Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

The University of Utah says it’s worried its block U symbol isn’t distinct enough — so it’s now moving to a new logo.

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 ...

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 ...

DNA minicircles and advanced imaging techniques reveal first step to untangle DNA We typically picture DNA as the straight double helix structure, but inside cells, DNA exists in supercoiled loops.

The discovery of DNA's double helix structure 70 years ago opened up a world of new science — and also sparked disputes over who contributed what and who deserves credit. Much of the controversy ...

Instead, she collaborated and shared data with Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Seventy years ago, a trio of scientific papers announcing the discovery of DNA’s double helix was published.

A new paper based on long-lost documents confirms that DNA discoverer Rosalind Franklin should be credited for discovering the double helix.

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.
