Watch the video on the Meselson-Stahl Experiment, which confirmed the DNA replication hypothesis.
The following video is an interview with Matt Meselson and Frank Stahl, the scientists that proved semi-conservative replication. They share the story of their groundbreaking experiment from 1958, what it was like to see the results for the first time, and how it felt to be at the forefront of molecular biology research in the 1950s.
