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

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

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 ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

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.

A new technique for probing the 3-D structure of ancient DNA may help scientists learn how extinct animals functioned, not just what they looked like.

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 ...

Materials scientists have created a glass nanolattice structure five times lighter and four times stronger than steel. They call the new material the strongest known for its given density.

An article written for Time Magazine, but never published, could have rewritten the history of how DNA was discovered.
