Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have revealed the structure of a key protein involved in ...

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 ...

An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have ...

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 ...

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

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

Base Pairing: The two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) always pairs with cytosine (C). This ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A DNA molecule comprises two molecular strands that twist around one another, creating a structure similar to a spiral staircase. Each strand has a series of chemical bases along its length, and ...
