In April, National Geographic News published a story about the letter
<http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2013/04/11/francis-cricks-letter-to-son-describing-dna-auctioned/>in
which scientist Francis Crick described DNA to his 12-year-old son. In
1962, Crick was awarded a Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1962/&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHzO-4BgjjZkDMh9CWYKI6bqvtYKA>,
along with fellow scientists James Watson and Maurice Wilkins.

Several people posted comments about our story that noted one name was
missing from the Nobel roster: Rosalind Franklin
<http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/retrieve/Narrative/KR/p-nid/183>, a British
biophysicist who also studied DNA. Her data were critical to Crick and
Watson's work. But it turns out that Franklin would not have been eligible
for the prize—she had passed away four years before Watson, Crick, and
Wilkins received the prize, and the Nobel is never awarded posthumously.

But even if she had been alive, she may still have been overlooked. Like
many women scientists, Franklin was robbed of recognition throughout her
career (See her section below for details.)

She was not the first woman to have endured indignities in the
male-dominated world of science, but Franklin's case is especially
egregious, said Ruth Lewin Sime
<http://wserver.scc.losrios.edu/~sah/chemistry/sime/>, a retired chemistry
professor at Sacramento City College who has written on women in science.

Over the centuries, female researchers have had to
<http://www.npr.org/2012/10/12/162813929/is-the-nobel-prize-a-boys-mostly-club>work
as "volunteer" faculty
<http://www.npr.org/2012/10/12/162813929/is-the-nobel-prize-a-boys-mostly-club>
members, seen credit
for significant discoveries they've made assigned to male colleagues, and
been written out of textbooks
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1997791/?page=1&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHW7z2_i5KA4Eib0oxTxkZyL6FX_Q>
.

They typically had paltry resources and fought uphill battles to achieve
what they did, only "to have the credit attributed to their husbands or
male colleagues," said Anne Lincoln
<http://www.smu.edu/Dedman/Academics/Departments/Sociology/~/link.aspx?_id=BB5B23D111C941B4BAFB413722B2FBEF&_z=z>,
a sociologist at Southern Methodist University in Texas, who studies biases
against women in the sciences.

Today's women scientists believe that attitudes have changed, said Laura
Hoopes <http://www.biology.pomona.edu/people/faculty/hoopes.shtml> at
Pomona College in California, who has written extensively on women in the
sciences—"until it hits them in the face." Bias against female scientists
is less overt, but it has not gone away
<http://www.pnas.org/content/109/41/16474.abstract>.

Here are six female researchers who did groundbreaking work—and whose names
are likely unfamiliar for one reason: because they are women.

Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Born in Northern Ireland in 1943, Jocelyn Bell Burnell
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/astro/people/SJocelynBellBurnell.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGZQE3UhexoumYEbACzEui2bejMSw>
discovered
pulsars in 1967 while still a graduate student in radio astronomy at
Cambridge University in England.

Pulsars are the remnants of massive stars that went supernova. Their very
existence demonstrates that these giants didn't blow themselves into
oblivion—instead, they left behind small, incredibly dense, rotating stars.

Bell Burnell discovered the recurring signals given off by their rotation
while analyzing data printed out on three miles of paper
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016812j> from a radio telescope she
helped assemble.

The finding resulted in a Nobel Prize, but the
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1974/>1974 award
in physics <http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1974/>
went
to Anthony Hewish—Bell Burnell's supervisor—and Martin Ryle, also a radio
astronomer at Cambridge University.

The snub generated a "wave of sympathy" for Bell Burnell. But in an
interview with National Geographic News this month, the astronomer was
fairly matter-of-fact.

"The picture people had at the time of the way that science was done was
that there was a senior man—and it was always a man—who had under him a
whole load of minions, junior staff, who weren't expected to think, who
were only expected to do as he said," explained Bell Burnell, now a
visiting astronomy professor at the University of Oxford.

But despite the sympathy, and her groundbreaking work, Bell Burnell said
she was still subject to the prevailing attitudes toward women in academia.

"I didn't always have research jobs," she said. Many of the positions the
astrophysicist was offered in her career were focused on teaching or
administrative and management duties.

"[And] it was extremely hard combining family and career," Bell Burnell
said, partly because the university where she worked while pregnant had no
provisions for maternity leave.

She has since become quite "protective" of women in academia. Some
individual schools may give them support, but Bell Burnell wants a systemic
approach to boost the numbers of female researchers.

She recently chaired a working group for the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
tasked with finding a strategy to boost the number of women
<http://www.royalsoced.org.uk/cms/files/advice-papers/inquiry/women_in_stem/tapping_talents.pdf>
in
the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math in Scotland. (Learn

Esther Lederberg

Born in 1922 in the Bronx, Esther Lederberg would grow up to lay the
groundwork for future discoveries on genetic inheritance in bacteria, gene
regulation, and genetic recombination.

A microbiologist, she is perhaps
<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/08/obituaries/08lederberg.html?_r=2&;>best
known for discovering a virus that infects bacteria
<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/08/obituaries/08lederberg.html?_r=2&;>—called
the lambda bacteriophage—in 1951, while at the University of Wisconsin.

Lederberg, along with her first husband Joshua Lederberg, also developed a
way to easily transfer bacterial colonies from one petri dish to another,
called replica plating, which enabled the study of antibiotic resistance.
The Lederberg method is still in use today.

Joshua Lederberg's work on replica plating played a part in his 1958 Nobel
Prize for physiology or medicine
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1958/>, which he
shared with George Beadle and Edward Tatum.

"She deserved credit for the discovery of lambda phage, her work on the F
fertility factor, and, especially, replica plating," wrote Stanley Falkow
<http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/Stanley_Falkow/>, a retired
microbiologist at Stanford University, in an email. But she didn't receive
it.

Lederberg also wasn't treated fairly in terms of her academic standing at
Stanford, added Falkow, a colleague of Lederberg's who spoke at her
memorial service in 2006
<http://news.stanford.edu/news/2006/november29/med-esther-112906.html>.
"She had to fight just to be appointed as a research associate professor,
whereas she surely should have been afforded full professorial rank. She
was not alone. Women were treated badly in academia in those days."

Chien-Shiung Wu

Born in Liu Ho, China, in 1912, Chien-Shiung Wu overturned a law of physics
and participated in the development of the atom bomb.

Wu was recruited to Columbia University in the 1940s as part of the
<http://energy.gov/management/manhattan-project>Manhattan Project
<http://energy.gov/management/manhattan-project> and conducted research on
radiation detection and uranium enrichment
<http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/medalofscience50/wu.jsp>. She
stayed in the United States after the war and became known as one of the
best experimental physicists of her time, said Nina Byers
<http://www.pa.ucla.edu/directory/nina-byers>, a retired physics professor
at the University of California, Los Angeles.

In the mid-1950s, two theoretical physicists, Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen Ning
Yang, approached Wu to help disprove the law of parity. The law holds that
in quantum mechanics, two physical systems—like atoms—that were mirror
images would behave in identical ways.

Wu's experiments using
<http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/cobalt.html>cobalt-60
<http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/cobalt.html>, a radioactive
form of the cobalt metal, upended this law, which had been accepted for 30
years.

This milestone in physics led to a 1957 Nobel Prize
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1957/> for Yang
and Lee—but not for Wu, who was left out despite her critical role. "People
found [the Nobel decision] outrageous," said Byers.

Pnina Abir-Am <http://www.brandeis.edu/wsrc/scholars/profiles/abir-am.html>,
a historian of science at Brandeis University, agreed, adding that
ethnicity also played a role.

Wu died of a stroke in 1997 in New York.

Lise Meitner

Born in Vienna, Austria, in 1878, Lise Meitner's work in nuclear physics
<http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/meitner.html>led to the discovery of
nuclear fission <http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/meitner.html>—the fact
that atomic nuclei can split in two. That finding laid the groundwork for
the atomic bomb.

Her story is a complicated tangle of sexism, politics, and ethnicity.

After finishing her doctoral degree in physics at the University of Vienna,
Meitner moved to Berlin in 1907 and started collaborating with chemist Otto
Hahn. They maintained their working relationship for more than 30 years.

After the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938, Meitner, who was Jewish,
made her way to Stockholm, Sweden. She continued to work with Hahn,
corresponding and meeting secretly in Copenhagen in November of that year.

Although Hahn performed the experiments that produced the evidence
supporting the idea of nuclear fission, he was unable to come up with an
explanation. Meitner and her nephew, Otto Frisch, came up with the theory.

Hahn published their findings without including Meitner as a co-author
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/reviews/lisemeitner.htm>,
although several accounts say Meitner understood this omission, given the
situation in Nazi Germany.

"That's the start of how Meitner got separated from the credit of
discovering nuclear fission," said Lewin Sime, who wrote a biography of
Meitner
<http://www.amazon.com/Lise-Meitner-A-Life-Physics/dp/0520208609/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368474878&sr=8-1&keywords=ruth+lewin+sime>
.

The other contributing factor to the neglect of Meitner's work was her
gender. Meitner once wrote to a friend that it was almost a crime to be a
woman in Sweden. A researcher on the Nobel physics committee actively tried
to shut her out. So Hahn alone won the
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1944/>1944
Nobel Prize in chemistry
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1944/> for his
contributions to splitting the atom.

"Meitner's colleagues at the time, including physicist Niels Bohr
<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/bpbohr.html>, absolutely felt
she was instrumental in the discovery of nuclear fission," Sime said. But
since her name wasn't on that initial paper with Hahn—and she was left off
the Nobel Prize recognizing the discovery—over the years, she has not been
associated with the finding.

The nuclear physicist died in 1968 in Cambridge, England. (Learn more about
Meitner's career.
<http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2010/02/0211lise-meitner-publishes-nuclear-fission/all/>
)

Rosalind Franklin

Born in 1920 in London, Rosalind Franklin used x-rays to take a picture of
DNA that would change biology.

Hers is perhaps one of the most well-known—and shameful—instances of a
researcher being robbed of credit, said Lewin Sime.

Franklin graduated with a doctorate in physical chemistry from Cambridge
University in 1945, then spent three years at an institute in Paris where
she learned x-ray diffraction techniques, or the ability to determine the
molecular structures of crystals. (Learn more about her education and
qualifications. <http://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/franklin.html>)

She returned to England in 1951 as a research associate in John Randall's
laboratory at King's College in London and soon encountered Maurice
Wilkins, who was leading his own research group studying the structure of
DNA.

Franklin and Wilkins worked on separate DNA projects, but by
<http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/retrieve/Narrative/KR/p-nid/187>some
accounts <http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/retrieve/Narrative/KR/p-nid/187>,
Wilkins mistook Franklin's role in Randall's lab as that of an assistant
rather than head of her own project.

Meanwhile, James Watson and Francis Crick, both at Cambridge University,
were also trying to determine the structure of DNA. They communicated with
Wilkins, who at some point showed them
<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/DNA-photograph.html>Franklin's image of
DNA <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/DNA-photograph.html>—known as Photo
51—without her knowledge.

Photo 51 enabled Watson, Crick, and Wilkins to deduce the correct structure
for DNA, which they published in a
<http://www.nature.com/nature/dna50/archive.html>series of articles
<http://www.nature.com/nature/dna50/archive.html> in the journal Nature in
April 1953. Franklin also published in the same issue, providing further
details on DNA's structure.

Franklin's image of the DNA molecule was key to deciphering its structure,
but only Watson, Crick, and Wilkins received the
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1962/>1962 Nobel
Prize in physiology or medicine
<http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1962/> for their
work.

Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1958 in London, four years before
Watson, Crick, and Wilkins received the Nobel. Since Nobel prizes aren't
awarded posthumously, we'll never know whether Franklin would have received
a share in the prize for her work. (Learn more about Franklin and Photo 51.
<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/photo51/>)

Nettie Stevens

Born in 1861 in Vermont, Nettie Stevens performed studies crucial in
determining that
<http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/Sex-Chromosomes-and-Sex-Determination-44565>an
organism's sex was dictated by its chromosomes
<http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/Sex-Chromosomes-and-Sex-Determination-44565>
rather
than environmental or other factors.

After receiving her doctorate from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania,
Stevens continued at the college as a researcher studying sex determination.

By
<http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/nettie-stevens-a-discoverer-of-sex-chromosomes-6580266>working
on mealworms
<http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/nettie-stevens-a-discoverer-of-sex-chromosomes-6580266>,
she was able to deduce that the males produced sperm with X and Y
chromosomes—the sex chromosomes—and that females produced reproductive
cells with only X chromosomes. This was evidence supporting the theory that
sex determination is directed by an organism's genetics.

A fellow researcher, named Edmund Wilson, is said to have done similar
work, but  <http://www.jstor.org/stable/230427>came to the same conclusion
later <http://www.jstor.org/stable/230427> than Stevens did.

Stevens fell victim to a phenomenon known as the Matilda Effect
<http://www.jstor.org/stable/pdfplus/285482.pdf?acceptTC=true>—the
repression or denial of the contributions of female researchers to science.

Thomas Hunt Morgan
<http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/thomas-hunt-morgan-and-sex-linkage-452>,
a prominent geneticist at the time, is often credited with discovering the
genetic basis for sex determination, said Pomona College's Hoopes. He was
the first to write a genetics textbook, she noted, and he wanted to magnify
his contributions.

"Textbooks have this terrible tendency to choose the same evidence as other
textbooks," she added. And so Stevens' name was not associated with the
discovery of sex determination.

Hoopes has no doubt that Morgan was indebted to Stevens. "He corresponded
with other scientists at the time about his theories," she said. "[But] his
letters back and forth with Nettie Stevens were not like that. He was
asking her for details of her experiments."

"When she died [of breast cancer in 1912], he wrote about her in
<http://www.sciencemag.org/content/35/907/771.1.citation?sid=b4e9516b-9c7b-47b6-b79e-1ffdc0572d44>
Science
<http://www.sciencemag.org/content/35/907/771.1.citation?sid=b4e9516b-9c7b-47b6-b79e-1ffdc0572d44>,
[and] he wrote that he thought she didn't have a broad view of science,"
said Hoopes. "But that's because he didn't ask her."

And now we'd like to ask: Who would you add to this list of female
researchers who did not get the credit they deserved for their work?

KR  I would like to add women scientists of ISRO, including the Deputy
project director, not even shown properly.

Male DNA is the type of DNA that occurs inside the cells of males. The main
feature of male DNA is that it contains one X chromosome with the maternal
<https://pediaa.com/what-is-the-difference-between-maternal-and-paternal-chromosomes/#Maternal%20Chromosomes>
origin
and one Y chromosome with the fraternal origin. Therefore, male DNA
contains a single type of X chromosomes.



On the other hand, this makes the Y chromosome the sex-determining
chromosome in humans. In humans, the Y chromosome contains around 59
million base pairs and around 200 working genes. However, the expression of
some of the genes in the Y chromosome occurs *heterozygously. *

What is Female DNA

Female DNA is the other type of DNA set that occurs in humans. They are
present inside the female cells, and they contain two X chromosomes with
different parental origins. Generally, X chromosome is around 153 million
base pairs long. Moreover, it contains around 1000 working genes. Out of
this, 200-300 genes are uniquely expressed only in females. Other genes are
similar to both males and females.

Furthermore, due to the presence of two X chromosomes with different
paternal origins, the characteristics of the X chromosome can be used in
the discrimination between male and female DNA. Some of these
characteristics include the type of nitrogenous base present in a
particular variable region on the X chromosome and number of repeats
of a particular
STR present in the X chromosome. Here, female DNA contains two different X
chromosomes, and therefore, two variables of a particular characteristic
can be identified in female DNA. However, as male DNA contains a single X
chromosome, only one variable should occur out of the two in male DNA.

Similarities Between Male and Female DNA

   - Male and female DNA are the two sets of DNA found in humans.
   - The characterization of male and female DNA is important for gender
   discrimination in forensic studies.

Difference Between Male and Female DNA

Definition

Male DNA refers to the set of DNA in males, while female DNA refers to the
set of DNA in females.

Furthermore, male DNA has heterogametic sex, while female DNA has
homogametic sex.

Karyotype

Besides, the karyotype of male DNA is 46: XY, while the karyotype of female
DNA is 46: XX.

Number of X Chromosomes

Another major difference between male and female DNA is that male DNA
contains only one X chromosome, while female DNA contains two X chromosomes
with different origins.

Number of Genes

Also, the Y chromosome of males contains around 200 working genes, while
the X chromosome of females contains around 1000 working genes.

Polymorphic Sites

A particular variable region on the X chromosome of male DNA may contain
either C or G, while that particular region of the X chromosome may contain
either C, G or a mixture of C and G in female DNA, proving that there are
two types of X chromosomes.

STRs

Moreover, all the X chromosomes of male DNA contain the same number of a
particular STR, while all the X chromosomes of female DNA contain two types
of that particular STR. Hence, this is also an important difference between
male and female DNA.

Sex Abnormalities

Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) and XYY syndrome are the sex abnormalities
associated with male DNA, while Turner syndrome (X0) and triple X syndrome
are the sex abnormalities associated with female karyotypes.

Conclusion

Male DNA is the set of chromosomes that occurs inside cells of a male.
Moreover, it contains one X chromosome from the mother and one Y chromosome
from the father. As it contains a single X chromosome, a particular
variable region contains a single type of base. However, in female DNA,
there can be two different types of bases in the two X chromosomes. Also,
the X chromosomes of male DNA contains a single type of a particular STR.
But, in female DNA, there can be two types of a particular STR since female
DNA contains two X chromosomes. Basically, these are due to the presence of
two X chromosomes in female DNA. Therefore, the main difference between
male and female DNA is the type of sex chromosomes present in each type of
DNA.

KR     Parenthood is only a sub factor; 1000 working genetics is far
superior to 200 basics of men; so, let us respect women without attributing
it to just parenthood. Both the abstracts drawn above about a
male-chauvinism are from National Geography and how women's DNA is far
better working, beyond parenthood, that too changing far and wide as women
enter in different family life, is from Medical Science. A woman only makes
a man so a man shall respect the woman.
