The Meselson and Stahl experiment demonstrated in 1958 that DNA replicated semi-conservatively. Meaning, each of the two strands of DNA serves as a template for a new copy to made of the complementary strand. Foundational finding, elegant experimental design.

The Meselson-Stahl Experiment, diagrammed to show the three possible outcomes: conservative, dispersive or semi-conservative.

Fun DNA fact: Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U: A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS. U - Uracil - isolated from URINE crystals.
