February 28 - The rarest of genetics

 On the last day of February we recognize that not every disease is known as widely as others with "Rare Disease Day".



Created in 2008 for those unknown or overlooked illnesses out there.  And it started as a day on February 29th, itself a rare day and then morphed into just the 'last day of February'.

On this day in 1953 Franklin, Watson and Crick used some Xrays to discover the form of the building blocks of life, DNA.



Exposure 51 shows how the DNA is made up of a double helix.
