BIOTECH TIMELINE

Mendel's research on pea

plants laid the framework
for our present
understanding of genetics. 1865

The term "biotechnology"

1919 originated by Károly Ereky.
in 1919,

Alexander Fleming made a

significant contribution to
biotechnology.
In 1928, he discovered the 1928
antibiotic penicillin.

According to Chargaff's findings, the

amount of adenine in DNA, adenine (A)
and thymine (T) are always identical, as

1944 is the amount of cytosine (C) and

guanine (G). These are known as
Chargaff's rules , they are crucial to
comprehending DNA structure.

Rosalind Franklin, James

Watson, and Francis Crick,
Franklin's significant
accomplishments are
recognized. In 1953, the
1953
structure of DNA was
discovered.

The groundbreaking
Meselson-Stahl experiment,
conducted by in 1958, Franklin
1958 Stahl and Matthew Meselson
created crucial information in
support of the semi-
conservative replication.
A significant advance to our
understanding of the genetic code
Heinrich Matthaei and Marshall
Warren, created it.
Nirenberg, who established the link 1961
between DNA nucleotide
sequences and the amino acids
that they encode.

David Baltimore and

Howard Temin discovered
1970 reverse engineering.
In 1970, transcriptase was
discovered in retroviruses.
