American scientist James Watson has passed away. He was 97 years old. He became famous for his discovery of the DNA double helix, a crucial discovery of the 20th century. He made the discovery related to the structure of the genome with Francis Crick. He won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962.

James Watson made the crucial discovery at the age of 24. Watson's discoveries helped in changing the genetic structure of organisms, treating patients with genes, and identifying corpses and suspects from DNA samples.
