Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

A small collection of papers (photocopied) on DNA sequencing, two of which are accompanied by Crick's notes (holograph).

The papers are:

F Sanger, "Nucleotide sequences in DNA" (The Croonian Lecture, 1975), Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B., 191 (1975), 317-33. With three sheets of notes by Crick.

Allan M Maxam and Walter Gilbert, "A new method for sequencing DNA" (typescript photocopy, n.d.). With two sheets of notes by Crick.

G M Air, et al, "The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the N (5') terminal region of gene G of bacteriophage øX174," J. Mol. Biol., 96 (1975), 703-19.

F Sanger and A R Coulson, "A rapid method for determining sequences in DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase," J. Mol. Biol., 94 (1975), 441-8.

F Sanger, et al, "Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage øX174 DNA," Nature, 265 (February 24, 1977), 687-95.

Allan M Maxam and Walter Gilbert, "A new method for sequencing DNA," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 74: 2 (February, 1977), 560-4.

F Sanger, et al, "DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 74: 12 (December, 1977), 5463-7.
