This page shows navigation boxes for linking together Wikipedia articles with information about the discovery of the DNA double helix. The first such navigation box that was created is shown to the right. It was created as a way to both include an image and visually allude to the complementary base pairing that is key to the double helix structure. The Double helix template has two parameters. The first parameter is a descriptive name and it takes the name of the image to be shown as the second parameter. The example of this navigation box (shown to the right) is generated by the following wiki markup code:
{{Double helix|Name=<big>'''James D. Watson'''</big>|Photo=JamesWatson.jpg|Caption=James Watson in the lab.}}
