Crick’s letter about DNA discovery to be sold at auction

NEW YORK, Feb 27:  A letter by Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA, outlining the Nobel Prize-winning achievement to his young son is expected to fetch as much as 2 million dollar when it is sold at auction in April, Christie’s said yesterday. Crick and James Watson unraveled the double-helix structure and function of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) while working together in Cambridge, England, in 1953. They received the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1962 for their ground-breaking work. (agencies)
