Watson and Crick’s landmark paper, published in Nature in 1953, included only a cursory acknowledgment of Franklin’s work.

The most famous image to emerge from 20th-century biology is the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix, illustrating the structure of the gene, life’s genetic material. Credit for the ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Nobel laureate Francis Crick dies at age 88. He and fellow laureate James Watson discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953.

A domestic research team has developed a gene scissors technology that kills only the mutated DNA of cancer cells by cutting ...

Scientists studied how a DNA double helix unzips when translocated at high velocity through a nanopore, reconstructing fundamental DNA thermodynamic properties from the sole speed of the process.

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 ...

Does the double helix diet hold a clue to weight loss? Today, it is possible to get diet plans that are tailored to your gene make-up. But having information and using it effectively are two ...
