Period Key developments
1930s–1940s Molecular biology originates.[1]
1950s–1960s Period of extraordinary development in molecular biology, which becomes institutionalized. The structure of DNA is uncovered by James Watson and Francis Crick. Frederick Sanger plays a seminal role in the creation of influential DNA sequencing techniques in the 1950s and 1960s.[2][1]
1970s First-generation sequencing technologies merge, including the Maxam-Gilbert method, and the Sanger method.[3] Molecular biology goes genomic.[1]
1980s–1990s After the development of sequencing techniques, efforts are focused in sequencing the human genome, giving rise to the Human Genome Project. Scientists start sequencing DNA using capillary sequencers.[1][4]
2000s Second generation of DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing launches.[5]

Full timeline

Year/period Type of event Event Location
1869–1871 Scientific development Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher first discovers and isolates Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). In 1871 Miescher publishes paper identifying the presence of nuclein (now known as DNA) and associated proteins, in the cell nucleus.[10] Germany (Tübingen)
1882 Scientific development German biochemist Albrecht Kossel differentiates ARN and DNA.[11]
1902 Scientific development American geneticist Walter Sutton publishes paper showing that chromosomes occur in distinct pairs, which segregate at meiosis.[12] United States
1902 Scientific development German biologist Theodor Boveri, working independently from Walter Sutton, recognizes that the behavior of Mendel’s particles during the production of gametes in peas precisely parallels the behavior of chromosomes at meiosis, suggesting that chromosomes could be shown to bear the material of heredity. This would further give rise to the so called Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory, which is recognized as a fundamental unifying theory of genetics which identifies chromosomes as the carriers of genetic material.[13] Germany
1906 Scientific development German biochemist Albrecht Kossel describes the four bases in nucleic acids (denine, cytosine, guanine, thymine). In 1910 Kossel would be awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for that work.[11]
1944 Scientific development Canadian-American researchers Oswald Avery and Colin Munro MacLeod, along with American geneticist Maclyn McCarty, working on experiments on pneumococcal bacteria, establish that DNA could transform the properties of cells. As a result, a number of researchers would begin investigating the structure of DNA, hoping that this would reveal how the molecule works.[14]
1950 Discovery Austro-Hungarian biochemist Erwin Chargaff discovers that concentrations of thymine and adenine, and cytosine and guanine, are always found in equal amounts in samples of DNA. This suggests that A always pairs with T and C always pairs with G in a proportion that would later become known as Chargaff's ratio, an important clue for solving the structure of DNA. [15]
1952 Scientific development American bacteriologist Alfred Hershey and American geneticist Martha Chase conduct a series of experiments (today known as Hershey–Chase experiment) to demonstrate that DNA, rather than protein, carries our genetic information.[16]
1952 Scientific development R. Markham and J. D. Smith publish paper reporting that the hydrolysis of RNA proceeds via a cyclic phosphate intermediate, which is then further hydrolysed to produce a nucleoside 2'-monophosphate or 3'-monophosphate.[17]
1953 Scientific development American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Crick discover The double helix when solving the three-dimensional structure of DNA, working from crystallographic data produced by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins.[18][19] Watson and Crick show that DNA has two strands made up of chemical sub-units known as nucleotides. These two strands arrange around each other, linked together by hydrogen bonds, in a spiral configuration called a double helix.[14]
1955 Scientific development (non-human genome) British biochemist Frederick Sanger completes the sequence of all the amino acids in the hormone insulin, a small protein secreted by the pancreas. For this achievement, Sanger would be awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1958.[20]
1958 Scientific development English physicist Francis Crick publishes theory which argues that the arrangement of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins which in turn helps determine the function of a protein.[14]
1959 Scientific development (non-human genome) American molecular biologist Robert Sinsheimer reports the genome of bacteriophage Phi X 174 becoming the first DNA molecule purified to homogeneity.[18]
1961–1966 Scientific development American biochemist Marshall Warren Nirenberg, working at the National Institute of Arthritic and Metabolic Diseases, discover the first "triplet" —a sequence of three bases of DNA that codes for one of the twenty amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins. By 1966, Nirenberg has deciphered over sixty triplets. Nirenberg's experimental system would be used, confirmed and extended by Indian-American biochemist Har Gobind Khorana, who, along with Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley, was be awarded the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for their interpretation of the genetic code and its function in protein synthesis."[21]
1965 Scientific development (non-human genome) Escherichia coli alanine transfer RNA becomes the first nucleic acid molecule to be sequenced by American biochemist Robert W. Holley and colleagues.[18][19]
1967 Scientific development U.E. Loening demonstrates that gels made from polymerized acrylamide and bisacrylamide ('polyacrylamide gels') have sufficient resolving power to separate high-molecular-weight pieces of RNA.[17]
1968 Scientific development Chinese-American biologist Ray Wu and Dale Kaiser publish the first successful DNA sequence achieved, detailing the sticky ends of the lambda phage. [22][18] [23]
1972 Scientific development American microbbiologist Hamilton O. Smith, at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, purifies the first site-specific "Type II" restriction enzyme, known as Hind II. Restriction enzymes would enable scientists to identify base sequences and, in combination with other tools, to manipulate DNA —and genes by the way— as never before. Hamilton Smith is awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1978.[24] United States
1972 Technology launch Using the 2-D fractionation method developed by Frederick Sanger, Belgian molecular biologist Walter Fiers' laboratory produces the first complete protein-coding gene sequence, that of the coat protein of bacteriophage MS2.[19]

1975 Technology launch Frederick Sanger introduces his ‘plus and minus’ method for DNA sequencing. This transition technique would prove to be critical, leading to the modern generation of methods that would completely dominate sequencing over the next 30 years.[18][28]

1976–1977 Technology launch Walter Gilbert and Allan Maxam introduce their second method of DNA sequencing using chemical processes to terminate DNA strands. This method would be known as Maxam–Gilbert sequencing.[18][26]
1977 Technology launch Frederick Sanger develops his "chain-termination" or dideoxy technique, which allows the use of chemical analogues of the deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) that are the monomers of DNA strands. This technique is considered a major breakthrough, having altered the progress of DNA sequencing.[19] In 1980 Fred Sanger would be awarded his second Nobel Prize for Chemistry (this one along with Wally Gilbert and Paul Berg), for pioneering DNA sequencing methods.[20]
1981 Scientific development (non-human genome) The genome of the cauliflower mosaic virus is first to be sequenced by shotgun sequencing.[29]
