What Happened After
Felix Hoppe-Seyler did not go public with the discovery until 2 years later just to make sure the discovery was correct. Also a German scientist named Walther Flemming had made a discovery about a decade later about the chromosomes inside the cell nucleus. Another scientist named Phoebus Levene had made a discovery that was incorrect around 25 years after Friedrich Miescher. Other scientists named Watson and Crick are known for their discovery of the DNA structure.
