Hershey-Chase experiment

This was where the well-known Hershey-Chase experiment was performed.

Thus, the Hershey-Chase experiment helped confirm that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material.

Once the Hershey-Chase experiment was published, the scientific community generally acknowledged that DNA was the genetic code material.

The Hershey-Chase experiment in 1952 showed that only DNA and not protein enters a bacterial cell upon infection with bacteriophage T2.

At that time DNA was not yet accepted as the carrier of hereditary information, which only was the case after the Hershey-Chase experiment of 1952.

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase furthered Avery's research in 1952 with the Hershey-Chase experiment.

The Hershey-Chase experiments were a series of experiments started in 1952 by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase.

September 20 - Publication of the paper on the Hershey-Chase experiment showing conclusively that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of bacteriophages.

Their paper, combined with the Hershey-Chase experiment and Chargaff's data on nucleotides, finally persuaded biologists that DNA is the genetic material, not protein.

The Hershey-Chase experiment, its predecessors, such as the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and successors served to unequivocally establish that hereditary information was carried by DNA.

By the time of the 1952 Hershey-Chase experiment, geneticists were more inclined to consider DNA as the genetic material, and Alfred Hershey was an influential member of the phage group.

Despite the much less precise experimental results (they found a not-insignificant amount of protein entering the cells as well as DNA), the Hershey-Chase experiment was not subject to the same degree of challenge.

In 1952, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase confirmed that the genetic material of the bacteriophage, the virus which infects bacteria, is made up of DNA (see Hershey-Chase experiment).

DNA's role in heredity was confirmed in 1952, when Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase in the Hershey-Chase experiment showed that DNA is the genetic material of the T2 phage.

The Hershey-Chase experiment in 1952 confirmed that DNA (rather than protein) is the genetic material of the viruses that infect bacteria, providing further evidence that DNA is the molecule responsible for inheritance.

The results of the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, published in 1944, suggested that DNA was the genetic material, but there was still some hesitation within the general scientific community to accept this, which set the stage for the Hershey-Chase experiment.

The 'Hershey-Chase experiments' were a series of experiments conducted in 1952 by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, confirming that DNA was the genetic material, which had first been demonstrated in the 1944 Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment.

He moved with his assistant Martha to Cold Spring Harbor, New York, in 1950 to join the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Department of Genetics, where he performed the famous Hershey-Chase experiment with Martha Chase in 1952.

Hotchkiss found that virtually all the detected nitrogen in the purified DNA used in for the transformation experiments came from glycine, a breakdown product of the nucleotide base adenine, and estimated that undetected protein contamination was at most .02%, although he did not publish this result until 1952 (the year of the Hershey-Chase experiment).
