While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this ...

From the Popular Science archive, the story of how Watson, Crick, Wilkins, and Franklin worked out the structure of life. By Rose Pastore Published Apr 26, 2013 1:30 AM EDT Get the Popular Science ...

DNA is a complex molecule that consists of two strands coiled around each other to form a double helix structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding ...

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 ...

This top view of a G-quadruplex shows its structure in the DNA of a human telomere, where they frequently form. Thomas Splettstoesser/Wikimedia Commons In describing the two-stranded structure of DNA, ...

In his 1968 bestseller, The Double Helix, Watson claims that the image showed that a DNA helix “must exist” — only a helical structure could produce those marks. Cobb and Comfort find this ...

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 ...

Chemist Rosalind Franklin died sixty years ago today, on April 16, 1958, without recognition for her vital work in discovering the structure of DNA.

DNA is found in nearly all living cells. However, its exact location within a cell depends on whether that cell possesses a special membrane-bound organelle called a nucleus.

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 ...
