An article by UAB professor Joan-Ramon Daban analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study, ...

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double helix structure was discovered in 1953; however, there has been widespread dispute about who was the first to make t | Immunology And Lymphatic System ...

The work of British chemist Rosalind Franklin (1920–1958) played an integral role in the discovery of the structure of DNA, but it took many years for Franklin’s contributions to be fully recognized.

Rosalind Franklin knew about DNA's double-helix structure ahead of Watson and Crick, a new study of her photos and notes reveals.

A new article analyzes in depth the physical problems associated with DNA packaging that have often been neglected in structural models of chromosomes. The study demonstrates that the multilaminar ...

Adapted from a release by Université Laval. To transcribe the information contained in our genes or to repair the dozens of breaks that occur daily in our DNA, our enzymes must be able to directly ...

An important specialty in this field—and a signature area of study at the University at Albany's RNA Institute—is DNA nanotechnology, wherein the base pairs that comprise DNA molecules are manipulated ...

In one sentence: DNA origami is a self-assembly technique that folds a long single-stranded DNA molecule into precisely defined nanoscale shapes using hundreds of short, computer-designed staple ...

Long-read sequencing of ten rice cultivars bred between 1882 and 2011 shows conserved mitochondrial genome structures within ...

They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
