Exactly 66 years ago, on April 25, 1953, Francis Crick and James Watson published their famous article that showed that the shape of DNA is a double helix. They weren’t able to see DNA directly ...

Helix’s at-home DNA kit service offers to use your DNA to help you make more informed health decisions.

It’s the most famous corkscrew in history. Now an electron microscope has captured the famous Watson-Crick double helix in all its glory, by imaging threads of DNA resting on a silicon bed of nails.

When most of us think of DNA, we think of that iconic double helix shape. But when you zoom out, DNA gets a lot more complicated. "When Watson and Crick described the DNA double helix, they were ...

A startup called Helix is counting on people being curious enough to drop cash in its DNA app store (Opens in a new window) on a regular basis. The initial testing costs $80, and after that you ...

Since the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA nearly 70 years ago, scientists have worked to understand how the two strands of DNA are opened to access the genetic information they ...

Helix, a DNA-testing startup that runs an "app store" for your genetic code, has raised $200 million. DFJ Growth Fund led the series B round, and former AOL CEO Barry Schuler, a partner at DFJ, is ...

Researchers have identified a new way to measure DNA torsional stiffness -- how much resistance the helix offers when twisted -- information that can potentially shed light on how cells work.

CLAIM: COVID-19 mRNA vaccines alter recipients' DNA by changing its shape to a "triple helix." THE FACTS: There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines are editing humans' DNA, experts have told the ...
