   DNA pioneer James Watson dies at 97   
      
   Nobel Prize-winning American scientist James Watson, one of the   
   co-discoverers of the structure of DNA, has died aged 97.   
      
   In one of the greatest breakthroughs of the 20th Century, he   
   identified the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953 alongside British   
   scientist Francis Crick, setting the stage for rapid advances in   
   molecular biology.   
      
   But Watson's reputation and standing were badly hurt by his comments   
   on race and sex. In a TV programme, he made claims about genes causing   
   a difference in average IQ between black and white people
