Franklin Stahl was born on 8 October 1929 in Boston, Massachusetts, and died on 2 April 2025 in Eugene, Oregon. With Matthew Meselson at the California Institute of Technology, he devised the 1958 experiment that confirmed DNA replicates semiconservatively, each new molecule built from one strand of the original and one newly synthesized strand. Stahl later spent most of his career at the University of Oregon studying genetic recombination in bacteriophages and fungi.
