A new analysis suggests that Rosalind Franklin, who took the first images of DNA’s double-helix structure, knew far more ...

James Dewey Watson, whose co-discovery of the twisted-ladder structure of DNA in 1953 helped launch a revolution in biology and medicine, died Thursday at age 97. He died in hospice care after a brief ...

In honour of National DNA day and the 70th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA, biology teachers and students at Pennsbury High School in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, USA, wanted to ...

"Photo 51" was a cleaner version of an earlier X-ray image, "Photo 49," that Rosalind Franklin had already used to calculate ...

University of Miami doctoral student Bishal Shrestha is using artificial intelligence to detect unusual changes in DNA’s 3D ...

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.

Notes by the scientist pointing to a helical structure once again challenge the distorted account of her role in the discovery ...

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 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, ...

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 ...
