The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

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 ...

James Watson and Francis Crick revealed the structure of DNA — the genetic instructions in all living things — 70 years ago in the journal Nature. Watson and Crick could not have succeeded ...

Scientists have discovered a new structure inside human cells: a never-before-seen twisted "knot" of DNA. Dubbed the "i-motif," this four-stranded knot looks totally different from the iconic ...

A piece that aired on NPR this week about the discovery of DNA's structure neglected to mention the significant contribution of Rosalind Franklin to that scientific milestone.

Unable to resolve the A-form structure, Franklin had decided by the middle of 1952 that it was not actually helical — she even teased Wilkins with a mock funeral notice for the crystalline DNA ...
