Scientists have provided the most detailed account yet of the earliest stages of DNA replication, an essential process for ...

Watson and Crick ultimately used Franklin's images, along with their own evidence for the double-stranded nature of DNA, to argue that DNA actually takes the form of a double helix, a ladder-like ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

Using cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level. The movie ...

Traits as diverse as the color of a person's eyes and the scent of a rose are determined by the information contained in DNA. Learn how this information is coded by strings of molecules called ...

Feedback, a Lego fan, delves into a new science-related set, and learns that the model of a DNA double helix is the wrong way around. Time for some jokes about mirror ...

The signature imagery of two DNA strands locked around each other is one that everyone has seen in school. And, everyone was also taught that the double helix shape with the strands are bound by ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed “molecular movie” showing DNA being unzipped at ...

MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

The pair have a “Eureka” moment upon seeing this image, realizing that DNA must have a double helical structure ... Overall, Race for the Double Helix gives a fairly accurate depiction of the ...
