In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers at Northwestern University have discovered that strand separation -- the essential process a "resting" double helix ...

Artist's impression of the DNA double helix structure. We are increasingly learning that these DNA strands can be unzipped to form new structures, affecting which genes are turned on and off in a ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great ...

Creating such artificial molecular systems that match or surpass DNA in functionality is of great interest to scientists. Double-helical foldamers are one such molecular system.

I have never seen Francis Crick in a modest mood.” James Watson’s mischievous opening line of The Double Helix raised many eyebrows at the time, but even Crick wouldn’t quarrel with it now ...

DNA has been recognized not only as the blueprint of life but also as a potential medium for digital data storage. With ...
