...double helix itself, the only feature of the paper that has excited comment was the short sentence: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material," This has been described as "coy," a word that few would normally associate with either of the authors,...

...biological implications. But finally he saw the point to a short remark and composed the sentence: 'It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material' " (p. 139). "It has not escaped our notice," indeed. Nor does the inherent irony escape the notice...

...biological interest." Then they say, "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing mechanism we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." As a recent commentator has pointed out, [i]n the first passage, the bold connotations of "novel" and...

...Delbriick's remarkable insight and ended their two-page paper in Nature with a classic understatement: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." 20 With the publication of Watson and Crick's two-page note, the course of scientific history in our...

...one strand is AACTGT, that on the other must be TTGACA (figure 70). Then follows a modest suggestion: It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a copying mechanism for the genetic material. And here it is (1953&): Previous discussions of self-duplication...

...pairing of the bases. "It has not escaped our notice," Francis wrote, "that the specific pairing that we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." By May, when we were writing the second Nature paper, I was more confident that the proposed structure...

...has not escaped our attention that the specific pairing [of bases in the double helical structure] we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material. — JD Watson and FHC Crick, Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic...

...has not escaped our notice," they commented in the Nature paper, "that the specific pairing mechanism we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." Complementary base pairing provides an excellent example of molecular recognition. During DNA replication,...

...become two identical molecules. In their paper appears one of the most famous sentences of science: "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material." That copying mechanism is the basis of modern molecular genetics. In the model of Mendel the gene was...

...round to writing their paper for Nature they were somewhat more circumspect. They merely stated that 'it has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing...possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.' This copying mechanism operates by dividing DNA into its two strands. On each of these grows a second...
