Transcript
Francis Crick: I wasn't so sure, I think, at that time, as to whether DNA or protein was the genetic material. Of course I knew about Avery's
experiments, and they were very suggestive, but you could argue that they weren't watertight. I knew Maurice Wilkins, I'd
known him before I went to the Cavendish, and he was working on DNA and I'd gone to talk to him, but I didn't actually myself
work on it, mainly because at the Cavendish they were working on protein structures. So I learnt about polypeptide chains,
x-ray diffraction, and things of that sort, and essentially continued to be interested in DNA rather than doing any experiments
or calculations.
