A small collection of papers (photocopied) on DNA sequencing, two of which are accompanied by Crick's notes (holograph).

The papers are:

F Sanger, "Nucleotide sequences in DNA" (The Croonian Lecture, 1975), Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B., 191 (1975), 317-33. With three sheets of notes by Crick.

Allan M Maxam and Walter Gilbert, "A new method for sequencing DNA" (typescript photocopy, n.d.). With two sheets of notes by Crick.

G M Air, et al, "The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the N (5') terminal region of gene G of bacteriophage øX174," J. Mol. Biol., 96 (1975), 703-19.

F Sanger and A R Coulson, "A rapid method for determining sequences in DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase," J. Mol. Biol., 94 (1975), 441-8.
