Introduction: What Is DNA? Deoxyribonucleic acid, more commonly known as DNA, is a complex molecule that contains all of the information necessary to build and maintain an organism.

Scientists recently captured a high-resolution video of DNA shimmying into weird shapes in order to squeeze inside cells. Now, a group of researchers in the United Kingdom has captured high ...

Watson and Crick discovered DNA’s structure, but other scientists paved the way for them. James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA’s structure in 1953, but other scientists paved the way ...

The video is grainy, blobular, and dark, but for a molecule-scale movie, it is remarkably clear. You can see CRISPR, in real time, cleaving a strand of DNA in two.

Watson and Crick's postulation in 1953, exactly 50 years ago, of a double helical structure for DNA, heralded a revolution in our understanding of biology at the molecular level. The fact that it ...
