separation to distinguish semiconservative DNA replication from competing models in E. coli.
Scientific scope
Used isotope labelling and density separation to distinguish semiconservative DNA replication from competing models in E. coli. Scope limitation: The result concerns the tested biological system and generations. The experiment is distinct from the earlier double-helix proposal.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. The result concerns the tested biological system and generations. The experiment is distinct from the earlier double-helix proposal.
