DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...

One of the most important milestones in modern science, does April 25 also mark the date of an intellectual heist? As has been well-documented, a third person contributed to the discovery — the ...

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. And now some important ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...

James D. Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped light the long fuse on a revolution in medicine, crimefighting, genealogy and ethics, has died, according to ...

James D Watson, the American biologist who co-discovered the structure of DNA and helped launch the modern age of genetics, has died at 97. His death was confirmed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory ...
