Description: (American Molecular Biologist and Geneticist Who Elucidated the Mode of 'Replication of Deoxyribonucleic Acid' (DNA))
Franklin William Stahl is a renowned American molecular biologist and geneticist recognized for his pioneering research in DNA replication. Together with Matthew Meselson, he conducted the influential Meselson-Stahl experiment, which revealed that DNA replication occurs through a semiconservative mechanism. Stahl's contributions to the field of biology as an Emeritus Professor at the University of Oregon's Institute of Molecular Biology have greatly impacted our knowledge of genetics and molecular biology, establishing him as a prominent figure in the scientific realm.
