The discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in the year 1953 is one of the most revolutionary scientific discoveries to date. However, the research leading to the discovery of ...

Here we present the crystal structure of MutS in complex with a 30-base pair (bp) DNA oligomer with a G·T mismatch at position 9. The non-conserved 53 amino acids at the carboxy terminus were ...

Taken in 1952, this image is the first X-ray picture of DNA, which led to the discovery of its molecular structure by Watson and Crick.Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray ...

Imagine if you could "print" a tiny skyscraper using DNA instead of steel. That’s what researchers at Columbia and Brookhaven ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA—that molecular blueprint for life—over 70 years ago. Today, scientists are still uncovering new ways to read it.

He and a colleague proved a theory advanced by the Nobel Prize winners James Watson and Francis Crick, who discovered DNA’s ...

Rosalind Franklin was a chemist and X-ray crystallographer whose data contributed to the discovery of DNA’s molecular structure. That data wasn’t stolen from her, newly uncovered evidence ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...
